P
orsche’s first all-electric four-seat sports
car has made its debut at the 2015 IAA
in Frankfurt. The luxury brand’s Mission
E concept vehicle features an 800-volt
drive system with more than 600 hp
for the ultimate in performance.
With all-wheel drive and steering, the
Porsche concept will be able to speed
from zero to 62 mph in just under 3.5
seconds.
The lithium-ion battery only takes 15 minutes to charge and
is conveniently mounted in the car’s underbody. Because of
the battery’s updated technology, it runs the length
between the front and rear axles so the weight is
distributed evenly.
A new front-end sports reduced sculpting
reminiscent of the 918 Spyder, while the interior
is just as alluring with race bucket seats, a curved
center console, and technological advancements.
Drivers will enjoy eye tracking and gesture control
for easy use of tech, navigation, and additional
features.
Although a threat to Tesla’s super-powered
reputation, it’s quite a bit slower than the Model S’s
Ludicrous Mode, which can reach 60 mph in only
2.8 seconds. Tesla is ahead for now, but expect the
Germans—with their meticulous engineering—to
give it a run for its money.
