At the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2022, Porsche demonstrated the potential of its new 718 Cayman GT4 e-Performance 100 % electric car. It was equipped with MICHELIN tyres made from 53% sustainable materials. Indeed, we have reached a new milestone by increasing the proportion of bio-based and recycled materials in the tyres we supply to Porsche. This is a significant advance, which goes hand in hand with the performance and safety of Michelin's competition tyres.
Together, we generate innovative solutions and concepts and, in this way, shapes the mobility of the future, initiated in 2019 as part of our collaboration in FIA Formula E World Championship (inspired by our involvement in FIA Formula E from 2014 to 2022) and extended with the launch of electric vehicles such as the Porsche Taycan.
By 2050 Michelin will manufacture all its tyres exclusively from sustainable materials. Porsche's future electric racing programme will also enable Michelin to test sustainable solutions in real race conditions. The French manufacturer's ambition is to accelerate the development and transfer of technological innovations to future tyres for electric vehicles. This allows Michelin to express its expertise and innovation potential.
Provide an impeccable service to its demanding clientele of premium cars is a key mission for Porsche and Michelin. There is a common will to shaping future-oriented mobility in a sustainable, environmentally friendly, and efficient manner. Porsche’s motto: "driving technologies” gives a nod to its development of mobility solutions on one hand while also highlighting its drive to advance technologies on the other.
