It is hoped that Porsche’s continued presence in Formula E, where it competes using the 99X Electric, will help the company gain valuable insights for its electric production sports cars.

This is the fourth time and fourth continent that Porsche has secured an electric car lap record.

Aguero is one of several celebrities and influencers that will participate in the one-off race on March 5 and 6 at a variant of the Miami Grand Prix track.

Porsche has revealed its Formula E car for the next two seasons, switching from its traditional black, white and red livery to a new purple look.

The cherry blossom theme has been a fixture of Nissan’s livery since Season 9 of the championship two years ago.
