Abt Cupra will split from powertrain partner Mahindra at the end of the current ABB Formula E season, the team confirmed ahead of the season-opening Mexico City E-Prix, its 100th race in the series…
Abt Cupra, a team in the ABB Formula E series, will end its partnership with powertrain partner Mahindra at the conclusion of the current season. The decision comes after a lackluster season in which the team failed to achieve a podium finish. Abt Cupra is currently in negotiations to secure a replacement supplier, with a decision expected to be made in February or early March. The team’s late decision to return to the series last season played a role in not being able to secure a deal with Porsche, another Volkswagen brand. While Cupra will not supply a powertrain in the short-term, the possibility remains open for the future.
