Porsche hypercar ‘just a matter of time’, may not be an EV

AutoExec Summary
Porsche is still working on its Mission X hypercar to succeed the 918, but there is internal debate on whether it will be fully electric or a hybrid. Chief designer Michael Mauer mentioned that Porsche wants the new hypercar to be the best in its segment, leading to discussions on the right powertrain solution. Porsche may be waiting to gauge customer reception to its new electric vehicles before deciding on the hypercar’s powertrain. The focus is on lap times rather than acceleration, potentially steering away from a fully electric hypercar. The upcoming hypercar will have big shoes to fill after the impressive performance of the 918.
