Porsche ends its title partnership with TAG Heuer and rebrands as the Porsche Formula E Team for Season 12, while retaining TAG Heuer as official timing partner.

The shift consolidates Porsche’s identity and reflects TAG Heuer’s broader commitment across Porsche Motorsport, rather than one programme.

Operationally, the structure remains stable, ensuring continuity as Porsche prepares its title defence in Formula E.

“We were partners since day one, and we continue as timing partner for the new season,” says TAG Heuer’s George Ciz.

TDK joins as a new on-car partner after McLaren’s exit from the championship, with branding placed on the powertrain cover.

The livery evolves rather than resets, adopting a matte finish while keeping familiar Porsche design cues.

Porsche starts Season 12 as reigning teams’ and manufacturers’ champion.

These commercial changes do not alter the technical package, but they strengthen resources and messaging around a stable, competitive programme.

Thomas Laudenbach credits collective effort for recent success and welcomes TDK as part of a refreshed partner mix.

Porsche’s streamlined branding aids clarity for fans and partners, supporting momentum in a fiercely contested electric series.

The programme sits within a wider landscape of motorsport categories, where cross-series branding strategies often mirror themes seen in F1 vs NASCAR comparisons.
