Porsche set to displace Tesla rival supercar with Mission E (Photos)

Porsche first revealed its plans to release a Tesla rival sports car back in 2015, and we can now reveal that it is likely to release three electric all-wheel-drive versions as early as 2019. According to the automobile, the German-automaker will launch three ‘Mission E‘ derivatives with 300 kW (402 hp), 400 kW (536 hp) and 500 kW (670 hp). It will feature a two-speed transmission and reach 0 to 60 mph in 3.5 seconds, with a maximum speed of 155 mph (249 km/h).

Porsche all-electric ‘Mission E’ will boast an acceleration time of just 3.5 seconds from 0 to 60 mph, which is a full second slower than the quickest tesla ‘model S’ currently on the market. the four-seater will feature inductive charging (without a cable) and it could reportedly charge to 80 percent in just 20 minutes. Details have yet to be revealed on exterior styling, however, dimensions-wise it appears to be similar to the German automaker’s ‘Panamera‘ sports car, with an elongated profile to accommodate two passengers in the rear. Back seat occupants can enter through rear-hinged coach doors, opening up to create a dramatic passageway to its luxurious interior.
