PORSCHE is applying the finishing touches to the most radical model in its 87-year history. The Mission E will be the German brand’s first fully electric production vehicle and spearhead a commitment to electrification that will see a range of plug-in hybrid models and additional all-electric vehicles launched in the future.
Porsche first signalled its intent to build a fully electric vehicle with the Mission E concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show back in 2015. The production model, which will get a new name over the concept, will be shown early next year ahead of first customers taking delivery at the end of 2019.
Prototypes of the electric saloon disguised as Panameras have been undergoing development testing for several months. Although the Mission E shares a similar silhouette to the Panamera saloon, the Tesla Model S rival will be more compact and cheaper; entry-level versions priced between £60,000 and £70,000 mean it will carry only a small premium over its main rival.
