What a Porsche loves is winding roads and corners. There’s nothing terribly special about driving very fast in a straight line. To appreciate the essence of the sports car concept, look at the curves.” (Stefan Weckbach) Mission: Driving pleasure “The dynamics of driving straight ahead are simple. Whether a Porsche has a combustion engine or a purely electric powertrain, it needs to be able to perform on a race track. They convert electrical energy into propulsion very efficiently and smoothly, and build up relatively little heat in the process. ![]() The PSMs are the turbos among electric motors. With a combined output of more than 600 hp (440 kW), they catapult the Mission E to 60 miles per hour in less than 3.5 seconds, and to 124 miles per hour in less than 12 seconds. One of them powers the rear axle, the other the front axle. Two permanent magnet synchronous motors (PSMs), similar to those in the 919 Hybrid that won Le Mans, propel the car and recover energy when braking. Its powertrain is completely new, but, like that of every Porsche, is based on technology tested in motorsports. But it’s not the sports car you might expect. Mission: Performance “Our core area of expertise lies in complex, efficient, and high-performance powertrains-just look at the 918 Spyder or 919 Hybrid.” (Stefan Weckbach, Mission E project head) Mission E doesn’t just make one statement, but several at once. And of course with a timeless, elegant, aesthetic form. ![]() And how it meets every Porsche standard in terms of performance, fuel efficiency, driving dynamics, and everyday practicality-based on revolutionary technology. This concept shows what the first purely electric sports car in the brand’s history could look like. A sports car that covers over 300 miles with superb performance-but without a drop of gasoline? Welcome to the future: the Mission E electric concept car.
