Porsche GT4 e-Performance impresses at Watkins Glen
London, 21 July, 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Mechanics have just unplugged the charging cable from the 800 kW (1,088 PS) Porsche GT4 e-Performance. The 80 kWh battery is fully charged: more than ample for the brief time window of 20 minutes. The all-electric test vehicle is ready to roll. The only thing missing? The driver. Jörg Bergmeister was scheduled to do the demonstration laps, but the towering driver from Langenfeld, Germany, has yet to arrive in the US, the flight of the long-time works driver having been delayed due to inclement weather in the Düsseldorf region.The Michelin tyres, comprised of 63 per cent recycled materials, are building up more and more heat, and therefore traction. After four laps, the time is down to 1:47. General amazement ensues. And not only among the marshals.
In August, the car will take part in the Concours d’Elegance at Pebble Beach. The following months, the GT4 e-Performance will be one of the stars at the Rennsport Reunion in Laguna Seca. A second car that appeared at Hockenheim, among other places, as part of the festivities marking 75 Years of Porsche Sports Cars, will simultaneously travel to Asia and finally on to Australia. Schwab can hardly wait: “I’m already looking forward to seeing what kind of performance we will put in on our planned show runs on the legendary Bathurst circuit.”
