Ahead of Saturday’s season-opening Mexico City E-Prix, it’s been reported by Formula E Notebook (FEN) that the Abt Cupra Formula
Abt Cupra, the customer team of Mahindra’s Gen3 powertrain in Formula E, has decided to end their relationship with Mahindra due to their weak performance. Abt Cupra is now in talks with several manufacturers, including Porsche, for a new powertrain supplier for Seasons 11 and 12. Porsche is open to the idea of supplying a second customer team, despite the increased workload. An alternative option would be for Cupra, the title sponsor, to become a Formula E powertrain supplier, but they may not have enough time to develop their own powertrain. Abt driver Lucas di Grassi supports the idea of Cupra partnering with Porsche, as it would create healthy competition within the team.
