After the start of the Gen3 era in the 2022 season, it is now time for a new generation of cars in Formula E. Today, Formula E together with the FIA unveiled the new car: the GEN3 Evo.
What has changed about the car?
Numerous changes have been made to the Gen3 cars to make them even faster and more durable. For example, the new GEN3 Evo is currently the fastest accelerating FIA single-seater race car, with a top speed of 321 km/h. Faster, in other words, than F1.
The GEN3 Evo can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.86 seconds. The car is faster, more powerful and more agile, thanks to performance upgrades that deliver an estimated 2% performance gain over the GEN3.
In terms of durability, many changes have also been made. The GEN3 Evo is the most efficient formula car ever, with an electric motor achieving over 90% efficiency. This is significantly higher than the typical 40% efficiency for internal combustion engines.
It is also the world’s first carbon-neutral race car in the world’s first carbon-neutral sport.
“The FIA and Formula E have worked hard on the development process of this new GEN3 Evo race car, which represents another significant leap forward in electric racing technology,” said Mohammed Ben Sulayem, president of the FIA, about the new generation.
Jeff Dodds, director of Formula E, is also excited about the future this car will bring. “With unprecedented acceleration and advanced aerodynamic design, the car I was privileged to unveil in Monaco is poised to intensify the excitement of our racing and captivate our drivers and fans around the world with truly superior capabilities and performance.”
