The car is a four-seater, with four doors and four-wheel-drive to boot.

Dramatic headlights are just the beginning.

A pair of motors provide some 600+ horsepower spread across all four wheels.

Dramatic aerodynamics are key.

The car features no mirrors, which is commonplace on concepts. Instead it relies on cameras.

The concept is wide and low and white and lovely.

The Mission E is just a concept, but if Porsche was thinking about building an all-electric Panamera, we'd have to guess it'll look a lot like this.
