Porsche Mission S Aims to Reinterpret the Supercar for the Future: Mid-Engine, Fewer Screens, ICE
Porsche says the production model will use internal combustion and sit above the 911 as a permanent lineup fixture, with a price near $500,000 unconfirmed.
- On Thursday, Porsche unveiled the Mission concept in New York City, previewing a new mid-engine supercar that will permanently sit above the 911 in the lineup.
- Porsche Chairman Michael Leiters said the Mission is a "forward-looking vision model" representing a permanent, versatile addition to the customer offering rather than a limited-run hypercar.
- Inspired by the 917, designers created a cooling system with a radiator fan, while the interior features a "symbiosis of analogue and digital controls" using a retractable MagSafe-compatible smartphone holder.

- Design elements from the Mission will be incorporated into upcoming models, particularly the 718, as Porsche pursues a financially successful future with driving-focused vehicles.
