Recharge Wrap-up: 62-mph electric scooter, Porsche eyes Formula E battery deal

Porsche is reportedly looking to supply Formula E with battery technology. As it works on its Mission E electric car, the automaker is also seeking to show off its new batteries, which it says will have 800-volt charging capability, supplying many miles of range in just a few minutes. If the FIA were to accept Porsche's application to be the sole battery supplier for Formula E from 2018 onward, this would go a long way toward showcasing its Mission E tech without actually fielding a team. Motorsport reports that independent consultants hired by FIA to choose a battery supplier are reviewing the application. An announcement is expected soon. Read more from Motorsport, or at Electrek. The Moneghette electric scooter offers 62 miles of range at speeds of up to 62 mph. Designer Eduard Bockaj built the zippy e-scooter for himself, and is building more to order, but only for residents of Monaco. With a 10-kW motor and a battery of unspecified capacity, the Moneghette weighs 99 pounds and can accommodate two riders. Check it out in the video above, and read more at Technologic Vehicles. Faraday Future has reportedly signed a $2.4 billion deal with LG Chem to supply battery cells. Using LG's cells, the startup plans to build the battery packs itself for electric vehicles built on its Variable Platform Architecture. According to The Korea Herald, which reported the leaked details of the deal, the supply agreement was reached back in August. Electrek notes that such a sum could represent enough cells to build battery packs for about 200,000 vehicles. Read more at Electrek, or from The Korea Herald.

Experience Daytona in 27,894 photos

This "video" of the 24 Hours of Daytona is composed from tens of thousands of individual photographs that have been put together into an intriguing but jolty moving picture show. The project was shot at the 24 Hours of Daytona. It was commissioned by Porsche from photographers Camden Trasher and Zach Miller, who pieced it together from no less than 27,894 photographs they shot at the sports car racing season opener in Florida in January. Porsche has won the Daytona endurance race more than any other manufacturer, with 18 overall wins to its name – way ahead of second-place Riley whose Daytona prototypes have dominated the race in recent history with 10 wins from 2005 through 2015. This year an LMP2 prototype built by Ligier and powered by Honda won for the first time, with the Corvette team dominating the GT categories. Porsches came in third in GTLM and second in the GTD class. Related Video:

2014 Porsche Cayenne Platinum Edition is the ace of base

If there's one automaker that certainly doesn't skimp on the special edition models, it's Porsche, and here at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show, we're getting our first look at yet another unique take on one of the company's most popular models. It's called the Cayenne Platinum Edition, and while many special models build off of higher-trim vehicles, this one adds a bit of flair to the most basic version of the luxury SUV.
The Platinum Edition is available on Cayennes with the base 3.6-liter V6 or the 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Platinum models are set apart from other models with the addition of silver exterior accents on the grilles, window trim and rear spoiler, as well as the two-tone, black-and-beige interior scheme. It also comes standard with the eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission, Power Steering Plus, Park Assist, the Convenience Package and Bose audio.
The cost of entry? $63,000 for the naturally aspirated Cayenne or $66,900 for the diesel. That's a full $13,000 more than the base model, but Porsche says it's actually a bargain as opposed to selecting all of those options individually. Have a look below for Porsche's official release.
