Overview
- Porsche revealed the Mission S concept at a dedicated New York presentation on Thursday, October 15, giving the first public look at a mid‑engine show car set above the 911.
- CEO Michael Leiters said the Mission S represents a permanent mid‑engine supersport platform rather than a one‑off hypercar, signaling a new, ongoing model line for demanding customers.
- Design chief Tobias Sühlmann led the Mission S styling, which deliberately cites Porsche icons such as the 911 GT1, 959 and 917 and pairs a sculpted exterior with a purist, driver‑centric interior featuring five round instruments and an analog tachometer.
- Porsche has confirmed any production Mission S would use a combustion engine or hybrid powertrain and that a fully electric variant is excluded for now, but the company has not released performance specs, a production date or pricing.
- Media and analysts speculate the production car could appear in mid/late 2028 or into the early 2030s with rumored prices around €400,000–€600,000, and the Mission S is positioned under Porsche’s Sportwagenschmiede ’35 plan to expand the brand upward while other electrification projects continue.
