In one of the more sensational stories of recent years in Formula E, Porsche has committed to entering a second factory team for the 2026-27 season and the start of the Gen4 era

Porsche will become the first manufacturer to run four factory cars in Formula E by adding a surprise new ‘junior’ works team for the 2026-27 season.

"We are reshuffling and reallocating the programme. This means, at the moment [in 2025-26] we have six Porsche 99X Electrics on the grid, and two are operated by customer teams.

“In season 13, we will operate four cars with two teams out of Weissach [Porsche’s development centre] and the target for us is to have two [cars] on the customer side.”

Porsche is believed to be close to confirming Cupra Kiro as its now sole customer team for the 2026-27 campaign
