Porsche Mission X

At Porsche, innovative concept cars have always laid the groundwork for the future. The sports car manufacturer is continuing this tradition with this latest concept study. Mission X is a spectacular reinterpretation of a hypercar, with Le Mans-style doors that open upwards to the front and a high-performance, efficient electric powertrain.

 

 

The Mission X is a dramatic-looking two-seater and celebrated its premiere on 8 June 2023 – the eve of the '75 Years of Porsche Sports Cars' exhibition opening at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart - Zuffenhausen. A special date: 75 years ago, on 8 June 1948, the 356 'No. 1' Roadster became the first automobile bearing the name Porsche to receive its general operating permit. This was the birth of the sports car brand.

 

 

 

 

Michael Mauer, Head of Style Porsche, said: “The Mission X is a clear commitment to the core of the brand. The continuing, enhanced expression of our brand and product identity is an important compass for us to navigate the development of our series-production models. The concept study symbolizes a symbiosis of unmistakable motorsport DNA with a luxurious overall impression.”

 

Measuring approximately 4.5 meters long and two meters wide, the Mission X concept study is a relatively compact hypercar. With a wheelbase of 2.73 metres, it has the dimensions of the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder. For aerodynamic purposes, the concept car has mixed-size tyres, with 20-inch wheels at the front and 21-inch wheels at the rear.

 

 

The Mission X represents the pinnacle of performance and modern luxury. At the same time, its sculpted form and muscular lines demonstrate that hypercars don't have to look aggressive. The lowslung bodywork, which is less than 1.2 meters tall, is finished in Rocket Metallic – an elegant paint color specially designed for the concept study.
Technical vision: top marks in power-to-weight ratio, downforce and charging performance Porsche exemplifies e-performance yet is also a pioneer in sustainable mobility. The concept study meets both objectives in full measure.
