Overview
- Porsche revealed the Mission S vision model in mid‑October on a Queens pier, a deliberate reference to photos of the 1953 550 Spyder taken at the same location.
- The Mission S is presented as a permanent mid‑engine model that the company says will sit above the 911 in Porsche’s lineup and influence future products.
- Exterior details lean heavily on Porsche heritage with torpedo‑style front fenders, a visible rear cooling fan, an active rear wing and classic dial‑style wheels.
- The cabin returns to an analogue, driver‑focused layout with five circular instruments and an analogue rev counter, a MagSafe phone dock instead of a permanent centre screen and an ‘On your own’ mode that turns off driver assists.
- Porsche says the platform could accept gasoline or hybrid powertrains and manual or automatic gearboxes but it has not released final specs, pricing or a production timetable and ties the car to Sportwagenschmiede '35 goals of higher margins and a simpler model range.
