Porsche Mission S: supercar possible from 2029

New model line above the 911

Porsche has shown the Mission S as a study for a future mid-engine supercar. The model is intended not merely to preview a one-off in the tradition of the Carrera GT and 918 Spyder, but to establish an independent model line above the 911. A production model could come to market in 2029 at the earliest; by then the name is unlikely to be Mission S and could begin with a 9.

Powertrain still open

Porsche has so far provided only a few concrete technical details. According to the report, a purely electric drive is not the focus; instead, the platform is considered open to several solutions. Plug-in hybrid and full-hybrid concepts are described as conceivable. Rumors point to an eight-cylinder boxer engine that could sit behind the cabin and ahead of the rear axle module. During its public appearance, the study rolled onto the stage under combustion-engine power.

Design with Porsche references

The Mission S picks up several historic Porsche themes. The front recalls the Carrera GT and 911 GT1, while the rear with split lights and lettering evokes the 928. The wheels with a dial-style look and the radial fan above the engine bay also refer to earlier models, especially the 917 from the Le Mans era. Whether the fan wheel will have a functional role in a later production car remains open.

Inside, Porsche also uses classic elements: five round instruments with a central tachometer, a selector lever and a real ignition key to the left of the steering wheel. Depending on the configuration, the lever could operate a PDK or a manual transmission. The study does not show a large central screen; instead, there is a smartphone holder that could take over functions such as CarPlay Plus when needed. Around half a million euros or dollars is being mentioned as a possible price target, but that figure is not confirmed.
