From what we can see, the shape of the Mission E prototype is actually identical to the concept, sans the suicide doors. The styling is more on the lines of the Panamera and even the 911 and this makes it quite an attractive looking sedan which has a fastback tail.

According to Porsche, the production Mission E will have over 600 horsepower, which will allow the electric sedan to reach 100 kmph in less than 3.5 seconds, and that's very quick. It'll be capable of driving over 500 km on a single charge and will be able to charge upto 80 per cent in just 15 minutes but these specifications are only applicable to the top-end version.

The production version of the Mission E concept will be built by Porsche in Stuttgart and the company plans to build 20,000 Porsche units per year but if the demand goes up then it'll be able to cater to it by expanding production. In fact, the Porsche EV will be launched in India in early 2020 and will come to the country as a completely built unit.
