Porsche's Mission E takes aim at the Tesla Model S

Don't look now, but Porsche's shifted gears and looks to be aiming for the sedan with supercar performance EV market dominated by none other than Tesla's Model S.  The Mission E is a fresh new Porsche prototype, a 5-seater sedan designed for long-range EV driving.

Featuring a 600 horsepower engine with a 0-100 kph time under 3.5 seconds, a top speed of over 250 km/h, and a total range of over 500 kilometers, the Mission E is also one of the most futuristic Porsches we've come to market.

Porsche is going for all the sweet-spots that have helped sell Tesla's Model S, including the ability to get a 80 percent charge in just 15 minutes using their proprietary 800-volt "Porsche Turbo Charging" system, which is faster than Tesla's Superchargers. If this prototype should come to fruition, it should go on sale for around $ US 100,000.00.
