Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo Concept
Spark for the future: with the Mission E Cross Turismo, Porsche unveiled the concept study of an electrically driven cross utility vehicle (CUV) at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. The strengths of the four-door Cross Turismo include an emotional design with striking off-road elements as well as an innovative display and operating concept with touchscreen and eye-tracking control. Measuring 4.95 metres in length, the concept vehicle has all-wheel drive and an 800-volt architecture, prepared for connection to the fast charging network. It can also be charged by induction, at a charging station or using the Porsche home energy storage system.

Two permanent magnet synchronous motors (PSM) with a system output of more than 600 hp (440 kW) allow the Mission E Cross Turismo to accelerate to 100 km/h in less than 3.5 seconds and to reach a speed of 200 km/h in under 12 seconds. Furthermore, the level of continuous power is unmatched by any other electric vehicle: multiple accelerations are possible in direct succession without loss of performance.
'The Mission E Cross Turismo is an expression of how we envision the all-electric future. It combines sportiness and everyday practicality in unique style. Our vehicle will be fast to drive, but also quick to recharge and able to replicate its performance time after time,' says Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche AG. The Mission E Cross Turismo, which is already fit for the road, builds on the concept of the Mission E study presented by Porsche at the 2015 International Motor Show (IAA). The series-produced car based on this model will celebrate its premiere in 2019.

Cross Turismo previews Porsche's future, but which part?
Porsche unveiled an electric concept car called the Mission E Cross Turismo at this week's Geneva Motor Show, but we're unsure if the vehicle is foreshadowing the brand's nearly road-ready EV platform, a more rugged version of the recently-launched Panamera Sport Turismo, or perhaps a bit of both.
While the new concept looks nearly identical to the Sport Turismo but with a beefed-up suspension and 'crossified' look, its mechanicals are quite similar to the Mission E sedan first shown in Frankfurt three years ago. This means two electric motors driving all four wheels with a total output of 440kW, and a quoted 0-100km/h in less than 3.5 seconds.
As is the recent trend with makers of electric vehicles, Porsche has resisted claiming a maximum battery-powered range, but said that the Cross Turismo can be fast-charged for a range of around 400km in 15 minutes. Theoretically its max range on a fully topped up battery should be well in excess of this.
Like the Porsche Sport Turismo for sale in dealerships now, the Cross Turismo is a four-door four-seater with a large wagon-like load bay. It also gets a similar rail system for securing items in the boot, and the second seating row flips down to expand cargo capacity, but the centre sections of the backrests in the rear seats also open up to allow through-loading of long objects.
Up front there's a super-wide digital instrument cluster that extends all the way to the passenger's side of the dashboard. For the driver there are three circular binnacles for Porsche Connect, performance, drive, energy and Sport Chrono functions, but an eye-tracking sensor in the rear view mirror will detect which of these a driver is looking at and call up extended menus for each automatically. The same happens on the passenger side, but for multimedia, navigation and climate control functionality.
Porsche has already confirmed that a road-going version of its Mission E electric sedan will be launched sometime next year, but we suspect a higher-riding crossover version of the petrol-powered Panamera Sport Turismo, likely to mimic this design, will be announced before that.

Porsche Taycan name confirmed for production version of Mission E
Porsche's all-electric rival to the Tesla Model S is scheduled to go on sale in 2019 and will spawn multiple variants
Porsche Taycan will be the name for the firm's first all-electric car. It had previously been unveiled as the Porsche Mission E in concept form.
The name, confirmed by the firm's CEO Oliver Blume as part of Porsche's 70th anniversary celebrations, is said to translate loosely as "lively, young horse" from a Eurasian dialect- a nod to the firm's crest, which has featured a leaping horse since 1952.
The news follows the release of the the first official drive footage of the Taycan last month, which showed the electric sports car being driven at pace by Mark Webber around the brand's Weissach test track.
In the video, the Formula 1 race winner and 2015 World Endurance Champion demonstrates the all-electric car's agility and traction on the technical layout, stating that it's a "game changer".
Webber also announces that the car has "600hp", which equates to 592bhp, confirming speculation that its lithium ion battery pack-powered dual electric motor architecture will rank the Mission E second only to the 911 GT2 RS for power.
This output should give the car, which Webber admits is "heavier" than a standard Porsche due to its electric powertrain, a 0-62mph time of around three and a half seconds. It is expected to have a range of at least 300 miles.
Although it's not due for reveal until 2019, ahead of arriving in showrooms in 2020, Porsche has already racked up thousands of test miles in mules that appear to be further advanced than regular cars at this stage of their development process.
With new so-called J1 architecture that will enable fast-charging to 80% in just 15 minutes, the Taycan will reach the market with one of the most high-tech powertrains used on an electric car yet. The brand's first EV will feature 800V charging technology that is intended to future-proof the car for several years after it hits the market.
The Taycan's four-seat interior suggests it will be more closely aligned, in terms of character, with the Panamera than pure sports cars such as the 911. But the Taycan's floor-mounted batteries should give it an extremely low centre of gravity to allow for hunkered-down handling that's comparable with more focused performance machines.
The central location of the batteries and twin-motor set-up will also give the car's technical architecture a better front-rear weight balance than combustion-engined cars, potentially allowing Porsche's engineers to soften the car's anti-roll bars to aid ride without hindering handling.
The most recently photographed test car was being towed by a Cayenne. Bbreakdowns are common during early phases of testing. Some of the spotted cars have been wearing exhaust exit surrounds that were fake and fitted to conceal the car's identity. A panel of autonomous sensors has also been seen in the car's nose, nestled between what appear to be two sets of louvres in the lower grille. These can be opened to allow battery and brake cooling.
The development for the car is headed by Stefan Weckbach, who previously led product strategy and more recently was responsible for the development of the Boxster.
The future Tesla Model S rival's J1 structure is one of three new electric car platforms being developed within Porsche's parent company, the Volkswagen Group. The J1 structure is described as being different in construction to the C-BEV platform planned to underpin sister brand Audi’s forthcoming E-tron SUV, which is due for reveal later this year.

