The electric touring racecar CUPRA e-Racer drives for the first time on a race track

  • Tests on the track confirm the successful integration of the batteries with the rest of the car’s elements
  • The battery pack on the e-Racer is made up of 6,072 round cell batteries, equivalent to a battery for 9,000 mobile phones
 CUPRA has taken the e-Racer to a race track in Zagreb (Croatia) to test-drive the integration of the electric battery pack with the rest of the vehicle for the first time.

Every electrical, electronic, battery, cooling and propulsion system had previously been tested individually.  All the elements were integrated for the first time and their operation tested together on the track in Zagreb, with very optimistic results for the CUPRA team.

During the days of testing, the heat conditions of the track confirmed that the CUPRA e-Racer is ready to tackle the challenges of competition. The initial tests yielded very positive conclusions.
