The fourth and final week of High Performance is here! This is the week you can unlock the incredible 2021 Porsche Mission R. This car makes a clear statement, bringing together everything that the Porsche lineage has always set out to achieve and doing it with astounding performance numbers.

While the car is proof of concept and won’t enter production, the vision behind the all-wheel drive, lightweight and fully electric car has been to show how race cars could evolve over the next five to six years. Indeed, the Porsche Mission R, which is perfect for high-intensity sprint racing, is pioneering the future of electrified Porsche GT4 race cars with over 800 kW (1,000 horsepower), 0-62mph in less than 2.5 seconds, an overall top speed of 186mph, and super-fast charging to 80% in just 15 minutes.

Welcome maximum power to your garage with the 2011 Koenigsegg Agera, a speed monster capable of producing astounding amounts of power.

The Agera’s mighty 5.0-liter, twin turbo V8 engine can produce 960 bhp and take this car from 0 – 100 kmh in just 3 seconds. To make this car as agile as possible, Koenigsegg’s team designed this car to be as wide in the front as it is in the back to improve balance when cornering. They also equipped the Agera with one of the best TCS made at the time.

This car is filled with aerodynamic improvements all over its body such as the Venturi tunnels on its rear, the adaptable wing, and the flat underside of its chassis.
