The first of the third-generation Formula E contenders has been revealed. Here’s the PorscheFormulaE 99X -
Florian Modlinger, Director Factory Motorsport Formula E, said: 'The new Gen3 vehicles, including our Porsche 99X Electric Gen3, will hopefully make the races even more spectacular for fans and give the popularity of Formula E worldwide even more of a boost.'
New on the 99X is a smaller battery but thanks to advances in cell technology, it holds more capacity than before. As a result, weight is lower, with the wheelbase shortened and the track narrower than before for increased agility. Perhaps the most significant change is to output, with power rising from 335bhp to a potent 469bhp from its new Porsche Motorsport-developed powertrain.
Though not particularly relevant to spectators, the Porsche 99X will also be able to take advantage of Formula E’s new ‘ultra-high-speed’ charging infrastructure, capable of adding up to 600kW of energy – for reference, the most powerful public chargers for road cars can currently output 350kW.The design is somewhat divisive, intended to appeal to a 'young audience' with its angular aesthetic and open-wheel format.
This being Formula E, sustainability is also a high priority, with the third generation cars utilising battery cells made from sustainably sourced minerals, and each of these reused or recycled once the season is over. Even the carbonfibre bodywork helps to reduce Formula E’s carbon footprint, with each car featuring recycled materials from retired Gen2 racers.
