Blink, and you will miss it; Formula E has unveiled the latest evolution of the GEN3 Evo challenger, accelerating 30 percent faster than the current F1 car and 36 percent faster than its predecessor, bringing racing performance to a new level.
H.S.H Prince Albert II’s Private Car Collection in Monte Carlo, Monaco, saw the ABB Formula E World Championship and the Federation Internationale de l’Automobile(FIA) presentation of the latest GEN3 EVO, the currently quickest accelerating FIA single-seater on the planet.
Jeff Dodds, Chief Executive Officer of Formula E, commented: “The GEN3 Evo heralds a ground-breaking chapter in the evolution of Formula E, embodying our dedication to innovation and high performance achieved sustainably.”
“Featuring unprecedented acceleration and an advanced aerodynamic design, the car that I had the honor of unveiling in Monaco is set to intensify the thrill of our racing, captivating our drivers and fans around the world with truly superior capabilities and performance,” he added.

Furthermore, a new feature, the all-wheel drive (AWD), maximizing acceleration and control, will be available during qualifying duels, race starts, and ATTACK MODE from next season.
