Who will win Formula E Teams' and Manufacturers' World Championships? Porsche leads, but Nissan is close behind
TAG Heuer Porsche drivers Antonio Felix Da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein (Image credit: Porsche) Nissan's Oliver Rowland has sealed the FIA Drivers' World Championship, but the fight for the ultimate team and manufacturer championships is still on. Thanks to TAG Heuer Porsche drivers Pascal Wehrlein and Antonio Felix da Costa, the team is currently leading in both categories — but Nissan is not far behind. Just one good race could be enough for Nissan to snatch the lead from Porsche at the upcoming London double-header. Who is winning the Teams' World Championship 2025? There isn't much of a gap between the two powerhouse manufacturers — Nissan and TAG Heuer Porsche. In the FIA Teams' Championship, TAG Heuer Porsche leads with 228 points, but Nissan is hot on their heels with 205 points. Porsche has demonstrated strong performance throughout the season, with Antonio Felix da Costa and Pascal Wehrlein contributing to nine podium finishes, including a win for Wehrlein in Miami and three pole positions. Nissan has also been doing well, thanks to Oliver Rowland's championship-winning performance. He contributed 184 of Nissan's total 205 points. His teammate, Norman Nato, skipped the Berlin E-Prix but will be returning in London to compete for the team. In third place is DS Penske, followed by Jaguar TCS Racing and NEOM McLaren. In sixth place is Mahindra Racing, followed by Andretti in seventh and Maserati in eighth in the Teams' Standings. Who is winning the Manufacturers' World Championship 2025? The FIA Manufacturers' World Championship was introduced this season and currently has Porsche at the top of the standings with 342 points. Their success in this category is bolstered by the contributions of their customer teams — Andretti and CUPRA Kiro. Nissan is close behind in second position with 335 points, having benefited from the performance of its customer team, NEOM McLaren. Jaguar follows in third but is far behind with 279 points.

Here's what the Porsche Carrera GT could have looked like
Here's what the Porsche Carrera GT could have looked like In the late 1990s sketches were being drawn up at Porsche for a mid-engined V10 coupe Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. Well, this is rather fun. The sketch above shows what the Porsche Carrera GT could have looked like if it was a tin-topped, V10-engined supercar. The sketch was shown off in one of Porsche's YouTube videos, with actor Adrien Brody heading to Stuttgart to undertake an internship at the Zuffenhausen factory. Advertisement - Page continues below It's a heartwarming watch if you've got half an hour spare today, or you could skip to the 13-minute mark to see Brody meet Porsche's director of special projects, Grant Larson. Larson – who joined Porsche as a designer back in 1989 and penned the original 986 Boxster – explains that back in 1999 he was asked by the Carrera GT's project manager to come up with some ideas for a mid-engined V10 supercar. Must have been a fun few days at work after that. The sketch we're shown clearly takes some inspiration from the 911 GT1 in the roof to rear spoiler section. Looks like there would have been a hefty roof scoop, plus a dramatic ducktail-style spoiler and a giant rear diffuser section. And are those giant portrait exhausts? We love the Carrera GT, but this coupe could have been quite something. It's not too late, Porsche.

Builder wins £75k Porsche for 6p
Michael Barton is a mad Liverpool FC fan - so the colour of his Porsche is perfect | BOTB This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. When a baby's on the way, buying competition tickets might not be top priority – but this 6p flutter landed builder Michael Barton a £75k Porsche 911 Convertible and a life-changing surprise.

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... When Michael Barton, from Harlow, entered a 6p competition to win a Porsche 911 Convertible, his partner wasn't very pleased. And a few nights later she dreamed he'd won a shopping trolley. With a baby on the way, entering a prize draw might have been at the bottom of her priority list, but she soon apologised, because Michael's name was plucked from the draw and the £75,000 car was delivered to his building site as a complete surprise. Michael, from Harlow in Essex, was busy working on a house extension when Katie Knight, a presenter for the prize draw firm BOTB, turned up with the keys. 'I'm absolutely shaking,' said the 39-year-old. 'Nothing like this ever happens to me. It's amazing. It couldn't have come at a better time – we've got a baby due in four weeks. It's a very exciting time for us.' Michael was surprised by Katie Knight, a presenter from BOTB | BOTB The 911, finished in bright red, was an especially sweet win for the Liverpool fan. 'I couldn't have picked a better colour – this is a bit of me!' he said, grinning as he sat inside and revved the engine. 'The whole experience has been surreal. I've seen videos of other winners online and thought I would give it a go. "I'm a hardworking man, and the past few months I've really been hoping something good would happen.' Despite falling in love with the Porsche, Michael told Katie he's likely to take the cash alternative and put it towards a deposit for a new house. Michael's family was in on the surprise - and they helped him celebrate his life-changing win | BOTB 'This is going to help me progress to the next stage of where I want to be in my life,' he added. Katie said: 'Michael's reaction was just brilliant – total disbelief and so much excitement. 'It's a stunning car and such a head-turner, but with a baby on the way, I completely understand why he might take the cash. Either way, it's an incredible prize for just 6p!' The latest grand prize on offer is brand new house worth £725,000 in Dorset with tickets priced at just 99p. To find out more about the prizes on offer, click here.
