CUPRA e-Racer welcomes the E TCR series

CUPRA welcomes a brand new experience to the world of motorsport – the #etcrseries, the first ever electric, multi-brand touring car championship.

The participation of the e-Racer model in some of the TCR events during the 2018 season is currently being considered, with the aim of evaluating its potential compared to the petrol powered TCR racing cars.

The ultimate goal is to achieve the best fine tuning possible that will lead the E TCR to become a self-contained championship in 2019.

This CUPRA e-Racer is the first touring car that complies with the requirements for competing in the new E TCR. The engines are located over the rear axle and deliver up to 500 kW (680 horsepower), which is 242 kW (330 hp) more than usual on the petrol fuelled CUPRA TCR version, and it is also equipped with an energy recovery system. Compared to the conventionally powered CUPRA TCR, despite weighing 400 kilos more, it features excellent performance and 0 to 100 km/h acceleration in 3.2 seconds and 0 to 200 km/h in 8.2 seconds.
