2022 Porsche Mission R concept https://youtu.be/3AaT8sb2eEI

The electric Mission R concept is about the size of the 718 Cayman but wider and lower, and it can hold its own with a 911 GT3 Cup car around the track.
The Mission R, which is similar in size to the 718 Cayman but sits considerably lower and wider, features two electric motors, with a 429-hp unit on the front axle and a 644-hp motor powering the rear. In Race mode, the Mission R delivers a consistent 671 horsepower, but in Qualifying mode, the motors churn out a whopping 1073 horsepower. The juice needed for all that power is delivered via an approximately 80.0-kWh battery that Porsche says can supply 30 to 45 minutes of on-track action.
The EV powertrain isn't the only area where Porsche focused on sustainability. Most of the Mission R's body is built from natural-fiber-reinforced plastic, and the material features heavily in the interior along with 3D-printed foam elements. The interior is geared toward maximizing on-track performance, with a screen on the steering wheel providing important data while a display perched atop the steering column shows the side and rear mirror camera views. There are also cameras throughout the interior that can have their angle remotely adjusted, and Porsche envisions fans choosing the camera angles while the race is livestreamed.

The Mission R is currently a running prototype—with Porsche lapping it around their test track—but the company says more development is needed and suggests that a fully realized version could come in 2025 or 2026. Porsche hasn't officially said if the Mission R is bound for production, but the concept could preview the next-generation Cayman and Boxster, which are expected to be electric and could spawn a one-make electric racing series of its own.
