Thrillingly different yet reassuringly familiar—that is precisely what the car should look like. Every inch and every radius should trigger the feeling and the thought that “this can only be a Porsche.” The sculpted lines of a sports sedan with a low-slung 51.1-inch roofline combined with the qualities of a sports car from Zuffenhausen.
And then there are the evident innovations such as the integrated aerodynamics. Distinctive air intakes and outlets on the front, sides, and rear showcase the body’s comprehensive flow-through design. After all, even an electric car needs intelligent cooling for its motors, battery, and electronics. Integrated channels enhance the air flow around its wheels, while outlets on the sides play their part in helping to reduce excess pressure in the wheel arches and thus the risk of lift. Once again, form follows function—a principle with a long tradition at Porsche.
The classic elements of the Mission E clearly evoke its iconic heritage. The arrow-like front is reminiscent of the 918 Spyder, interwoven with the lines of famous race cars. Distinctive front fenders and extremely flat hood lines and side windows show the genes shared with the 911. As on the 911 GT3 RS, a pronounced, broad recess runs from the overlapping front hood up and over the roof. In a word—familiarity.
And now for the thrilling part. Innovative matrix LED headlights with the brand’s characteristic four-point design hover within the air intakes. The four points surround a flat sensor used for driver assistance systems, with a border that serves as a turn signal. The flow of surfaces is not disturbed by side mirrors; instead, cameras are mounted discreetly on the sides. The future beckons. Even the handles on the rear-hinged doors are seamlessly integrated into the outer shell. A continuous arc of red light connects the broad rear fenders, with a back-lit Porsche insignia located below it in black glass.
