Porsche celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2023 with the Mission X supercar. The idea provided a glimpse into the electrical future, however there hasn’t been a lot information since then. Recently although, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume mentioned a call relating to whether or not or to not put the automobile into manufacturing will occur later this 12 months.
Porsche’s head honcho informed the Australian journal CarSales that the suggestions acquired following the Mission X’s debut final June has been “massively positive.” The 55-year-old govt mentioned, “It’s a great motivation for us to do the car.” If authorized, it might be solely the fourth supercar flagship from Zuffenhausen, following within the footsteps of the 959, Carrera GT, and the 918 Spyder.
Porsche has been tight-lipped concerning the technical specs of the spectacular idea, however we do know Mission X is about 177.1 inches lengthy, 78.7 inches huge, and fewer than 47.2 inches tall. It has a wheelbase of 107.5 inches and staggered wheels (20 inches entrance and 21 inches rear), with a battery pack mounted behind the seats. When the idea debuted, we had been informed the supercar had a power-to-weight ratio of at the very least one horsepower per 1 kilogram (2.2 kilos).
Porsche additionally touted greater downforce figures than the 911 GT3 RS (992), which generates 409 kg of whole downforce at 124 mph (200 km/h) and 860 kg at 177 mph (285 km/h). Mission X additionally may cost the battery about two instances faster than the Taycan Turbo S. However, that was earlier than the 2025 Taycan jumped from 270 kilowatts to 320 kilowatts. The four-door EV can now juice its battery from 10 to 80 p.c in 18 minutes.
The Mission X with its 900-volt structure would go up towards the Rimac Nevera, which has been engineered to help 500-kW charging. The Lotus Evija can deal with 350 kW.
Nearly a 12 months after its debut, the Mission X’s output stays a thriller. Multiple stories declare it has roughly 1,500 horsepower however others consider it is nearer to 1,700 hp, if no more. It’s unclear what number of motors it has, though we reckon at the very least two—one for every axle—to allow an all-wheel-drive structure. The Nevera and Evija each have a quad-motor setup.
A subsequent manufacturing model of the Mission X could be the quickest road-legal manufacturing automobile on the Nürburgring. The time to beat could be 6 minutes and 35.18 seconds achieved by the Mercedes-AMG One. The Green Hell is a demanding observe, particularly for EVs, contemplating it is a lengthy circuit stretching 12.94 miles (20.83 kilometers).
Regardless of worth, collectors will likely be throughout this automobile. Production is more likely to be restricted and we would not be shocked if all items had been spoken for previous to the debut. Should it get the inexperienced mild this 12 months, the primary deliveries to prospects are unlikely to happen ahead of 2026.
It’s too quickly to say what number of may very well be constructed, however the 918 Spyder was restricted to 918 items whereas the Carrera GT earlier than it had a manufacturing run of 1,270 examples. The 959 was far rarer since solely 292 buyer vehicles had been ever assembled.
