ThePorsche Mission X is an electricconceptsports car manufactured byPorsche. It was presented in June 2023 and is set to be the successor of thePorsche 918 Spyder.[3]
It is said to have a 1:1 power to weight ratio, made possible with an electric motor instead of anInternal Combustion Engine like the 918 Spyder, following the style of theKoenigsegg One:1. Porsche is aiming for this car to be the record holder for road-legal cars on theNürburgring Nordschleife. Porsche also states that the battery for the 900-volt architecture will be situated behind the seats, much like a mid -engine car.[4]
The Mission X was presented in the preamble to the centenary of the24 Hours of Le Mans, on 8 June 2023 on the occasion of the exhibition "75 years of Porsche Sports Cars" at the Porsche Museum inZuffenhausen, inStuttgart, Germany.[5] It thus celebrates the 75th anniversary of the German brand[6] with the release of thePorsche 356 roadster on 8 June 1948.[7]
Since then, it has made a number of appearances in the car community. It was showcased at the 2024Australian Grand Prix, the 2023Icons of Porsche festival inDubai and the2023 Munich Motor Show.
As part of building hype for Porsche’s Mission X, Porsche has been actively showcasing the car around the world. Though many state the car may be delayed indefinitely, this has not yet been confirmed by Porsche.[8]
The Mission X appears as a playable vehicle inGran Turismo 7 as part of the 1.54 update.[9]
