Reaching a strong worldwide audience with the luxury cars it produces, Porsche is partnering with Audi, another important name in the automotive world, in this regard.
Volkswagen will put a stop to the troubles in electric cars!
According to the statement made by Volkswagen, the company will increase the maximum range of the MEB EV platform to 700 km.
Porsche and Audi to enter Formula 1 in 2026
The International Automobile Federation (FIA) recently announced new engine rules designed to attract new manufacturers to this sport, which will come into force in 2026. Volkswagen Group CEO Herbert Diess said this is an opportunity for F1 that has been desired for years.
Of course, the partnership has not gone further than a so-called statement yet. Information about Porsche and Audi’s own F1 race car has already been a matter of curiosity. So much so that it is unknown whether the partnership will create a new brand or launch a new vehicle under someone’s name. On the other hand, according to some rumors, a Red Bull F1 car powered by a Porsche hybrid powertrain may be on the tracks in 2026.
In fact, this partnership took many by surprise. Because the duo, who are in a secret race with very large budget investments in luxury cars, wanted to enter the world of Formula 1 together as an unexpected situation.
On the other hand, the adventure of Formula 1 continues at full speed. The fifth race of the season will be held on May 8 in Miami. In the past months, it was said that the Russian Grand Prix was excluded from the fixture. So much so that Turkey was pointed out as the most important candidate for this race that will take place in September. However, nothing has been clarified yet.
