00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:04.170
Porsche is celebrating their 75th
anniversary and just debuted one hell of a

2
00:00:04.170 --> 00:00:08.550
concept car. The Mission
X electric hypercar,

3
00:00:08.850 --> 00:00:12.330
and it looks stunning. And
yes, while it is a concept,

4
00:00:12.330 --> 00:00:15.750
Porsche did reveal on the press release
for the Mission X that a production run

5
00:00:15.840 --> 00:00:17.850
is being considered the Porsche mission.

6
00:00:17.850 --> 00:00:20.520
X is a technology beacon for
the sports car of the future.

7
00:00:20.880 --> 00:00:24.270
It picks up the torch of iconic
sports cars of decades past.

8
00:00:24.360 --> 00:00:27.120
And as far as hard numbers
go, there's not much. First,

9
00:00:27.120 --> 00:00:29.610
we see that Porsche wants to set
a new Nurburgring lap record,

10
00:00:29.940 --> 00:00:31.290
unofficially ff course.

11
00:00:31.290 --> 00:00:35.190
It should have a power to weight ratio
of around 2.2 pounds per horsepower

12
00:00:35.340 --> 00:00:39.300
and significantly more down force
than the current 911 GT3 Rs,

13
00:00:39.510 --> 00:00:44.220
which is 1,895 pounds at 177
miles per hour. Of course,

14
00:00:44.220 --> 00:00:47.280
there will be some people who will
bemoan the lack of a combustion engine in

15
00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:48.600
this latest hypercar concept.

16
00:00:48.690 --> 00:00:51.420
But given just how good the
normal Taycan is to drive fast,

17
00:00:51.720 --> 00:00:54.560
the Mission X should it go to
production should be relentlessly fast.

00:00:55.830 --> 00:00:59.250
