Porsche extends its Formula E commitment

  • Commitment includes racing under the new GEN4 regulations from season 13
  • Formula E continues to be highly relevant for road-car development
  • Previous vehicle evolution yields major performance boosts

Porsche extends its involvement in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. This decision means that the Stuttgart sports car manufacturer will line up on the grid when the next generation of vehicles, known as GEN4, arrives in the all-electric racing series. Featuring part-time all-wheel drive, the regulations throw another technical challenge in terms of road-car development as early as next year (season 11). GEN4 will be introduced in season 13 (2026/2027) and should allow manufacturers even more scope for development, from which they can then gain more insights for their series production.

“Right from the outset, we regarded our Formula E commitment as long-term,” says Michael Steiner, Member of the Executive Board for Research and Development at Porsche AG. “The evolution of racing vehicles shows how much development potential there is in e-mobility. Going forward, we want to glean even more knowledge from Formula E that we can transfer to our roadgoing sports cars. As one of the most competitive series in motor racing, it’s already pushing us to achieve technological excellence. We look forward to continuing to shape the championship and contributing to the advancement of e-mobility.”

“Like Formula E, we want to add innovative technologies and increased sustainability to motorsport – and be at the cutting edge of new developments,” adds Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport. “The world championship offers a first-class stage for this: racing at the highest level, public interest worldwide and high technological relevance. The knowledge from racing flows directly into our sports cars: motorsport engineers sit shoulder to shoulder with colleagues from road projects. After all, we don’t develop technology for the sake of technology – it must benefit our customers.”

Performance evolution of Formula E vehicles over ten years
Porsche joined the innovative electric racing series at the start of the 2019/2020 season. At that time, second-generation vehicles were fielded, which meant that it was no longer necessary to swap vehicles halfway through the race due to range restrictions. The cars are now in their third generation – achieving up to 350 kW of power, a maximum recuperation of 600 kW and a top speed of over 300 km/h. The upcoming “GEN3 Evo” significantly boosts performance before the next major technological step takes place with GEN4, which aims for a power output of up to 600 kW and a regenerative capacity of up to 700 kW.
