Gestures, before screens
Porsche unveiled the Mission S on 15 October 2026 on a Queens pier, facing Manhattan. In this concept, the gaze naturally returns to the steering wheel. Five round instruments frame a needle rev counter, while physical controls allow action without turning every gesture into a menu. The fixed central screen disappears in favour of a retractable MagSafe-compatible phone mount. A proposition that makes you want to look at the road, feel a control under your fingers and let the rest wait.
A family still to be imagined
The silhouette rests on a mid-engine architecture. Its haunches and its proportions summon several Porsche eras; the wheels notably reinterpret those of the 928. The Mission S remains a vision vehicle, not an order form. It nonetheless accompanies the announcement of the development of a new supercar platform, positioned above the 911 and intended for a lasting offering. What holds our attention here lies in that intention: building the next Porsche around the relationship between the person at the wheel and the machine.
