Porsche introduces the Mission E concept for a full electric sportscar

[RedDevil]

Porsche joins the fun by showing their 600+ hp full electric sports car concept at the IAA in Frankfurt, according to their own website.

... the first 800-volt drive system. Key specification data of this fascinating sports car: four doors and four single seats, over 600 hp (440 kW) system power and over 500 km driving range. All-wheel drive and all-wheel steering, zero to 100 km/h acceleration in under 3.5 seconds and a charging time of around 15 minutes to reach an 80 per cent charge of electrical energy. Instruments are intuitively operated by eye-tracking and gesture control, some even via holograms – highly oriented toward the driver by automatically adjusting the displays to the driver's position.

Tesla take note...!
Game on

15 mins charge time? I can see the street lights dimming now.

That is what the 800 Volt is for, the higher the voltage the more power you can deliver with the same amps. Otherwise the charge cable gets too thick to handle.

Two hours of driving fast on the Autobahn, then a 15 minute charging break, then 2 hours of hard driving again gets you from Hamburg to München in one afternoon. You can't do that much faster in any other car. Even Tesla cannot match this.

It's gonna need Mercedes shape-shifting wheels to lower drag at speed.

The rear doors are suicidal?

The BMW i3 uses suicide doors too. I'll probably be picking up a used i3 in 2-3 years when the leased vehicles start coming back.

The Porche looks nice, but where is the price tag? I'm guessing it doesn't look too nice, so they didn't want to display it. I would be surprised if this even makes it into production.

Concept cars are priceless

This car is not about affordability. If it ever comes to market it aims for the group of buyers that would be put off if it were affordable.

This car shows that electric cars have reached the point where you can drive them all day, any way you want, without compromise. Save a quarter hour now and then.

Fifteen minutes is only a drink and a pack of chips longer than typical gasoline refill times.

Put it in my podunk dealers showroom in more than just white and I'll think about buying one.

Until then...........
