The Porsche GT4 e-Performance is an all-electric version of the Porsche Cayman 718 GT4, the car was unveiled last year and we previously saw a video of it in action at the Race of Champions in Sweden, and now we have another video of the car.
This time the car takes on the Laguna Seca Raceway at the Rennsport Reunion 7 and we get to see this electric-powered Cayman in action on the track, let’s find out how it performs.
The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 e-Performance stands as a prototype, paving the way for future innovations. Drawing parallels with the Mission R, this all-wheel-drive racing marvel utilizes the chassis derived from the well-established 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport model. Further accentuating its prowess, the electric motor and battery systems have been sourced directly from the IAA conceptual study.
When switched to qualification mode, this powerhouse can unleash an astonishing output of up to 735 kW (1,000 PS) or even beyond. During simulated race conditions, it consistently delivers a solid 450 kW (612 PS) for a span of 30 minutes, mirroring the duration typical of a Carrera Cup race. When assessed for lap times and peak speeds, the 718 Cayman GT4 e-Performance confidently matches the benchmarks set by the contemporary 992-generation 911 GT3 Cup.
