Hui, what kind of devil guys and devil girls (is that how you say it?) At Porsche. Have you just discovered the as yet unoccupied segment of electrically powered racing cars with a panoramic roof? They want to occupy it as soon as possible and show what it could look like with the Mission R. Serious? Hm, apart from the part with the panorama roof, actually. Although there are actually transparent segments between the carbon fiber elements in the roof – but rather to show the special, integrated roll cage design particularly vividly.
Otherwise: racing cars. Purely electric. Yes, that would be a good thing, they find in Zuffenhausen. And leave us behind the wheel of the Mission R, which grabs you with its soundscape from the very first few meters. Artificially generated? Pah! Really. Mixed together from the noises of the two straight-toothed input gears connected to the motors and the two oil-cooled, permanent magnet synchronous machines. They just produce 800 kW, i.e. 1088 PS in the old currency, possibly a little more, because in the age of electromobility, power seems to be available practically at any time. In any case, the front unit contributes 320 kW at full escalation, the rear 480 kW, both connected by a thick orange cable that runs somewhere next to me in the depths of the wildly winged single piece. The manufacturer puts the continuous system output in racing at 500 kW.
Into the limiter in 2.5 seconds
Yes, Porsche actually releases the driver’s seat of the handcrafted show car, and also provides a not so trivial layout of the hand links course at the in-house Experience Center in Los Angeles. Because the unique piece doesn’t like rain. And that is rare in this region. So the Mission R howls wildly, allegedly in 2.5 seconds from zero to 100 km / h, which cannot be proven at the moment, on the other hand, whether the whole bag full of G-forces that are now pressing on the stomach, may not be doubted.

Spoiler, diffuser, light bar … what more does a rear end need?
