Porsche Formula E car pushes boundaries

05 Feb Porsche Formula E car pushes boundaries

(Oilandgaspress) -] – The development of Porsche’s future Formula E race car is in full swing as the new all-electric single-seater, which has been built to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s fourth vehicle regulations, has been testing since November.

With 600 kW (816 PS) of power, permanent all-wheel drive, new tyres and significantly increased downforce, the so-called GEN4 delivers the biggest performance leap seen in the championship to date. The real boundaries, however, are being pushed by vehicle components developed in-house by Porsche. Despite an extended service life, they are designed to be lighter, deliver higher performance and reduce costs at the same time. Until October, Porsche Motorsport will continue to develop what is its most extensive hardware package for Formula E to date. Thereafter, the focus will shift to the continuous optimisation of the software. In many respects, the development cycles in the race series mirror those for Porsche sports cars – albeit under extreme conditions.

Porsche’s in-house developments to date already include the operating software, pulse inverter, electric motor, gearbox, differential, drive shafts and other drivetrain components on the rear axle, as well as cooling, carrier and suspension components at the rear.
