- This is the Mission X, and Porsche claims it’s intended to be the fastest road legal car around the Nurburgring.
It’s an all-electric hypercar. Afraid so people. There’s no word on exact power, or driven wheels, but the claim is a 1:1 power-to-weight ratio and given Porsche’s involvement with Rimac, it’s safe to assume there’s a hint of Nevera in there somewhere.
Porsche hasn’t admitted it’s going into production, so there’s no price or build numbers are yet. But you don’t give yourself a whopping present like this and then bury it in a dusty warehouse for eternity.
It’s a track-focused electric hypercar, likely to set benchmarks by which all others will be judged. Mission X: is this the hypercar to take us beyond the petrol era?
Top Gear Magazine's Editor in Chief, Jack Rix, takes a closer look.

Its amazing how fresh the Carrera GT and 918 still look, you could release them as new cars today and no-one would complain, crazy the 918 is 10 years old too!
Congratulations on Porsche for teaching the world how an interior should be made. Digital with physical buttons 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Agree with you
eh opinions opinions, dont be too traditional, physical buttons break so if done well with some haptic feedback (Like on your phone), those are more then fine.
@@Decenium on the centre console, sure but having capacitive buttons on the steering wheel does on their cars is dumb. Unless the touch rejection is good, you're going to constantly hit buttons you didn't mean to.
@@Decenium - If I'm driving, particularly on a twisty road, I don't want to have to look at a screen to change something. I want a button or knob I can reach and operate without taking my eyes off the road.
I shouldn’t have to toggle a sub menu just to move an air vent.
Unbelievable that the 918 is 10 years old and looks that’s good
not really. 10 years is not that long in supercar aesthetics terms
Do you know how old gt1 cars are.
It will always look that good, it's design is like the Aston Martin db9 which never looks old. Both of these cars along with few other have an 'ever green' design.
@@MatteoFitnessit was actually introduced in 2010 :)
It's still one of thee most sexy-looking modern cars ever made.
I don't know that abandoning any semblance of circular or oval shaped headlights is a good idea, otherwise, its absolutely stunning!!!
I'd prefer the 919 street concept look. Other than that, love it.
I would say the same, but that rear light bar looks amazing, best I've ever seen that design done
The circular or oval shaped headlights wouldn’t fit the front of this car. I think the headlights are a unique design that should be studied further.
@@amazin7006Porsche rear Lights are usually stunning i must say
Honestly this design looks dated already. Looks like the old classic Chrysler ME-412 concept.
“Here you have the 959 from 1983 (…) the Carrera GT from 2003, you’ll notice these come in neat 10 year intervals”. Mate that’s 20 years. You missed the GT1 - although street version of that was in 1996…
The 996 GT1 wasn’t part of Porsche Hypercar line Up but an homologation special for Le Mans !
fact: 10 + 10 = 20. Thus, 20 years apart is an interval of 10 years.
Boom.
@chriscolagiovanni8162 20 years is not a 10 year interval, its a multiple of 10.
All that tells me is that the 911 GT1 is the most underrated Porsche of all time.
I'm kind of stunned by how much this sounds like classic TG Hammond. The commentary, intonation, cadence, just, all of it. And that isn't a bad thing, I just didn't expect it when I clicked this video.
This looks like a Le Mans prototype, I love it!
God, it does! That's really cool.
That’s what I was thinking
Looks like a Cadillac supercar with those headlights.
Top gear & Yutaka Yamagishi are 2 best automotive channels on TH-cam! 🙌🏼
Unfortunately, it won’t sound like it 😢
It looks cool... But the exhaust system on the 918 Spyder is just... Perfection.
I Agree
This also doesn't really resemble the 918 but much more the 1969 917, a beautiful car.
I don't think the world is ready for a electric Porsche hypercar
It is.
It is now
porsche fans are but the rest of the hypercar industry isn’t lol
@@joela6542 porsche fans are the ones pushing harder against it lol

Okay let's get the thumbs up bullet points out right quick.
-Electric bad
-Something about soul
-Something inline
-Old top gear
-24 hour le mans
This car looks sooooooooooo sick. And maybe I'm the weirdo, but I actually super like that color as well. After their work on the GT4 ePerformance, I imagine this thing will be an absolute monster with it's thermal management.
weirdo
A stunning Porsche Halo model, harking back to beautiful sports cars prototype designs at LeMans 1966-71 but most importantly this is the result of Porsche’s investment and partnership with Rimac, this is going to be an evolution of the Nevera with Porsche overseeing their own take on a 21st century EV Hyper car! Can’t wait to see it on the street or track! Time to play Powerball again! 🙌🏽🏁🔋💵
75% chance it’s delivered to customers before the Gen 2 Tesla Roadster…
Such a missed opportunity. The G2 roaster could have taken over the world if it came out in 2017. Now it's already outdated.
