Porsche has announced plans to enter up to four cars (six including customer teams) in the 2026/2027 Formula E season (season 13). Porsche is the current Manufacturers' World Champion.
It was also announced that Porsche customer teams will be competing in Season 13.
The six planned Porsche 99X Electrics are next-generation GEN4 Formula E cars with an output of over 600kW, and are expected to be the most significant performance upgrade for a purely electric race car to date.
Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President Porsche Motorsport, said:
- Motorsport shapes the Porsche brand
- Porsche's history in traditional motorsport is unique and that spirit is reflected in every Porsche. We want to be able to say the same about electric motorsport in the future.
- "Compared to other racing series, Formula E offers a very attractive balance between the effort and the return. It also provides us with the opportunity to further develop the technical solutions that are important for mass-produced sports cars. With these operational changes, we hope to discover and develop new talent in all areas, not just drivers."
- The second team will also be based at the Porsche Development Centre in Weissach.
- When operating the additional machines, we would like to maintain as much independence as possible rather than simply expanding the current system.
- Next year marks the 75th anniversary of Porsche motorsport, and its history of success will now also be shaped by the story of electric motorsport.

Last month, Porsche withdrew from the hypercar class of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) at the end of this season,
- Formula E (ABB FIA Formula E World Championship)
- North American IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship
It was previously announced that they would be concentrating on these two areas, and this announcement shows that they are indeed putting their efforts into Formula E.
It's also the new team nameI hope Season 13 will be a great success!

I'm Rika, the author of this article. Since I got my hands on a Porsche 911, I've been completely hooked on Porsches and I can't stop loving them, so I started this blog. My favorite cars are the 911 Carrera (2/991), 911 Carrera Cabriolet & 911 Carrera T (1/992), GT3 (1/997) and 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
