"There’s a new development for us in Gen3, with Andretti Autosport and taking a further two slots for Porsche power on the grid," said Laudenbach. Laudenbach also touched on the importance of Porsche's tie-in with another legendary name in the industry in Andretti - with Avalanche Andretti Autosport set to run Porsche powertrains from Season 9. Expanding Porsche's footprint on the grid should help accelerate its progress as data and information during the infancy of Gen3 - a key stage of development - will effectively be doubled with the track-time of an additional pair of powertrains inside those Andretti cars.

The car is the culmination of approaching two years' work for the TAG Heuer Porsche Formula E Team and Porsche Motorsport, with the Stuttgart car giant and legendary motorsport name pouring large resource into what is a flagship sporting programme for the company - especially key as Porsche aims for an 80% EV share of all its road models sold come 2025.
