Yahoo Autos 5 cool details about the new Porsche Mission X concept car
Porsche revealed its Mission X concept car last week, which is an idea of what a future Porsche electric super car could look like. And while it's stunning taken from afar, as well as on paper with what few statistics Porsche would share, it's chock full of fun details. Porsche designers took us through them, and we've highlighted some of the coolest features for your perusal.
It has an animal mascot
Tucked away ahead of the rear wheels, there are stickers of a cheetah in full sprint. It's something of an unofficial mascot for the car, chosen because it's fast and lightweight, the way Porsche wants the Mission X to be. It's also the continuation of a little tradition that's cropped up among Porsche designers of adding animals to its designs. The Vision 357 concept has a dinosaur on it to represent the fact it's sort of the last of its kind; inspired by old models and still runs on an internal combustion engine. And the Mission R concept featured a wild boar, perhaps because it's a wild racing machine.
