Porsche executive slams Tesla and its 'Ludicrous' mode

Porsche is well into the development process of its Mission E concept, and it appears that the German carmaker has its sights firmly set on the competition – Tesla's Model S.

A 600hp electric powertrain is to feature in the Mission E, a Porsche executive claimed, with a 300-mile range that puts it on a par with the P90D Model S. Its twin electric motors will be able to push it to 62mph from a standstill in just 3.5 seconds, thanks in part to technology derived from the marque's 919 hybrid race car.
