London, July 19, 2025 , (Oilandgaspress) –––The comprehensively optimised one-make cup race car based on the current 992.2 generation of the 911 has already largely completed its development phase. The 911 Cup will be used in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and in selected Carrera Cup series from the start of the 2026 season.
Work on the new competition vehicle began at Porsche Motorsport in Weissach in January 2024. Like its predecessors, the 911 Cup once again combines series production technology with high-calibre motorsport attributes, transforming it more than ever into a thoroughbred racing car. Among other things, development focused on improving the aerodynamics of the front end, which has a positive effect on drivability. In addition, there are numerous improvements in areas such as safety and electronics, brakes, power transmission and the six-cylinder boxer engine, as well as vehicle handling. Michelin is once again the tyre partner.
The eFuel blend used in the 2025 Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup (PMSC) technically meets the new Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) Appendix J requirements for renewable (“Advanced Sustainable”) fuel and, with all combined CO₂ reduction measures*, corresponds to a total CO₂ equivalent reduction of 66% compared to a fossil fuel equivalent. The proportion of renewable components in this performance-specialised racing fuel blend is 79.7% by volume. The largest proportion of the components is renewable synthetic raw petrol, known as MtG (methanol-to-gasoline). Other blending components include renewable, waste-based or residual-based ethanol, which is used to increase the oxygen content in the fuel and the octane rating, among other things. The octance rating is 100.5 RON. The racing fuel blend was developed specifically for the boxer engines used in motor racing and combines high performance with the highest possible proportion of renewable blending components.
