The Future of Porsche: Mission X Supercar’s 2024 Verdict

Porsche teases the electric Mission X’s potential production in 2024, promising an electrifying future with heritage-inspired performance and innovation.

Porsche is on the verge of making a pivotal decision in 2024 about moving forward with a new supercar, spurred by the positive reception to the Mission X concept unveiled during their 75th anniversary in 2023. This electric supercar concept could potentially join the prestigious ranks of Porsche’s supercar lineage, alongside icons like the 959, Carrera GT, and 918 Spyder, if it gets the green light for production.

CEO Oliver Blume has hinted at the favorable odds for the Mission X’s production, bolstered by the enthusiastic feedback from its debut. The concept has intrigued many with its dimensions, innovative design, and performance potential, including a remarkable power-to-weight ratio and advanced aerodynamics surpassing even the 911 GT3 RS. Additionally, its charging capabilities are set to outpace the current Taycan Turbo S, indicating a significant leap in electric vehicle technology.

Speculation around the Mission X’s performance figures suggests a horsepower range that could rival the most potent supercars, with an all-wheel-drive system expected through at least two motors. This potential powerhouse could aim to set records at the Nürburgring, challenging the current fastest road-legal production car title.

The production, if confirmed, is anticipated to be exclusive, with a limited number of units that might sell out before they even debut, mirroring the exclusivity of Porsche’s previous supercar releases. The timeline for customer deliveries, should the project proceed, points to no earlier than 2026, maintaining the suspense around this highly anticipated supercar’s final specifications and production details.
