Porsche's Electric Supercar Decision
Porsche won't build an electric supercar for the 2026 Mission S because customer demand for EVs in the high-performance segment is low.
“There won't be a BEV on that platform because there is no demand, in this segment, for an EV there.”
CEO's Reasoning
CEO Michael Leiters states there is no demand for an electric version in the supercar segment.
“There won't be a BEV on that platform because there is no demand, in this segment, for an EV there.”
Porsche's Powertrain Options
The Mission S will support combustion engines, conventional hybrids, and plug-in hybrids but not a fully electric setup.
Other Brands' Challenges
Lamborghini and Pagani also face low demand for electric supercars, with Pagani scrapping its electric Utopia project.
“We showed the idea to our dealers and our customers, but no one showed interest.”
Rimac's Sales Shortfall
Rimac sold only 71 Neveras instead of the planned 150 units, indicating low demand for electric hypercars.
Porsche's Stance on Electrification
Porsche bets on gasoline power for the Mission S, with hybrid assistance where it makes sense.
The essence
Porsche won't build an electric supercar for the 2026 Mission S because customer demand for EVs in the high-performance segment is low.
