As soon as we think of Porsche, we imagine iconic shapes, engine sounds that sing the tune of passion and performance, and the feeling of exhilaration you feel when you sit behind the wheel of this legendary brand. However, as the saying goes, "The only constant in life is change." The Porsche Mission X is clearly proof that this adage also holds true for automotive stars.

On the eve of the opening of the exhibition '75 years of Porsche sports cars' in the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, a new icon was born – Porsche Mission X. On this day, the revolutionary Porsche concept was presented, which is not only technologically advanced, but also a tribute to legends such as Porsche 959, Carrera GT and 918 Spyder.

Porsche Mission X boasts an impressive electric powertrain and an interesting reinterpretation of the hypercar, with Le Mans-style doors that open up and forward. Along with its bold design and signature Porsche branding, this concept study promises to make the electric era for Porsche anything but boring. The question that arises is: "What will remain of the Porsche brand in the age of electricity?" The answer is simple: "Everything that is Porsche in heart and soul."

Length approx 4.5 meters and two meters wide and mixed tire sizes (20-inch front wheels and 21-inch rear wheels), the Mission X offers an excellent balance between aerodynamic efficiency and driving stability. The design is focused on reinterpreting the brand's classic elements, with a prominent glass dome roof and exposed aeroblades on the rear axle for better brake cooling.

But the most interesting is the technical vision Porsche Mission X: a high-performance electric motor drivetrain that not only enables an exceptional power-to-weight ratio, but also sets new milestones in aerodynamics and charging times.

Just as they are Porsche 959, Carrera GT and 918 Spyder set milestones in its time, the Porsche Mission X is also committed to maintaining the tradition. If words are to be believed Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Porsche AG, “brings together the past, present and future. Its boldness and innovation illustrate how the Porsche brand remains true to its heritage while constantly adapting to the changing automotive industry.”


As I mentioned before, change is the only constant. Although Porsche is going electric, it does not mean that he will lose his soul. Porsche Mission X is proof that the brand Porsche she remains true to herself, no matter what changes await her. I think that's the only thing Porsche fanatics really want to hear.