@@michaelfjmusic how is the G2 roadster outdated? It's a hypercar that costs nowhere near 2 million while still delivering practicality and a 620 mile range. Name me another car that does that.
@@thedumbconspirator4956 Unfortunately it isn't out yet, and hence you can't really compare an imaginary car with other imaginary cars. There's obviously a reason it hasn't come out yet and my guess is that those numbers aren't possible at the moment. I would love to be proven wrong however.
@@sourpeachearts read my comment. I wasn't comparing the roadster to anything. I'm not speculating reasons as to why the car isn't out yet. What I'm saying is a response to the original comment saying that the roadster would be outdated in today's car scene if it came out right now, I'm saying that it would still be a game changer.
@@sourpeachearts if you're wanna know why the roadster isn't out yet, Elon has actually commented on that. He said that tesla's main focus isnt and never was on the roadster and that they'd much rather scale model 3/y production and focus on their bread and butter cars. This does line up with Tesla's goal of an affordable mass market EV and is also the reason why Tesla unfortunately isn't offering a right hand drive model S/X. It's not impossible to make a RHD S/X, it's just that tesla is right now focusing on their money makers.
But Elon did say that they'll still release the roadster as a halo car and don't plan on cancelling it like the model S plaid+ and RHD S/X. That's all the roadster is, it's a halo car that isn't a priority at Tesla.
Lotus Evija, Lotus Emira and now this car are my current favorites in terms of styling.
I would look at the Rimac for power figures , Porsche have invested heavily into that company and maybe with the hopes of some fast things in return
Yes as a starting benchmark - this will be a cooperation between Rimac and Porsche next gen.
That looks bloody fantastic. Sure I wish it had an ICE, but most of us aren't the target market anyway. I'll be satisfied just getting to drive this in VR eventually
The interior of this is just insane, as good as anything I've seen in a $2M+ Koenigsegg or Pagani, just as bespoke and what does bespoke equal? Very expensive. If this does someone get greenlit to be built and anywhere near as exquisite, expect a $1.5M minimum cost with taxes and options taking it closer to $2M.
@@riofacts8283 Standard model Bentley's aren't on the same level as a Pagani or Koenigsegg but if you mean the Mulliner coachbuilt specials, the Batur and Bacalar which are $1M+ bespoke models then yes, those are similar in quality to a Pagani but I still think Pagani's and Koenigsegg's have an attention to detail that I've yet to see on any other car.
@@riofacts8283 totally different style, Paganis are all about blink-blink if you like it, and Bentley is pure class. Porsche is more serious sport / race.
@@riofacts8283 well you might be right I only can tell you from the seat of a viewer, I have never seen one in reality, so that's my impression, loads of chrome, milled aluminum, for me its too much blink-blink, don't like it. The Bentleys are much cheaper but I like their classy design based on the rich history.
@@riofacts8283 Pagani glued on excess aero that does nothing purely for the looks. They're nothing short of Italian Vanity.
He said blink blink 😂😂😂
Porche never misses 👌🔥 I just wish it had a internal combustion engine.. it kinda reminds me of the 917. I love the spec that color and the interior . The 2 different color seats are really interesting.
Porches have so many combustion products they keep paying fine that’s why they try to push new egas/eoil in because they care about their customers and care they made
Why does it remind you of the 917?
It's absolutely beautiful, and the interior is way more elegant than I thought it'd be
I was in my sisters car going to the Mall of America in the USA and HEARD a car rocking up from the rear, and saw a Carrera gt in the sideview mirror. Stunned. It was behind us!!
It reminds me a little with the Jaguar old JXR-15 design mixed with Porsche 918, and definitely has that strong DNA traces of the legendary 917. I would've preferred some kind of roundish headlights for its front, but it seems like that most of the electric hypercars nowadays are trying to tell you; we are a little different!
Wow this thing is amazing and we all know that when Porsche made a car that car will break all the records
I'm so excited to see the mission X on the road as the fastest car
The back reminds me of the Pininfarina Battista, but i think rimac is involved in this.
It literally is a re-bodied Rimac Nivera and the Pinanfarina Battista is a re-bodied Rimac Nivera too. Porsche owns 45% of Rimac…. I GM guess they thought we wouldn’t notice 🤦🏻♂️😂
The Battista is a Rimac underneath - this is next gen stuff - for sure with the input and development from Rimac, they are one company now.
