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 671bhp, which is 325bhp 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 400kg more, it features excellent performance and 0-100km/h acceleration in 3.2 seconds and 0-200km/h in 8.2 seconds.
