Porsche Mission R working EV race car concept

"...it can regenerate at 800 kilowatts..."
"The plan for the Mission R is that it has the same performance as a 911 GT3 Cup car not just lap times but endurance. It promises to be able to race flat out for 30 to 40 minutes."

read a review of it in evo magazine. Apparently it's so loud inside, you need ear plugs. Would love to hear what that sounds like.

EDIT: watched video, yep loud indeed lol

The layout of the course is going to have a large effect on battery life. You have a track with no elevation changes, vs same layout with two short uphill acceleration zones you are dramatically changing demand.

Technically impressive but just leaves me cold in terms of emotion. EV racing might be the future just as EVs are the future of road vehicles but it's just not going to be as cool or exciting without the ICE soundtrack. Hopefully we will still see some 'vintage/heritage' style ICE racing events continue on into the future in the vein of the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
