iRacing and Porsche announced on Thursday (1st September 2022) that the all-electric Porsche Mission R concept car will be joining the iRacing service next week. This will be iRacing‘s first foray into all-electric car racing as the concept car will be a part of iRacing’s content update for 2022 Season 4.
Porsche’s Mission R concept car is particularly cool to those of us in the sim racing sphere. About a year ago, we reported on the unveiling of the car, which normally wouldn’t be something to cover on a racing games and esports website like Traxion.GG.
The reason that we did, however, was because the cockpit of the Mission R concept car is made to double as a sim racing rig. It’s a truly unique aspect where the car can be raced in the real-world and then utilized for sim racing and racing esports activities afterward with the “self-contained, monocoque-type driver cell” that is able to be used outside of the car as its own simulator.
The car itself has dual electric motors that generate over 800 kilowatts of power, allowing the car to reach 60mph in less than two-and-a-half seconds. This Porsche Mission R can also recharge 75 percent of the battery in only 15 minutes. It’s a truly unique and exciting futuristic concept of a car.
