Porsche Mission R is a Concept Electric Race Car with Specs of 1,073 Horsepower
The Porsche Mission R debuts as a study of an all-electric GT racing car that reveals what customer motorsports could look like in the future. It is powered by two electric motors combining to produce 1,073 horsepower. It can also achieve a 0-60 mph time of 2.4 seconds and a top speed of 186 mph. The Mission R is on par with the performance level of the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup.
Performance Specs
The Porsche Mission R is powered by two electric motors. One powers the front wheels and one powers the rear wheels. The electric motor on the front axle produces specs up to 435 horsepower in race mode. In qualifying mode, the all-wheel-drive car has a peak system output of more than 1,073 horsepower. The continuous system power in race mode is 670 horsepower. The lightweight electric racing car also tips the scales at around 3,306 lbs. That allows it to achieve a 0-60 mph time of 2.4 seconds and top speed of 186 mph.
Over-the-Air Technology
The Porsche Mission R is pre-equipped for over-the-air technology. In the event of problems occurring during the race, Porsche Motorsport experts from Weissach would be able to access data from the customer cars via a remote interface and then help with troubleshooting.
High Efficient E-Motors
In the Mission R, Porsche is offering a preview of the next generation of electric motors. The most important innovation of these permanently excited synchronous machines (PESMs) is the direct oil cooling of the stator. This enables very high peak and continuous power output levels to be achieved. It delivers a very high level of efficiency as well.
Furthermore, an optimization algorithm was used to determine the optimum shape and position of the magnets in the rotor. It combines excellent electromagnetic properties with high mechanical strength at very high speeds. During production, the magnets are inserted into the rotor laminations and extrusion-coated with plastic. As a result, they do not move, despite high centrifugal forces, and the balancing quality of the rotor remains stable.
High-End Battery/ 900-Volt Technology
The battery sits behind the driver of the Porsche Mission R in an e-core layout. Its total capacity is 82 kWh which means it is designed for a sprint race format distance of 25 to 40 minutes. High-end cells are used to benefit from the high power density.
The Porsche Taycan was the first car to enter production using 800-volt technology. In the Mission R, Porsche is raising the bar a notch higher again with a voltage rating of more than 900 volts. Using 900-volt technology will result in further improvements in continuous power, weight and charging time. At DC fast charging stations, the Mission R can be charged from 5 to 80 percent within approximately 15 minutes. The maximum charging capacity is 350 kW and the charge port is located beneath the middle of the spoiler.
High-Voltage Alert System
As a matter of principle, the high-voltage safety concept of the Mission R meets the same high standards of safety as those required for series production vehicles. This means that, in the event of a collision, the battery connections to the vehicle and the high-voltage consumers are automatically disconnected to ensure no voltage is present.
There is also an alert system designed specifically for the pit crew. Special LEDs behind the windscreen and on the roof provide fast and detailed information on the operating status of the high-voltage system. If the LEDs light up green, the Mission R is high-voltage safe. However, if the LEDs are red only high-voltage trained personnel should approach the vehicle.
