Mission S: Neue Studie stimmt auf neuen Supersportwagen von Porsche ein
Darauf haben die Petrolheads unter den Porsche-Kunden lange gewartet: Die Stuttgarter bauen einen neuen Sportwagen und siedeln den ganz oben an. Dummerweise gibt's erst mal nur eine Studie.
Porsche, after the success of the Macan and Cayenne SUVs, is now focusing on the essential aspects and has announced a new super sports car called Mission S. This marks the first time a Stuttgart-based manufacturer has unveiled a new super sports vehicle since the 550 Spyder, which began its reign over 70 years ago. The Mission S is positioned above the 911 in Porsche's lineup, although official details remain scarce.
Sources suggest a price tag of around 500,000 Euros and a potential market launch towards the end of the decade.
The new Mission S is built upon a novel central rear-engine platform, which may also serve as the foundation for other derivatives and possibly other marquees within the Porsche group. Design chief Tobias Sühlmann has aimed for a forward-looking aesthetic, drawing stylistic cues from iconic Porsche models like the 959 and Carrera GT.
Inside, the two-seater is expected to bridge the gap between the high-performance Mission S and the compact 550 Spyder and 356, eschewing large digital screens in favor of an unusual analog design language.
Though Porsche has not yet revealed specifics about the powertrain, rumors point to a central rear-mounted engine, either six or eight cylinders. There's also speculation about a plug-in hybrid system capable of propelling the car past 350 km/h. However, an all-electric variant seems unlikely at this stage. Four prominent exhaust pipes belch from the rear of the Mission S study, a clear nod to its intended performance capabilities.
