This enables the car to hit 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds silently, and is capable of a 500 km range. The 800-volt power system, double of other 400-volt systems on the market, can be charged with sufficient energy in just 15 minutes for a range of 400 km. The car can be charged on regular 400-volt charging stations, but Porsche says that charging time will be longer.

Standing at only 130 cm, the Porsche Mission-E Concept’s body is constructed out of a mix of aluminum, steel and carbon fiber reinforced polymer. The front wheels are 21-inches, while the rear wheels are 22-inches, both of which are full carbon.