One of the most gorgeous electric cars I've laid my eyes on! Very excited for mission x
One of the most gorgeous cars in general 🔥
This was your best presentation so far. I like this a lot!
Sounded like you were about to drive home for Christmas at 5:18 🎄
Such a cool interior, man.
Rockstar needs to make this the inspiration for the new Cheetah in GTA 6 😂
It shapes like, if it wasnt an EV, it can take a new gen Flat-12. Like the monsters of the past (917 and its Trans-Am super-brother)
Imagine, *a hypercar body with a Group-C inspired engine*
yes please - perfect colour too - rear view mirror cameras are going to make all kinds of design statements, starting with this one. Really intriguing placement.
is it gonna be rimac under the shell?
of course. incestuous VW group.
I think so
You'd think so, given their recent merger but I think I read or heard that this is bespoke Porsche tech, not originating from Rimac. That could of course all change, given its future release date.
Beautiful car. Rolling my eyes a bit at the steering wheel paddles for brake bias and regen. I thought Porsche would exercise more restraint there-- not exactly the handy input you need on a wheel, even in a minimalist interior.
Looks brill i could even imagine it with a flat 12 running on bio fuel
Biofuel is no better for the environment than fossil fuels. just keep it petrol.
@@Emira_75 Hydrogen could be an option for certain types of vehicles
@@procatprocat9647 hydrogen is still electric. The hydrogen just powers a generator which then powers an e motor
@@Grand_Priest_Goku incorrect. Hydrogen ICE is being developed all over the world. It uses modified diesel or petrol engines and combusts the hydrogen in the same way as any ice car.
Hydrogen can be used in other ways, but your statement is entirely incorrect.
Look at JCB Hydrogen as one example.
Great Job Top Gear! Love it! What a statement from Porsche!
Already 918 was my favourite and this too!!!
The Daytona window in the roof is fantastic, and the Porsche Design chronograph is a gem in an outstanding interior.
Didn’t think anything would ever replace the 918 Spyder as my ultimate dream car … until I saw the Mission X at the Melbourne Grand Prix. If this is the future, bring it on!!!
I wish they could’ve let you turn off the lower part of the front lights. I don’t really like the design but it’s quite cool. The car probably looks absolutely perfect with just the top part on
Looks retro with both
This is absolutely beautiful i like how they finally redesigned the headlights 👌🏽👌🏽 the body lines and just a completely new car
I know everything is now all about electrification. Do you think that we would see a hybridized naturally aspirated flat 6 911 on a basic trim (such as carrera and carrera4s?) or most hybridized 911 will be paired with a turbocharged flat 6 (probably excluding the soon hybridized gt3?) ?
It's stunning! 😍
The most special thing about this will actually be the weight and a totally new battery technology. Electric hypercars are no real alternative for the track yet, because they are so heavy. I mean even the recent Rimac Nevera weighs 2150kg, which is like crazy 800kg more than the best hypercars with a combustion engine. Porsche said in an German interview that they want at least a 1:1 ratio of power to weight and in the same report it was said that the car won't weigh more than 1500kg, because everything will be aimed for maximum lightweight, even the E-motors, the batteries... just basically everything. For comparison: the AMG ONE weighs 1695kg and has 1063 HP (power-ratio is 1 to 0.63). So with only 1500kg + a 1:1 power-to-weight-ratio, all the newest Porsche magic when it comes to the E-motors, suspension, chassis, aerodynamics, cooling etc. and all the newest Porsche-Rimac magic when it comes to the batteries and E-technology (so stuff, that is currently only developed for this car), this beast will be a monster on the track. Porsche already mentioned that in their current simulations they beat the new AMG ONE Nordschleife record by an insane amount of time. That's obviously only a simulation and when the Mission X is meant to be produced as a street-legal car in a few years, we're talking about battery-technology and other technology that is not on the market yet - but Porsche and also Rimac are working on it. I bet this car will set a new benchmark for E-hypercars on the street when it will be produced in a few years.
All Porsche really has to do is update and electrify the GT2 and it will comfortably beat the AMG One. But the target is moving.
200 extra horsepowers gives around 15 second advantage between Porsche GT3 and GT2 models so how much will further horsepower give? I tend to think quite a bit more because it can't taper off instantly but when you get close to 6 minutes you need some scary performance.
By the way, Mission X will probably be the first production car that will gain noticeable acceleration thanks to downforce. I consider +10% noticeable increase. So Mission X could start at around 1.4 G at 0 and reach 1.55 G at 150 kph. Maybe. But it's pretty cool if it can.
