Successful Tests With the New Porsche 99X Electric Gen3

Preparations for season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship are in full swing. The TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team has been testing the new Porsche 99X Electric on various racetracks.

In preparation for the start of the season in Mexico City on January 14, 2023, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team gained important insights during test drives at various tracks, most recently at the Circuit de Calafat in the Spanish province of Tarragona. In season 9 of the world’s first electric racing series, the third-generation racing cars will be fielded for the first time.

This marks the beginning of a new era for Formula E. The new Gen3 cars, such as the Porsche 99X Electric Gen3, are the fastest, lightest, most powerful and most efficient electric race cars ever built. They have been designed explicitly for gripping wheel-to-wheel duels on tight city circuits.

“There’s a sense of excitement and anticipation in the air heading into our fourth season of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship,” says Florian Modlinger, Director of Factory Motorsport Formula E. “The cards are being reshuffled with the new Gen3 cars. All teams are at the same technical level. That’s a guarantee of exciting and fiercely contested races.”

He stated that it was great to see the Porsche 99X Electric Gen3 on the track and to work with the new factory driver António Félix da Costa, who has been testing various circuits since joining the team in mid-August.

“The tests over the past few weeks were demanding and challenging,” says Florian Modlinger, “but they allowed us to make some promising pre-season progress. For the most part, we completed our programmes as planned and gained important insights to continue working on our car.”

The new Porsche 99X Electric will be unveiled on November 7 at the Porsche Experience Centre in Franciacorta.

Pascal Wehrlein can hardly wait: “I’m very excited to see our new car decked out in its new design,” he says. António Félix da Costa, the 2019/2020 Formula E champion who joined the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E team in August, is excited for the season to begin: “I’m looking forward to finally getting started and achieving success with this team.”

After the world premiere of the Porsche 99X Electric Gen3, the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team enters the final preparation phase for season 9. All teams will attend the final rehearsal for the opening race on January 14 in Mexico City at the traditional Formula E preseason tests from 13 to December 16 in Valencia, Spain.
