The Porsche Mission S has been unveiled as a stunning mid-engine concept to showcase the design and engineering direction of the Stuttgart-based automaker's future flagship.

Stuttgart has always sought to create a place beyond its usual symbol, the 911. The official unveiling in New York shows that the Germans have taken a new approach by abandoning the previous plans. Porsche executives have confirmed that the development of the production platform for this new supercar has already begun.

Porsche Mission S returns to the original roots of design

The design language of this car was formed under the supervision of Tobias Zollman in just 8 months. The appearance of the body bears obvious signs of legendary models such as Carrera GT, Porsche 911 GT1 and even the roof of the Porsche 959. Torpedo fenders are located in the front above the hood to increase the driver's control over the wheel position. At the rear, the aggressive diffuser, movable wing and narrow two-piece headlights along with the cooling fan inspired by the 917 attract attention.

The interior of the Porsche Mission S cabin is inspired by the classic 356 and 550 Spyder models and is completely minimal and focused on the driver. The panel in front of the driver consists of five circular amps with a central analog odometer, the arrangement of which changes based on the driving mode. In this section, the central touch screen is not seen and the driver can connect his smartphone to the holder base.

Gasoline and hybrid engines without electric versions

Unlike the Mission X electric concept, which was canceled due to low market demand, the new model will be developed based on a flexible structure for internal combustion and hybrid engines. Michael Leiters has confirmed that there will be no all-electric version for this exclusive platform. Porsche is moving towards a two-to-one combination of internal combustion models over electric ones and prioritizing gasoline engines in flagship categories. Possible options for this supercar will include an eight-cylinder V8 engine and a flat eight-cylinder engine.
