According to CAR, the Mission E is expected to go into production late 2019, and is the first of many electric cars Porsche has planned. The car will start at $85,000, situating it at a perfect price point between the updated Panamera and 911. Porsche will reportedly offer multiple performance variants of the Mission E, with 911-inspired designations like "S" and "GTS".

Porsche says that the production Mission E will remain as true as possible to the 2015 concept, so promised features such as the 300-mile range and 15-minute fast-charging are staying. The 4-seater accelerates from 0-60 MPH in just 3.5 seconds, and rockets past 155 MPH in CAR's telling. The Mission E will of course feature many of Porsche's best technologies like 4-wheel steering and gesture control, adding to its futuristic vibe.

While the Mission E could be a revolutionary car on its own, it's already a huge boon for Porsche, as the production will add over 1,000 jobs to the company's primary plant in Stuttgart.
