Porsche is well known as a brand of high-performance
four-wheel vehicles. A number of studies proved that Porsche cars were very
reliable and durable, 97.4 percent of Porsche cars which were purchased within
a period of 25 years were still roadworthy.
Porsche is quite ambitious; it intends to win the title
which was once held by the Tesla Roadster - the first true electric sportscar.
Bringing futuristic theme both on outside look and advanced technology inside,
the manufacturer from Stuttgart introduces a concept vehicle named Porsche Mission E. And certainly this car is equipped with a variety of advanced
capabilities.
Usually the appearances of Porsche cars have a common thread
with the previous variants. Interestingly, Mission E looks away from the basic
design that's pioneered by Ferdinand Porsche. This car has sexy curves; the
Matrix LED lights on the front look like the alien eyes, these lights have four
separate modules that adorn the curved corners.
Porsche explains that the design of Mission E is inspired by
the Porsche 918 Spyder. At the rear, there is a long line of lights in a black
glass finish. You may wonder about the existence of Mission E's rearview
mirrors. Porsche uses the technology of virtual mirror, and the camera system
works in real-time to 'reflect' the image around, shown at the end of bottom
glass. This step is done to improve the aerodynamics aspect.
Mission E doesn't have B-pillar, the front and rear doors
are opened in the opposite direction. Furthermore, the panel instruments are
designed without corners. The display utilizes OLED and the driver can
customize it. You are welcome to access the functions of Porsche Connect,
Performance, Drive, Energy and Sport Chrono. Amazingly, the menu navigation is
supported by eye-tracking technology.
This futuristic vehicle is armed with two electric motors,
not much different from the 919 Hybrid 440kW, the winner of last year Le Mans,
it's able to generate power up to 600HP. The machines ensure the Mission E can
accelerate from 0 to 100km per hour in less than 3.5 seconds, and then bring it
to 200km per hour in 12 seconds.
Remarkably, Mission E only takes 15 minutes to charge 80% of
the battery. When fully charged, the car is able to run up to 500 kilometers. If
the Mission E project is really realized, at least the car will be released in
2019.
