Perhaps no German prestige carmaker was more rattled than Porsche by the sudden appearance of electric-car startup Tesla Motors.
With the sports-car brand having just launched its first sedan, the Panamera, the arrival of the Tesla Model S in 2012 offered an alternative take on a large luxury sedan: one offering stunning performance not from a huge V-8 but from electric power.
Now we can see a first draft of how Porsche plans to fight back.

The sleek, mid-size four-door Mission E sedan concept looks as much like an elongated 911 sports coupe as it does the hump-backed Panamera--and it's moved solely by a 600-horsepower battery-electric powertrain.
Porsche will debut the car officially today at the Frankfurt Motor Show, but it displayed the Mission E last night at an event for invited press. It says it will decide by December whether to put it into production.