I'll take a amg one over an electric hypercar🤮🤮 hypercar cars should not be electric! Now I'm well aware I'm not the target Audience but electric supercars/hypercars are extremely repulsive
Absolutely gorgeous machine and what a fit out internally. No surprise it looks like the LeMans prototype currently back on the circuits. 918 still looks amazing too, 10 years and fresh as a daisy ❤❤❤😢😢 poster only fir me
2:20. In 10 years time, with the mission X added to their lineup, most would still pick the nearly 30 year old Carrera GT
Yes I would 100% pick the Carrera GT
I think most people would pick the 918 Spyder, but yes most people would pick the Carerra GT over an all electric car. This is basically just a fancy looking Tesla Plaid. If sports car enthusiasts wanted EVs then Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren would all be selling EVs now. You aren’t just paying for speed, you are paying for the driving experience, and EVs are nowhere near the driving experience as a ICE sports car
Great episode.
The color and look are amazing and with help from rimac it should be sick
Le Mans inspired prototypes are my favorite super/hypercars
I can't wait to see competition in the all electric hypercar. Good start Porsche.
Rimac Nevera, Lotus Evija, Aspark Owl, Pininfarina Battista
Many elements of the design look like concept cars from the 80's. Particularly the roof/glass.
2:09 so the famously tricky clutch that ive herd alot about is fixed by having a wooden gearstick knob, interesting
I can't believe the holy trinity is already 10 years old. I remember arguing with my friends in highschool about which one would be the fastest.
now THATS what i'm talking about!
an LMH for the street!!!
make it an LMH ! LMDH all kinda look the same :(
I like how they have kept every switches one expects to be there even though it's a car coming out by 2026 or 2027
Great feature from TG. Feels like the old TG.
All they have to do is rely on the drive train developments from Rimac since they started that partnership last year. Should be awesome.
Wow porsche beast🔥
Don’t know about the drivetrain but this thing looks aesthetically ready for production
Beautiful
Very good 🎉
Beautiful 🎉
Instant favourite for me.
Love it, can't afford it... doesn't matter.
We can all dream.
Danke schoon Porsche!!
Porsche put two speeds in the Taycan. With how good PDK is, it makes sense to add a few more gears and harness that monster torque in electric motors and also increase the gear ratio dramatically for range. It wouldn’t surprise me if this car comes out with a transmission.
pdk is good but imagine this running on CVT... you could have way more relations to acelerate, and once a certain speed is reached make it way more eficient making it have a long range.
True but their is a bit of a catch to that. You see, you control the gears in a Taycan by speed alone, it is truly automatic.
Could you put in more gears, maybe but that is more a waste of energy that anything because gears in a ICE are not just for entertainment sake... it to control the torque band, which for an EV is effectively 0. Hell, the Taycan has to two speed to control the heat of the gears than anything else.
Sadly, range is a static near flat line between the gears the Taycan does have.
That's against the Porsche Philosophy I would say - they are all about form follows function - you don't need a gear box anymore - the Taycan use it for higher efficiency - but its also higher weight. High Tech engines don't need those anymore - so safe the weight.
Stunning vehicle! Porsche does it again
When someone hears mission x people expect an absolutely ridiculous track focus car but this car is seams more sophisticated and elegant
Battery's are probably going to be solid state, two of the major battery manufacturers are planning production runs from 2025, Solid State is the game changer, twice the capacity, twice the output, half the charging time, so the cars can be significantly lighter than current electric vehicles while still out performing them in every metric.
those wheels are insane
Amazing 🎉
Bee-E-A-utiful. Love the Cadillac inspired headlights.
The 918 was the most underwhelming looking car of the holy trinity at the time, but now…. It’s bloody gorgeous
What a masterpiece - futuristic.
The extra window up front is a nod to the 917 racing in the US
Looks like a ufo-uap with wheels amazing ❤
Stunning
That is one fancy shed!😀
Amazing 👏 ❤️
00:54 I can definitely use that as my pc wallpaper
You missed an important point here that Porsche is intentionally moving away from surface touch interfaces (ahem Ferrari) and towards metal mechanical/physical/tactile controls as a means of bringing back ‘analogue glory days’ of Porsche. It’s a welcome change. Not that I’ll ever be able to own one. But hopefully it will trickle down as the new design language.
I'd rather it not be an EV, these cars can be fast and quick but something can be fast and boring.
This is the challenge of all car makers for the. future isn't it. Straight-line speed is boring after the 3rd time. Which never is boring is sound, handling, apex, breaking on the limit, and a combination of it.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 I agree, but....
How much of that is legal on the road? Just the sound.
Which element is missing in this car? Just the sound.
