Production Porsche Mission E Rendered Based on Spyshots Looks Spot On

Earlier this week, our spy photogs delivered one of the most precious digital cargo of the year, namely the first spyshots of the Porsche Mission E.

The prototype seemed to retain plenty of the bewildering styling cues we've met at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show, when the Mission E concept car made its debut.

Since Zuffenhausen's first electric machine won't make its debut until the end of the decade (you can expect the sedan to land in late 2019), we have plenty of waiting to do.

And, as many of you know, the Internet doesn't like counting the days. And what does the world wide web do when faced with such an issue? It comes up with renders that help us pass the time, of course.

Case in point with the pixel play we have here, which gives us a pretty good impression of how the production Mission E will look like.

Digital artist Laurent Schmidt came up with this rendering by using the said spyshots as a starting point, while turning the obvious aid of the second-generation Panamera for extra design details.

Nevertheless, we're more interested in the below-the-skin details of the electron juice-sipping baby Panamera, if we might call it so.

And just like the 919 Hybrid, with its three Le Mans victories, was the first LMP1 racecar to move into the 8MJ energy recuperation class, the Mission E aims to step up the electric game.

To be more precise, while today's EVs pack 400V hardware, the newcomer will pack an 800V system. Porsche has already started introducing 800V charging stations, so, by the time the production car lands, the proper infrastructure will be there.

So far, Porsche has only talked about the Mission E delivering a 500 km (310 miles) driving range, while also mentioning that the car will kick off at around $86,000.

Nevertheless, we're expecting the traditional uber-rich lineup approach of the automaker to also be used for the electric machine and we can't wait to get our hands on the info for all the versions of the Mission E.

Until then, you can take a look at the Photoshop birth process of this render in the clip below.
