Porsche Mission X concept, 75th anniversary Porsche, design, powertrain, technical details


Porsche will aim for the Nurburgring record with the production version of the Mission X.

On the occasion of its 75th anniversary, porsche unveiled a stunning two-seat concept called the Mission X. The rear-wheel drive electric supercar is a potential spiritual successor to the Carrera GT and Agent 918. The Mission X was intended to be a lightweight ‘super sports car’ with a high-performance electric powertrain capable of delivering over 1,500 hp. Porsche also aims to be the fastest legal car on the Nurburgring Nordschleife.

  1. Mission X is inspired by the design of the Le Mans supercar
  2. Porsche is aiming for a power-to-weight ratio of 1:1
  3. Will be the spiritual successor to the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar

Dimensions, exterior design of Porsche Mission X

The Mission X is relatively compact – 4.5 meters long with a wheelbase of 2.73 meters – as noted by Porsche, making it a worthy competitor to the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder it shares. philosophical line. It stands less than 1.2 meters tall and sits on wheels 20 inches in front and 21 inches in back, a move designed to optimize aerodynamics.

The car’s design aims to combine performance with “modern luxury” and some design cues from Porsche’s hugely successful models. Le Mans 24 Hour Sports Prototype of course. There is a lightweight glass dome with a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic outer frame that extends across both seats. Le Mans-style doors, similar to those used on the legendary 917 racing car, are fixed to the A-pillar and open forward and upward.

The Mission X features a remake of Porsche’s ‘four point’ lighting graphics, with 906 and 908-inspired vertical headlights consisting of framed LED light modules. At the rear, there is a long cluster of lights and the transparent, illuminated Porsche lettering.

A focus on aerodynamic design can be seen throughout the machine, both in its overall presence and in smaller details, including the nearly evaporative aerodynamic blades on the rear wheels, whose design like a turbine to improve cooling for the rear brake.

Interior Porsche Mission X

Inside, the Mission X’s driver-focused focus is represented by an asymmetrical, motorsport-style layout – and the use of different colors for the two seats. Both race seats have six-point harnesses and feature a sports car-style open-wheel steering wheel with paddle shifters.

To ensure that any future Nurburgring records can be recorded, the car has multiple built-in cameras, which are activated by a special record button on the multi-controller. The passenger side has a ‘bayonet system’ built into the instrument panel that can immobilize the chronograph module to provide lap times or other driving data during on-road use, or racetrack.

Technical details of the Porsche Mission X

Porsche hasn’t revealed any technical details about the intended powertrain for the Mission X, but the company has laid out a “technical vision”, laying out a set of goals that engineers are aiming to achieve. put it into mass production.

These include the Nurburgring lap record goal – The current record is held by the Mercedes-AMG One, completed the 20.83 km lap in 6 minutes 35.18 seconds. The focus will be heavily on efficiency and lightweight design – a traditional challenge for performance electric vehicles – with an expected power-to-weight ratio of 1 hp per kilogram.

Porsche hasn’t revealed a target weight yet, but given the company’s focus on lightweight design, the target is likely to be closer to the current weight. 911 – about 1,400 or 1,500kg. That, in turn, would suggest around 1,500 horsepower.

Another technical goal is for the machine to generate downforce levels that are “far beyond” current levels 911 GT3RS – can produce 860kg at 285kph.

Porsche Mission X battery and charger

Porsche has confirmed that the battery will be mounted behind the car’s seat, where the engine of a traditional mid-engine hypercar is located. Called the ‘e-core’ concept, it reflects Porsche’s approach to CHEAP MissionsIt also helps center the mass in the vehicle for better handling and allows for a lower floor than a traditional battery-powered skateboard chassis.

Meanwhile, Porsche says it’s also pursuing “significantly improved” charging performance for its 900V architecture, with the goal of the Mission X charging twice as fast as taycan. The Taycan can charge at up to 225 kW, which suggests Porsche is aiming for 450 kW. Such fast charging will help allow the vehicle to be equipped with a relatively small battery, thereby reducing weight.

Porsche did not give details on the type or size of batteries the concept will use, but its supercar performance means it may be looking at high-performance units developed for sports cars. or supercars.

Porsche Mission X: when will it enter production?

Task Name X is an explicit reference to 2015 Mission E conceptpreviewed the Taycan going into production in 2019. In 2021, Porsche introduced a Mission R, hinting at an electric motor. 718 Boxster and Cayman successors are expected around the middle of this decade.

Based on those timelines, any production vehicle based on the Mission X is unlikely to arrive until around 2027. It’s understandable that the concept is entirely Porsche-developed and unrelated to Rimac , the Croatian supercar company that Porsche holds an important position. share.

Mission X was announced on June 8, which is the 75th anniversary of the brand’s founding.
