Porsche to utilise eFuel at Rennsport Reunion 7

Porsche Cars North America has announced that eFuels will be used in both road and race cars at Rennsport Reunion 7 when it kicks off come 28 September 2023 at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca.

This move will mark the first time synthetic fuel is used in Porsche vehicles at a large-scale event in the U.S.A. The eFuels will be used to power various Porsche demo lap vehicles appearing on the track, as well as the Cayennes that will be used to transport media guests to and from local hotels. The fuel will additionally be utilised to power the prototype 356 number one.

The Porsche eFuel is made from water and carbon dioxide using renewable energy and can power combustion engines, enabling their mostly net CO₂ neutral use. Porsche and other international partners have entered into a collaboration with eFuels firm HIF to open a pilot plant in Punta Arenas, Chile, which began producing synthetic fuel in late 2022.
