Electric 911

Here in the Dutch Caliphate there has already been word of a hybrid diesel boxer-4 911

It would not be cheap. Solid-state batteries will be affordable in next 15 years.

Porsche would build them in limited numbers.

-Porsche Mission E get the green light.

>“It is very close to what you saw two years ago at Frankfurt,” Porsche CEO Oliver Blume says of the forthcoming production version of 2015’s stunning Mission E Concept.

>That’s for beholders to gauge once the production version of the Mission E is pictured in 2019, when the model arrives exclusively with electric powertrains. Oliver Blume did, however, make clearer commitments relative to the Mission E that will delight Porschephiles and — perhaps — convert Tesla fans.

>Right from launch, the Porsche Mission E — likely a 2020 model year vehicle — will be marketed with a 350 kW charge rate that “will be enough for a 400-kilometer range on an 80 percent charge,” Blume says. That’s 250 miles of range from a 15-minute charge. All of this in a car that Porsche claims accelerates from rest to 60 miles per hour in 3.5 seconds and tops 155 mph, a car Porsche couldn’t have developed “so quickly without the 919” — the automaker’s Le Mans-winning hybrid endurance racer.

>Porsche says the Mission E’s fully charged range will be 300 miles, but the company is considering different power outputs — expect S and GTS models, for example — which will presumably alter the range. The dual-motor format promises all-wheel drive. Different bodystyles are also under consideration.

>Presently, the least costly Tesla Model S is the $69,500 rear-wheel drive 75 with 249 miles of range and a 4.3-second 0-60 time. Tesla also markets the $74,500 75D (with slightly more range and all-wheel drive), the $94,000 100D (335-mile range, 0-60 in 4.1), and the $135,000 P100D, which drops range by 20 miles but cuts the 0-60 time to a claimed 2.5 seconds.

>At launch, however, faithfulness to 2015’s concept could end up as just as strong a selling point as the Porsche badge or Model S-baiting acceleration figures. Few and far between are cars with enough drama to match the Mission E’s eye-catching design.

>Right from launch, the Porsche Mission E — likely a 2020 model year vehicle — will be marketed with a 350 kW charge rate that “will be enough for a 400-kilometer range on an 80 percent charge,” Blume says. That’s 250 miles of range from a 15-minute charge.

For those people saying that EVs need to be able to do a 5-minute charge, for normal in-town and light cross country use, a 5 minute charge at this rate should be good for an extra 83 miles of range. There's plenty of times where I barely even drive 80 miles in a single day, so I like the idea of a 5-minute charge being able to get me enough miles to do a ton more driving around town. Related, I posted the spec sheet for a charger that should be in the ballpark of what Porsche is expecting to have available in 2020. The company already started rolling them out this summer so with any luck, there will be tons of them deployed by 2020. Very cool stuff.

tl;dr: With 5 minute charge, Porsche Mission E will able to get an extra 83 miles of range.

Ah, so I see you got word of the GT3 replacement

but i want an hooning machine of death not an audi with shitty interior.

thank god

overpriced meme machines that have to be government subsided need to fucking die

>It would not be cheap.
>Porsche

Oh geez and this is news?
Of course it will be expensive. New shit is always expensive at first but the more it gets used the cheaper it gets and someone has to start somewhere, hence Porsche doing this would be awesome.

Wouldn't this make it heavy as fuck? Or is the power:weight of the batteries better?
