This is the Mission X, and Porsche claims it’s intended to be the fastest road legal car around the Nürburgring. Oh, and it’s fully electric.

Porsche hasn’t admitted it’s going into production, so there’s no price or build numbers. But you don’t build a meticulously engineered project like this and then bury it in a dusty warehouse for eternity.

Indeed, is this the hypercar to take us beyond the petrol era? Top Gear magazine’s editor in chief, Jack Rix, takes a closer look.
