It has a crimson stripe and light blue stitching. Additionally, there is a black leather strap with matching stitching.

<h2>Porsche Concept Car: The Mission X</h2>

To honour its 75th year as a leading manufacturer of sports vehicles, Porsche unveiled its latest concept car, the Mission X, back in June. The Mission X is a concept for sleek, lightweight, and battery-powered sports cars that we may see on the market in upcoming years by the German brand. It is not for sale right now, but a production decision will be made at some point.

The Mission X is a hypercar that is relatively small in size at 4,496mm in length and 1,999mm in width. Its 2,728mm wheelbase gives it the same proportions as the Carrera GT and the 918 Spyder. The concept car's wheels have a staggered size of 20 inches up front and 21 inches at the rear for aerodynamic purposes.&nbsp;

Given the company's focus on lightweight construction, it's safe to assume it's in the 1400 – 1500kgs range, which is typical for a modern 911. Therefore, the power output should be close to 1500bhp. Porsche claims the batteries will be located where the engine normally sits in a mid-engined hypercar, i.e. behind the rear seats. The 'e-core' architecture, which is comparable to Porsche's Mission R, allows for a lower floor than with a normal battery skateboard chassis and also helps to centre the mass of the car, improving its handling.&nbsp;
