Porsche Mission E: Is This It?
Take away all the camo and concept car glam, and this could very well be the production ready Mission E!
By now, we know pretty much everything there is to know about Porsche’s first fully-electric vehicle, the Mission E. But what we don’t know is exactly what it’s going to look like. Sure, we’ve been able to lay eyes on the concept for a couple of years now. And we’ve seen a number of test mules out and about on public streets and the Nürburgring. But the production version will vary from the original concept, and the mules carry heavy camouflage. So we took everything we know about the Mission E and had our resident artist whip up a rendering.
The result of which looks like a very much production ready vehicle. Of course, we know that certain styling elements will carry over, like the quad LED headlights and singular taillight strip. The iconic overall Porsche shape will also make it to production, as will the fender-mounted charging port. The differences here are subtle, yet mirror what we can derive from the test car images.
The look is, well, a little less futuristic and a little more Panamera. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing, though some were disappointed by this fact. The Mission E still stands out, styling wise, and will certainly draw attention everywhere it goes. And since we left on the “fake” tailpipes present on the Mission E mules, onlookers might also have a hard time figuring out what it is, too!
If Porsche’s test mules are indeed close to production ready in appearance, we’re confident that these renderings will prove to be accurate. Well, maybe minus the tailpipes. And we’re personally OK with that, because this is one stunning car. Above all, no one will mistake the Mission E for anything but a Porsche. No matter what the finished product winds up being.
