Porsche is the first manufacturer to unveil its 2023 Formula E package designed to the specifications of the all-electric series' new Gen3 regulations.
Porsche's new 99X is the car on which the Stuttgart firm is pinning its hopes of finally emerging as a consistent front-runner in FE after three seasons as a lower-tier contender.
It's been a rocky start however for the manufacturer's Gen3 machine, with pre-season testing hampered by issues impacting the car's Williams Advanced Engineering-designed battery.
"The tests over the past few weeks were demanding and challenging, but they allowed us to make some promising pre-season progress," said Porsche team principal Florian Modlinger.
On the driver front, Pascal Wehrlein has been joined by Porsche newcomer Antonio Felix da Costa who has spent the last couple of weeks getting acquainted with his new team.
"Our new car is a big step forward. It’s lighter and more powerful than its predecessor – that alone brings a smile to a racing driver’s face," said da Costa.
"As a newcomer to Porsche team, I’ve used the last few weeks to get to know the engineers and mechanics and to find my place in the squad. The team has made it very easy for me. I felt comfortable right from the get-go.
"I also get along well with my new team-mate Pascal, whom I’ve raced against in various series. We have a common goal, namely to bring Porsche to the top.
"Porsche is a brand synonymous with victories. We want to deliver those as quickly as possible with the new Porsche 99X Electric Gen3."
