Safety Car

Porsche Sixt Carrera Cup Deutschland

For six years already, Carrera Cup Deutschland is relying on electric performance for its Safety-Car. For the 2025 the Porsche Taycan Turbo S is used as the leading vehicle on behalf of race control.

Taycan Turbo S

The Taycan got modernized extensively with a sharpened design, more performance, longer range and further improved charging performance. Several factors contribute to the simultaneous increase in performance and efficiency: an advanced drive train with a new rear axle engine, a modified pulse inverter with optimized software, more powerful batteries, a revised thermal concept, a next-generation heat pump and an optimized recuperation and all-wheel drive strategy.

Race control is relying on electrifying performance and, if necessary, sends the Taycan Turbo S onto the track as the lead vehicle. With an overboost output of up to 700 kW (952 hp) and all-wheel drive, the Taycan Turbo S accelerates from a standstill to a speed of 100 km/h in 2.4 seconds. The top speed is 260 km/h – perfect to confidently fulfill the role of safety car.

* All new vehicles offered by Porsche are type-approved according to WLTP. Official NEDC values derived from WLTP values are no longer available for new vehicles as of 1 January 2023 and can therefore not be provided.

Where values are indicated as ranges, they do not refer to a single, specific vehicle and are not part of the offered product range. They are only for the purposes of comparison between different vehicle tyrpes. Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, tyre formats etc.) can change relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. These factors, in addition to weather, traffic conditions and driving behaviour, can influence the fuel/electricity consumption, CO₂ emissions, range and performance values of a vehicle.

More information about the differences between WLTP and NEDC is available at www.porsche.com/wltp.
