And, as we learned today, a mid-engined supercar. “The Mission S provides a glimpse of the ideas and design features that will shape Porsche in the coming years,” said Leiters. “At the same time, the Mission S represents a mid-engined supersports car platform positioned above the 911—not as a one-off hypercar, but as a permanent and versatile addition to our customer offering.” Driver engagement is the aim, and I’d bet that “on your own” red button turns off a bunch of driver assists.
