Formula E have unveiled the third generation of the car that the series will race with from the start of the 2023 season.
The next generation of Formula E car, which will be introduced into the series for the upcoming 2023 season, was presented in the principality ahead of this weekend’s Monaco EPrix.
The Gen3 car will be lighter than the current Formula E car, with a maximum power output of 350kW, capable of a top speed of over 320kph (200mph). It will feature two powertrains – one at the front and rear – which will more than double the regenerative potential of the car compared to the current model
The new car will also feature no rear hydraulic brakes due to an additional front powertrain with more energy in races generated under braking.
Formula E CEO, Jamie Reigle, says that third-generation car “represents a leap forward for motorsport and electric mobility.”
“Designed to demonstrate that high performance, efficiency and sustainability can be packaged together without compromise, the Gen3 car is our most powerful, lightest, and fastest race car to date,” said Reigle.”
FIA president Mohamed Ben Sulayem said the design establishes new standards “both technologically and environmentally.”
“I am delighted to see so many leading manufacturers already signed up to the championship’s next era and await Gen3’s competitive debut in season nine with great anticipation,” he added.
