Porsche has solidified its position as a dominant force in electric motorsport by clinching both the manufacturers' and drivers' titles in the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for the second year running.

This latest success follows their triumph in the previous season, marking a significant achievement for the German manufacturer. In the drivers' category, Porsche works driver Pascal Wehrlein secured his second world championship title. His performance throughout the season included three race victories, six podium finishes, and four pole positions, demonstrating exceptional skill and consistency.

Porsche's customer team, Andretti, with driver Jake Dennis, finished the season in second place overall, further highlighting Porsche's strong presence in the series. The Porsche 99X Electric racing car has been particularly successful in the current GEN3 era of Formula E, capturing six out of ten world championship titles contested. Combined, Porsche's works and customer teams have achieved a total of 23 victories.

The company views Formula E as a crucial proving ground for its electric vehicle technology. Innovations and data gathered from the demanding race environment are directly fed into the development of future production sports cars, creating a synergistic relationship between motorsport and road-car engineering.

Beyond performance, Porsche also engages in social responsibility initiatives through its 'Racing for Charity' campaign. For every lap completed by its works team cars, Porsche donates 400 euros, accumulating a total of 449,200 euros to date, which is allocated to supporting children with serious illnesses. Porsche also expanded its technological reach by supplying the 99X electric technology to three teams this season: its own factory team, the Andretti customer team, and Cupra-TEK.

Porsche is using Formula E as a test bed for electric vehicle technology. The technical foundation derived from electrification technology and data accumulated in races leads to technologies that can also be utilized in the development of future mass-produced sports cars.
