According to the representatives of Porsche Company, Mission E electric version will become a production model in 2020 year. The carmakers are working hard on the model; this is shown by the prototype, which is covered by a changed Panamera cover. The future novelty will get an original platform that was originally designed especially for an electrical car.

The EV testing variant was photographed near the Arctic Circle. The engineers want to make sure that their creation will be suitable for other roads in other cities as well as in California. Firstly, Porsche brand is known due to the petrol models where the hottest one is Macan SUV, ensured 40% of world sales in 2016. Therefore, it is most likely that Mission E will be the only electric version in a car’s line-up for a long time. It also should be noted that the EV’s concept could boast of the four-wheel drive, full controlled chassis with a traction vectoring as well as electric motors with a total capacity of more than 600 horsepower and the battery for 500 km distance. There is also one of the unusual features of the power plant; this is about a large charger’s flap located on the right front wing.

The car with a design for endurance racing, known as Porsche 911 RSR based on 991 generation was built in 2013. Not long ago, a 911 family has been updated. Now carmakers decided to change RSR racing version.
