The Mission R reaches the performance level of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
The flat, all-electric Mission R competition car features new design influences as well as the characteristic lines of the sports cars from Zuffenhausen. The newly developed electric motors deliver up to 800 kW (1088 hp) in qualifying mode.
The battery capacity of around 80 kWh and the ingenious recuperation system enable sprint races without any loss of power.
Next big step in electromobility
Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG: "In addition to our involvement in the Formula E World Championship, we are now taking the next big step in electromobility. The concept study is our vision of all-electric customer motorsport."
Over 30 brand trophies regularly on the starting grid worldwide
Customer motorsport enjoys a high priority at Porsche. Since the start of the Porsche Carrera Cup Germany 31 years ago, the sports car manufacturer has produced and delivered more than 4,400 units of the Cup cars. Worldwide, 30 one-make cups are held on the basis of these racing cars.
The all-wheel drive Mission R accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of more than 300 km/h. On the racetrack, it achieves the same lap times as the current 911 GT3 Cup.
Thanks to newly designed electric motors and battery cells, the concept study provides a constant output of 500 kW (680 hp) in race mode - without any loss of battery power due to thermal conditions.
Body made from natural fiber-reinforced plastic
Thanks to 900-volt technology and Porsche Turbo Charging, the battery only needs a 15-minute break from racing to be charged from five to 80 percent. Charging can take place at up to 340 kW.
With the Mission R project, Porsche is bringing real and virtual racing closer together than ever before, as the modular monocoque driver's cell is also suitable as an e-sports simulator in the same design.
The body of the Mission R is largely made of natural fiber-reinforced plastic, and the carbon fiber composite safety structure combines high protection potential with low weight. The vehicle measures 4326 millimetres in length, 1990 millimetres in width and 1190 millimetres in height.
