The Mission R is the first step towards a purely electric customer motorsport vehicle. The development of Porsche's own, all-electric customer racing platform is another logical step towards a sustainable future in motorsport. Porsche is the most successful brand in customer motorsport. The current figures speak for themselves: 30 one-make cups worldwide with up to 500 participants, more than 4.400 cup vehicles produced based on 911s. This makes the 911 Cup the most popular racing car in the world. The Carrera Cup Germany has existed for 31 years. In addition, 13 local support programs for young drivers are currently running.
innovative racing laboratory
At Porsche, motorsport not only stands for enthusiasm, but also for innovative strength and the courage to go your own way: The sports car manufacturer is currently testing bio-based, renewable fuels for use in series production in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup (details see separate chapter on sustainability). With the hybrids, Porsche will fight for overall victories in the new LMDh category (so-called hypercars) at long-distance classics such as Le Mans and Daytona, also with synthetic fuels. And Porsche has been taking part in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship with a works team since 2023.
Technology transfer from motorsport to series production
Motorsport benefits every Porsche driver. After all, race tracks are important development laboratories for brand technologies, for example for electromobility. No automotive company lives a more intensive exchange of technology between motorsport and production vehicles than Porsche. The brand traditionally uses racing as a test laboratory in which innovative solutions have to prove themselves under the toughest conditions. In every current Porsche there is therefore more racing-proven technology than ever before. Lightweight bodies and driver environment, chassis and drives are direct results of this guiding principle at Porsche.
The long-term, future-oriented orientation of this strategy becomes clear in the development of electromobility at Porsche. For some time now, the core components and control algorithms of the electric drive have been the focus of technology testing on the racetrack. In 2010, Porsche almost achieved a sensation with the promising 911 GT3 R Hybrid: this GT3 with a six-cylinder engine in the rear and two electric motors on the front axle is in the lead up to two hours before the finish. Instead of the battery common in hybrid road vehicles, an electric flywheel storage device supplies the energy for the electric motors. Depending on the racing situation, the hybrid drive can be used in a performance or consumption-oriented manner.
The findings from the 911 GT3 R Hybrid flow directly into the development of the 918 Spyder, which will cause a sensation from 2013. The technological key of the super sports car is the drive concept consisting of a high-performance combustion engine in combination with two electric machines. The operating strategy is one of the core competencies of the 918 Spyder - and of Porsche. It optimally takes into account the different requirements between an efficiency-oriented driving profile on the one hand and maximum performance on the other.
The 918 Hybrid is created with the know-how from the 919 Spyder. The LMP1 racing car, which has won the Le Mans 2015-hour race three times in a row from 24, proves the robustness of the components and the intelligence of the control strategy. This in turn benefits the plug-in hybrid drive of today's series models. In addition, the race engineers are doing pioneering work for improved batteries and for the 800-volt network of the Taycan: What works in the race can also survive in everyday life.
