Together, they form Porsche’s new pairing for the 2025/26 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
Müller spent the last season hustling a Porsche 99X Electric at Andretti, learning the subtleties of Weissach’s electric racecraft before taking the keys to the works car. He succeeds António Félix da Costa, whose contributions over three seasons helped propel the project forward.
Wehrlein needs little introduction. Drivers’ World Champion in 2023/24, he’s been a Porsche fixture since 2020, the cool-headed assassin who reads energy numbers like sheet music. Müller joined the factory roster in 2024, and while last season wasn’t exactly a joyride, he calls it “instructive”.
While everyone fights the here-and-now of GEN3, both drivers are already deep in simulator work for GEN4, the next-generation car promising more than 600kW and a new performance ceiling.
First physical laps happen before year-end, with pre-season testing in Valencia from 27–30 November, then São Paulo on 6 December to light the blue touchpaper.
Florian Modlinger, who runs Porsche’s factory Formula E effort, wanted an experienced hand who could “jump in the car as seamlessly as possible.” Porsche heads into its seventh season of Formula E carrying the weight of reigning Teams’ and Manufacturers’ titles.
Andretti continues with the latest-generation 99X Electric GEN3 Evo, while Cupra Kiro will run proven 99X hardware from the previous iteration. That ecosystem feeds Weissach’s learning loop, turning race-day stress into road-car progress.
Now it’s over to the men in the cockpit to play it perfectly, one regen hit and one qualifying lap at a time.