This name’s Taycan: Porsche names electric sedan
Porsche has now given an official name to its upcoming electric sedan that has until now been known as the ‘Mission E’.
The Tesla-chasing electric sedan will be named Taycan, according to Porsche, and it’s set to go into production next year.
The name essentially means “lively young horse”, referencing the image in Porsche’s own crest and Porsche board chairman Oliver Blume explains it like this:
“Our new electric sports car is strong and dependable; it’s a vehicle that can consistently cover long distances and that epitomises freedom.”
On that note, Porsche is aiming for a range of over 500km between charges, and there are some serious performance claims too.
Porsche reckons the car’s two electric motors will produce a system output of over 447kW, and accelerate the sedan from zero to 100km/h in under 3.5 seconds.
The Taycan is just one part of Porsche’s future electrification strategy, to which it is investing over 6 billion euros (around R92bn) between now and 2022. This also includes the creation of hybrid and electric versions of existing products in the Porsche portfolio.

Porsche Mission R Concept
With the Mission E (2015) and Mission E Cross Turismo (2018), Porsche presented unmistakeable previews of its first all-electric sports car model series to come. Both visually and technologically, the Porsche Taycan sports saloon (2019) and the Taycan Cross Turismo cross-utility vehicle (2021) closely resembled the two concept studies and have since been launched successfully on the world markets - mission accomplished in other words. The next vision has now arrived with the Porsche Mission R: with this study of an all-electric GT racing car, the pioneer of sustainable mobility is revealing what customer motorsports could look like in the future."Porsche is the brand for people who fulfil their dreams. This is also true in motorsports. We experience our innovative strength on the race track, demonstrate courage in pursuing new avenues and delight car owners with sporting performance," says Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG. "In addition to our involvement in the Formula E World Championship, we are now taking the next big step forward in electric mobility. The concept study is our vision of all-electric customer motorsports. The Mission R embodies everything that makes Porsche strong: performance, design and sustainability."

Behold: the Porsche Mission R
It might be a 1,073bhp concept for now, but Porsche will "find a way to realise a car such as this"Porsche is planning on its own customer electric race series from 2025. And this is the concept for the car: the Mission R. Well, you might have expected as much from the makers of the Taycan, competitor in Formula E and LMP1 hybrids.
The Mission R makes no excuses. No need for short races, or battery swaps. They say it'll do the equivalent length race to a 911 Carrera Cup round, which is 30 or 40 minutes depending on the type of circuit. And the lap times will be faster, matching the current 911 GT3 Cup.
They won't spend long plugged-in in the pitlane. Battery recharge time to 80 per cent is just 15 minutes, using a special 350kW charge unit each team would take to the track. That's basically a second huge battery. The car equivalent of a mobile phone power bank, if you like.

Porsche Reveal Mission R Concept Study Race Car Packing 1,073 HP (800 KW)
Porsche is showing no sign of slowing down on their electrifying drive and have now shown their first EV race car. The Mission R concept is Porsche’s vision for a future zero-emissions race car built from sustainable materials and offering track performance that rivals its most powerful and best prepped combustion-powered competitors.
The Concept is powered by new generation motors which deliver a peak output of 1,073 hp (800 kW) in a mode they call qualification mode. With power being sent to all four wheels, it can sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds and run to a top speed of 300 km/h (186 mph). On the track, the Mission R is said to match the performance of a 911 GT3 Cup car.
Unlike the Taycan, the Mission R features a single gear, because the use of rolling start in most privateer-level racing events removes the need to optimise acceleration from a standstill. There is also an F1-style Drag Reduction System to reduce downforce, although because the car is intended for customer racing Porsche has twinned it with a two-stage rear wing and adjusting flaps on the front wing that help to balance the stability of the car to make it easier for amateur drivers to control.

Porsche Mission R concept gives 1073bhp taste of Cayman EV
Electric customer racer set to arrive in 2025, but gives strong hints to the electric Cayman road carThe new Porsche Mission R concept previews an electric one-make racing car that could debut in 2025 – and also gives strong hints as to the styling of the forthcoming electric 718 Cayman.
The new machine is a joint development of Porsche Motorsport and the Porsche Style design studio. Matthias Scholz, Porsche Motorsport’s GT race car chief, described the machine as “a pure race car, showing an idea of how a customer race car could be.”
Shown in Munich, it utilises powertrain technology from the Taycan, and has been developed to offer performance between a 911 GT3 Cup and GT3 R. The twin motor set-up features two settings, with the 603bhp available in standard mode raised to 1073bhp for the special qualifying mode. The front motor produces up to 429bhp, with the rear producing 644bhp. Porsche says that the Mission R has a top speed of 186mph, and can achieve the 0-62mph sprint in less than 2.5 secons.

Porsche Mission R concept study breaks cover as track EV with 800 kW
The Porsche Mission R concept study has been unveiled at this year’s IAA as a show of dedication to electric mobility from the German manufacturer. The new concept combines state-of-the-art technologies and sustainable materials, such as natural fibre-reinforced plastics, with a passion for racing.
Powering the Porsche Mission R concept study are two newly developed electric motors that deliver 800 kW to both axles when in “qualifying mode”. This system sources power from an 80 kWh battery with an innovative recuperation system that could make sprint racing possible with no loss of power output.
With this system, the Porsche Mission R concept study claims to accelerate from 0s100 km/h in 2,5 seconds and reach a top speed of over 300 km/h. On the race track, the electric study achieves the same lap time performance as the current Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
