Porsche Mission E study

The Porsche Mission E concept car is the result of thinking that if we had endless money and all the knowledge at our disposal, we would... German engineers were in this skin, so this is a luxury sports sedan with 600 horses, which powered by electricity, armed to the teeth with the best they have. They pushed the drive to the 919 Hybrid race car, while for the construction they looked to the production hybrid Spyder 918 and its version for the Le Mans endurance race, and they also removed the battery. Two built-in electric motors produce 600 horsepower, and it accelerates from zero to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds. Oh, and it charges faster than a Tesla!

The sports e-limousine was displayed together at the Frankfurt Motor Show with the rejuvenated 911 model, who recently had his wrinkles tightened. It has four doors and just as many movable seats.
