Porsche vows to crush Tesla


PORSCHE says its new Mission E high performance electric car – shown as a concept at the 2015 Frankfurt motor show and expected on sale about 2018 - will be the fastest on the market.
That means it will out-accelerate the Tesla P85D, which gets from 0 to 100km/h in 3.0 seconds.
Speaking shortly after the sleek four-door’s motor show reveal at the show, Porsche research and development chief Wolfgang Hatz said it was important to take the electric performance lead.




The Mission E is powered by two “permanently-excited” electric motors claimed to produce more than 440kW
Hatz said the electric motors would give repeatable performance, rather than reducing their performance when under extended load, as can happen with the Tesla.
He also said the Mission E production car would bring new battery and charging technology – including an 800V electrical system similar to that in the 919 race car – that would allow more than 500km of driving and an 80 percent charge within 15 minutes.
