Porsche has detailed its GEN4 975 RSE development, quoting up to 600kW and 1.8-second acceleration to 100km/h.
An electric race car taking shape
Porsche is developing the GEN4 975 RSE for the next Formula E technical era. Its programme at Weissach builds on the experience of the 99X Electric competition cars.
The 975 RSE is a race project rather than a new road-car model. Its published figures describe the intended competition specification and should not be applied to any production Porsche.
A sharp change in performance
Porsche quotes maximum power of 600kW and a top speed of 335km/h for the new generation. The company also states a 0–100km/h time of 1.8 seconds.
These are manufacturer-reported figures for the racing platform, not independent tests of a delivered road vehicle. They offer context for how Formula E’s technical rules have evolved.
Development at Weissach
The engineering programme draws on earlier electric competition experience and feedback from factory drivers. Nico Müller is among those involved in evaluating the new design and its systems.
Motorsport projects go through testing and refinement before a competitive season. The final performance under race conditions will depend on the completed package and applicable series rules.
Technology as part of luxury lifestyle
Collectors and performance enthusiasts who also enjoy yachting may follow the engineering even without entering the racing world. It reflects a wider interest in high-power electric systems, although marine propulsion has different operational requirements.
The original Porsche technical report and its specific official image support this feature. No claim is made that the race car’s components are immediately available for yachts or road cars.
