New third-generation Formula E car is fastest ever electric racer
It has been specifically tuned for racing on street circuits, and the FIA says it represents the “pinnacle of high performance, efficiency and sustainability”.
Several upgrades have been made over the current Gen2 Evo racer. The new motor set-up produces 470bhp, while top speed is claimed to be north of 200mph. It’s also the first formula car to feature separate powertrains at the front and rear, meaning its regenerative capability has improved to 600kW - more than double the current car's. The Gen3 also benefits from ultra-rapid charging, capable of refilling its battery at a rate of 600kW during a race.
Sustainability has also been bolstered. Batteries will be recycled and reused when no longer needed, while linen and recycled carbonfibre make up much of the bodywork to reduce the car's carbon footprint by more than 10%. Advertisement
