Porsche Mission S: Porsche Just Broke a 60-Year Rule

For 60 years, nothing permanent sat above the Porsche 911. The Porsche Mission S just changed that, and it isn't electric. Three years after showing off the Mission X electric hypercar, Porsche walked away from it, and it still won't say what powers its new flagship. I break down the flat-eight engine rumor, why Porsche dropped electric, the screen-free interior, and where this car fits against Ferrari and Lamborghini. Confirmed vs. rumor: Porsche has confirmed the mid-engine platform and ruled out a pure battery-electric production car. The flat-eight comes from a Handelsblatt report, and Porsche hasn't commented. Price, power and launch date are not announced. Big bets, risky design calls, and the engineering behind them. ▶ Watch next: Jaguar Deleted Everything for One $130,000 EV →    • Jaguar Deleted Everything for One $130,000 EV   Sources: AutoGuide, Porsche Unveils Mission S https://www.autoguide.com/auto/porsch...
