Formule E: Porsche 9XX Electric GEN3 Evo (2024)
Porsche 9XX Electric GEN3 Evo is an updated third generation version of Porsche’s all-electric open-wheel Formula E race car. The key technical innovations comprise activation of the drive on the front wheels, higher grip tyres, and a modified front wing.
Per the regulations, the available energy is restricted. This forces the teams and their drivers to optimise the efficiency of the cars across all areas. Components developed by the manufacturer were allowed to be changed for the GEN3 Evo.

The evolution model is primarily recognisable by its modified front wing. The new form should make it more stable, enabling it to withstand contact better. Further modifications to the cladding were made behind the roll bar and in front of the rear wheels.
Higher performance tyres from exclusive supplier Hankook will help the Formula E cars reach even higher speeds in the new season. To reduce the footprint, each car will still only have two sets of tyres available per race weekend (three sets for double headers). The tyre profile makes the tyres suitable for both dry and wet conditions.
From now on, front-wheel drive may be engaged in the qualifying duels, during race starts, and during Attack Mode. With the temporary all-wheel drive, the car is even quicker. The Porsche 99X Electric can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in around two seconds. Making the engagement of front-wheel drive as efficient as possible represents another technical challenge, with the lessons learned also benefitting Porsche’s road cars.
The homologation of the manufacturer components is valid for two seasons. The Porsche 9XX Electric GEN3 Evo is designed to compete in seasons 2024/2025 and 2025/2026. The fourth generation racer, GEN4, is set to be introduced for Season 13 (2026/2027).
