“I have long believed in electric racing and that is why it will be really rewarding to take on this important role at EPWR, explains the Swede. A concept like PWR 002 involves a racing car that is exciting and challenging to drive, something that will deliver spectacular racing. The difference with today's racing cars is huge in terms of performance and a low center of gravity due to batteries”

“We are excited to continue our successful relationship with Mikaela and take it to a new level related to EPWR in 2022 and beyond,” said Daniel Haglöf, founder of EPWR. Mikaela has extensive experience of many different racing cars and in particular electric racing cars, which is vital to her role in the EPWR project. »

This collaboration could extend to competition in 2023. “The current objective for me is mainly to validate the development that has been done and to ensure that the technical parts work in the extreme conditions that the race involves. I am also happy that there is already now a common goal to race with PWR Racing in 2023 and beyond”, Explain Mikaela Åhlin-Kottulinsky.

Previously driven and tested the PWR001, I've now been given the honor to test the PWR002 prototype car during 2022 🚙🤩
Happy to be part of this project and future electric series! I bet PWR002 will feel like a rocket out on track! 🚀https://t.co/R6DQxeEHHA pic.twitter.com/8i3B9hDCyi
