This is it people, Porsche has built the Tesla rival we all have been hearing about for the past few months. And what a car it is.
The key figures are: over 600hp, over 500km of driving range, 0-100km/h in under 3.5 seconds and a mind-blowing charging time of 15 minutes to reach a claimed 80 per cent charge. The power goes to all four wheels while there is also an all-wheel steering function.
Porsche has developed the electric drivetrain using their expertise in motorsport and the 919 Hybrid racing program. The Mission E uses two electric motors, similar to those used by the endurance racer, which produce ‘over 600hp’ and allow the all-electric concept to sprint to 200km/h (124mph) in under 12 seconds which is a very serious claim. The all-wheel drive system features Porsche’s Torque Vectoring which distributes the torque individually to the wheels and combined with the all-wheel steering, Porsche says that the Mission E is ‘fit for the circuit race track’. They also say that their new all-electric toy is capable of lapping the Nürburgring Nordschleife under the eight-minute mark.
