Porsche presents two new Formula E safety cars
London, 07 May 2024, (Oilandgaspress): –The Porsche Taycan Turbo GT will be the new Formula E safety car. At the double header in Berlin on 11 and 12 May, the most powerful production Porsche of all time will assume the role of safety car in the all-electric world championship. The new Taycan was presented in February. The Turbo GT follows the Turbo S of 2019. Two variants will be the car on duty and the substitute car – with different features and in different colours.
The new Taycan has more power with a greater range and charges faster and more robustly. The Turbo GT has been at the top of the range since March: With record-breaking laps at the Nürburgring and Laguna Seca, it showcased its consistent circuit configuration. With the optional Weissach package, it can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.2 seconds and reach a top speed of 305 km/h (Taycan Turbo GT with Weissach package: Electric power consumption* combined (WLTP) 21.3 – 20.6 kWh/100 km, CO₂ emissions* combined (WLTP) 0 g/km, CO2 class A ). The Attack Mode, with temporary boosts of up to 120 kW of extra power, is based on the technology of the Porsche 99X Electric, the current world-championship-winning Formula E car.
