Description[]
"A hypercar concept to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Porsche."
June 1948, the first ever car to bear the Porsche name, the 356 ‘No. 1’ Roadster is approved, setting in motion the rise of one of the greatest sports car brands in history. 75 years later on the same date in 2023, the company unveiled a new concept, an interpretation of a possible future of sports car technology that takes inspiration from Porsche’s numerous classic car legends. This concept is known as the Mission X.
The two-seater fully electric concept of a hypercar is actually relatively compact, at only 4,500 mm long and 2,000 mm wide. Measuring just under 1,200 mm tall, the low-slung design features an almost sculptural form with bold lines, which goes to show that a hypercar doesn’t necessarily need to look hyper-aggressive. Within each area of the exterior lives the motifs of historic racing cars. The headlights are a reinterpretation of the quad lights that adorned cars like the 906 and 908, while the doors use the same upward opening motion as the legendary 917 endurance car. Moving to the rear, an illuminated clear ‘Porsche’ logo sits in the centre of the light units which extend out from the side of the body. Looking carefully, the Porsche emblems on the bonnet and steering wheel feature an updated, more modern interpretation of the classic logo. The interior expresses a strong affinity with motorsports. The steering wheel uses an open yoke style design, fitted with paddle shifters and several mode switches. The passenger seat can be fitted with a stopwatch module created by Porsche Design, featuring both analog and digital timers. Additionally, the driver can press the record button on the multi-purpose controller at any time to begin recording video footage from the numerous cameras installed across the car.
The Mission X has the potential to be crowned the fastest road-legal car on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, a theory that can be put to the test in Gran Turismo 7. It has a power-to-weight ratio of over one PS per kilogram and is able to create considerably more downforce than even the current 911 GT3 RS. The concept also features radical charging capabilities. With a 900 V system architecture, charging speeds are greatly improved, allowing it to hypothetically charge around twice as fast as Porsche’s current front-runner EV, the Taycan Turbo S.
Brand Central[]
A shift from combustion to electricity-based power units has not marked the end of the sports car. No car proves this fact more than the Mission X, a fully electric concept from Porsche. You might even say that it is a technology beacon for the sports car of the future. It serves as an homage to the great Porsche cars of the past, while representing a technological breakthrough for the future. The fastest road-car to conquer the Nürburgring's famous Nordschleife loop, the Mission X is an ambitious automobile that pushes the limits if possibility. It follows in the footsteps of the 917 Living Legend, Porsche Vision Gran Turismo and Porsche Vision Gran Turismo Spyder.

Trivia[]
- The car's inclusion in Gran Turismo 7 was commemorated with a short trailer, released simultaneously with Update 1.54.
- This is the second non-Vision Gran Turismo Porsche concept to be featured in the series, and the first one that isn't part of the Porsche Unseen book.
- Despite being implied to have four electric motors, its RR drivetrain may suggest otherwise.
- As it was stated to have a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio, this could imply that the car weighs 1,341 kg (2,956 lb). However, in the Select by Weight filter, the car is placed in the 3500-3599 lbs/1500-1599 kg class.