@@procatprocat9647 It will be history.....but those super cars which are lined up will be cared for and remembered. Its not only the sound - its the attack on all senses, its what you see, what you smell, the vibrations in all ranges, the oil, gas, leather...this will be from the past soon - the world will be cleaner, but the immersion into all senses will be a thing of the past.
@@bavariancarenthusiast2722 you've entirely misunderstood my post.
Who thought brown would look good on a modern electric super car?? I honestly would have chosen silver or some fancy color instead. Either way Porsche is just awesome!
918 porsche still looks like a brand new car in 2023
Interior is 10/10 !
Noticed the top silhouette of the car matches the top of the cheetahs back on the decal. I feel this isn't a coincidence.
Love how the 911 GT1 (the best of the bunch) gets forgotten when porsche supercars are mentioned.
I agree, Barry.
Because it's not a supercar - its a pure race car in street pajamas - a homologation breed, never rooted in a Supercar.
@bavariancarenthusiast2722 it should be. As a matter of fact I think porsche should make a limited number of 911 GT1's (50-100) every generation (997-991 ect) and it should be an extreme track focused car. Porsche keeps making the GT2 RS, and I keep wondering why they don't build the 911 GT1? Such an underrated car.
Correct because there was a Strassenversion GT1 and they should've parked it before the CGT.
I like Porsche since I studied mechanics 9 years ago and when my family gave me a book about the history of Porsche and I learned about the Porsche 360 Cisitalia 👨🏻🔧
They finally lit up the "Porsche" in the real lights! I wish they'd have done that with the Taycan! Would love to have it light up one letter at a time as you power on the car! How cool to have a mic drop moment like that with it going "P O R S C H E" one letter at a time like that? I investigated doing that on my Taycan and the money to do it would just be nuts. Can't wait to see what the production model of this car looks like and what it can do!
I wonder what the reason is for making the passenger seat brown? The car must be very quick:)
If this is faster than the AMG One around a long track like the Nurburgring that would be very impressive, especially for an EV.
I do like the fact that it's fully electric, and I absolutely love that we're finally getting a bleeding-edge successor to the GT and 918, but this honestly doesn't look nearly as good as either of them, I'm afraid. The 918 still is one of the sexiest cars ever made, whereas this one looks like a weird hybrid between the Porsche 963 LMS, the Pagani Utopia, the Cadillac Cien and the Jaguar XJ75 with Chiron-esque taillights. It's not terribly smooth, and it just doesn't scream "Porsche" to me. And while the interior is indeed awesome, it's most likely gonna be heavily reworked for the road-ready version. But I hope its performance will be enough to change my mind lol
The lights are so distinct it genuinely doesn’t look like a Porsche.
Unbelievable that the Carrera GT is 20 years old and stll looks this good 😊
I'm curious to see how far is the interest of collectors and the super rich and enthusiasts on electric hyper cars go. For now hybrids and electrics are new and cool, and crazy. I wanna see if that will fade away with time and the new wealthy generations. If people who lost interest on motor sport in general is a metric, the lack of sound will definitely be a problem. Like what happened with F1.
As an automotive engineer, that billet machined from solid rear light bar for "the marketing story" at the extremity of the car makes me weep 😢
It's a concept. What's your issue with the cnc light bar?
Nice
And it has the Daytona 917 roof window. 😊
How great is that!!!!!! if you find this design easter eggs only if you know! With Gulf livery please
As a passenger I really wouldn't want to headbutt that analogue timepiece in a crash... I like the fact the battery has been packaged like in the Evija to emulate mid-engined car mass distribution, but I do wonder if this, and the 2025 Boxster/Cayman EV, will get solid state batteries like the Toyotas due in 2027. They'll also need to something clever with the glasshouse tinting to avoid frying the occupants on a sunny day. Is this going to be RWD?
The front light is not looking sharp enough. 919 concept looks much bolder, balanced and beautiful, and it has that Lmp race car DNA.
i like the cheetah sticker. makes it look more approachable
This thing is gorgeous except for the headlights. I'm in no way opposed to new takes (granted I love the circular headlights Porsche has always had an would love to see what this design would have been had they designed the front with those in mind) but these are a little odd for me. The design is cool but the proportions are off. Maybe turn them horizontal or maybe make them one piece, not split like that. Maybe extend the top one just past the nose to about where the second light starts. Similar to the Brabham BT62's light but just shifted downward. Or even the same placement the Brabham has would work
With 4 years to go to 2027, i have a feeling quite of few things could change...
That's... quite a busy design. It's past present and future all crammed into a car. There's even a T top.
Beautiful car
