In the pulsating world of hypercars, where speed and innovation intertwine, Porsche’s Mission X (below) is gearing up to leave its indelible mark. Yet, standing in the Mission X’s electrified path are several fierce contenders, each with their unique prowess and a thirst for the ultimate speed thrill.
.
Lotus Evija
First in the lineup is the Lotus Evija, a striking beauty that effortlessly blends aesthetics with performance. Announced four years ago, this hypercar promises 2,011bhp courtesy of its quad motors, translating to a blistering 0-186mph sprint in a mere 9.1 seconds. While its debut has been eagerly anticipated, none of the 130 cars have graced the roads yet, leaving the hypercar world on the edge of their seats.
.
Tesla Roadster
Next, we have the iconic Tesla Roadster, a name synonymous with electric acceleration. Having been on the horizon for six years, it boasts a 200kWh battery pack, making it not just a speed demon but also one of the more budget-friendly options in this elite club, with a price tag of around Ł200,000. However, it faces the challenge of keeping up with newer, more powerful entrants like the Rimac Nevera.
.
Aspark Owl
The Aspark Owl, a fascinating blend of Japanese engineering and Italian craftsmanship, made its debut in 2017. This unique hypercar, aiming for a production run of 50 units, claims a 0-186mph time of 10.6 seconds. While it has a hefty price tag of around €2.5 million, its sluggish performance might pose a challenge in a fiercely competitive market.
.
Ariel Hipercar
Ariel enters the ring with its Hipercar, a marvel that combines quad motors with a jet engine-inspired range extender. Although it generates a slightly lower 1,180bhp, its lightweight build ensures impressive acceleration figures: 0-60mph in 2.0 seconds and 100mph in about 4.0 seconds. It brings a unique touch to the hypercar arena, catering to enthusiasts looking for innovation.
.
Rimac Nevera
Then, there’s the trailblazer – the Rimac Nevera. Currently the only hypercar available for purchase, it sets a new benchmark for electric speed. With quad motors and a single-speed gearbox, it achieves mind-bending acceleration: 0-62mph in 1.8 seconds, 0-100mph in 3.2 seconds, and an astonishing top speed of 256mph. Its influence on the Mission X is undeniable, pushing the boundaries of what electric hypercars can achieve.
.
McMurtry Spéirling Pure
Lastly, the McMurtry Spéirling Pure takes a unique approach, focusing on track performance. Limited to 100 units and priced at Ł984,000 each, it promises a power-to-weight ratio of less than 1,000kg per 1,000bhp. With its innovative design, including giant fans to keep it glued to the ground, it’s a hypercar designed explicitly for the track enthusiast.
In this electrifying showdown, the Mission X isn’t just competing; it’s leading the charge. Porsche’s legacy of performance meets the electric revolution head-on, promising a thrilling ride for enthusiasts and a stern challenge for its competitors. The future of hypercars has never looked more exciting.
