Porsche Mission X: The quickest road-legal car in the WORLD!

Meet Porsche’s all-new all-electric hypercar!

This is the Mission X. It’s Porsche’s first hypercar since the 918 Spyder, and it’s got some pretty lofty ambitions! Porsche is hoping the Mission X will set the record as the fastest road-legal car to complete a lap on the Nürburgring!

So let’s take a closer look at this incredible EV. Starting with the looks, this is easily one of the most subtle hypercars we’ve ever seen. Porsche wants to show that hypercars don’t just have to look aggressive, and can still hit incredible speeds without being plastered in huge aero. Up front, the most notable design feature is the vertical bars that’ll make up the headlights and indicators. Along the side, it’s easy to see how the Mission X has been inspired by the 963 racing car, as it’s very low and very long. Take a step around the back and the rear end is dominated by an absolutely huge diffuser, which will help the Mission X create more downforce than the new GT3 RS!

If anything, the interior of the Mission X is wilder than the exterior! The bucket seats look futuristic and properly figure-hugging, while the steering wheel makes Tesla’s yoke look prehistoric, coming plastered with a number of buttons and dials. We’re not so sure about the white handles though - they just scream dirt magnets to us! Thankfully though Porsche has kept up with some traditions - you’ll still find an analogue stopwatch up on the dash!

When it comes to performance stats… Well, Porsche hasn’t revealed them yet. But one thing we do know is it’ll have a power-to-weight ratio of 1,000hp per tonne. So all we know is, it’s likely to spill over to around 1,300hp+! But then again, it’ll need to if it’s going to beat the Nürburgring lap record currently held by the AMG ONE!

So what do you think - would you pick this over the AMG ONE? And could it beat the Nürburgring lap record? Stick with Mat and take a closer look for yourself!

Porsche Mission X vs Mercedes-AMG ONE: Which is better?

[DanHall]

918 has to be one of the most beautiful timeless cars ever built

[brentwells]

Making the aero covers clear is a genius design element! I didn’t even notice them until he mentioned it had them. Amazing design from Porsche as always .

[TheHunter]

It definitely looks exciting, I definitely have to say I was hoping for one more Porsche supercar that had an ICE engine/hybrid before they went fully electric

[andreassonne]

The 918 Spyder has a naturally aspirated 4.6 L V8 engine, not a twin-turbo V8 👍🏻

[qkhuve]

The Koenigsegg Josko non-Absolute is an absolute downforce-monster and has similar power to weight as the Absolute sooo that might be crushing as well :3

[j.d.]

I love how all these cool companies keep one-upping each other so frequently now.

[balajibharatwaj]

Just a correction, the Porsche 918 Spyder doesn’t have a twin turbo V8, it has a naturally aspirated race car derived V8

[mrTiberiuDubau]

the way Matt says "bolide" is killing me 😄

[ShashankB]

918 deserved a hybrid successor..as great as a car this might be I’m heartbroken there is no hybrid hypercar to succeed the 918 💔

[OscarZheng]

I wish the headlights were designed like the porsche 963's, horizontally. it makes the car look more elegant and sleek while the mission x's headlight design looks like it drew inspiration from Cadillac :/

[ajfreshkid]

Showed the Gemera when talking about crazy aero on hypercars when they shouldve shown the Jesko Attack, then later snubs it again when saying the Bolide is the only car that can compete on a track after just saying the Jesko Absolut has a high power to weight 🤔

[leoac]

Uhhh... That diffuser has a GRILL at the kick point. Even if it didn't, the diffuser is so aggressive that there is a zero chance of flow remaining attached.

[thejoshi]

No word about the obvious direct competitors to this car? Lotus Evija, Rimac Nevera, Pininfarina Battista…

[chain]

Electric? glad you mentioned that towards the end.... or i would have gone to one of your other videos sooner!

[amaljoe]

My mother who is not at all interested in cars - saw that white 959 image - stopped her conversation and exclaimed what a beautiful car 😂

[florianj]

This comes as a surprise! Absolute madness, I hadn't expected that. This car, if it is produced, will probably absolutely once and will destroy everything in a carwow drag race. I'm absolutely sure of that - it's a Porsche!

[AK-xjlg]

There can be no word like "Bugatti Killer"
Bugattis are incomparable.

[entyen]

Considering Porsche is experimenting with the Taycan 1000HP+, the Mission X will be even crazier!

I like more the 919 street. Looks more like a Porsche, and it would have an ICE engine 🫡
