Porsche has committed to Formula E’s GEN4 ruleset for the 2026-27 season, following Nissan and Jaguar in signing up for the next generation of the all-electric series since joining during the GEN2 era in 2019. Vice president of Porsche Motorsport, Thomas Laudenbach, emphasized their long-term engagement with the series and their desire to contribute to its growth. This commitment dispels any rumors of Porsche’s potential departure from Formula E due to its ties to Formula 1, which Laudenbach downplays. Porsche will continue racing in the final two seasons of GEN3 alongside developing its GEN4 platform, managing resources efficiently between the two generations. Behind closed doors, Porsche and Formula E were already discussing GEN4 developments last year, highlighting Porsche’s focus on motorsport innovation and audience growth. Formula E CEO, Jeff Dodds, commends Porsche’s straightforward partnership approach, emphasizing mutual goals of technology advancement and motorsport expansion.
