GEN3 Evo
Evolution. Accelerated.
Developed by specialists from Formula E and the FIA, the latest GEN3 Evo edition marks a significant leap in electric racing technology, with acceleration 0-60mph 30% faster than a current F1 car, and 36% faster than the GEN3 car.
Capable of accelerating nearly a full second faster than its predecessor - the GEN3 - that was the world’s first race car designed for street racing, it sets an even higher standard in performance, sustainability, and efficiency. The GEN3 Evo serves as a formidable ambassador for the future of motorsport, embodying cutting-edge advancements and a commitment to environmental responsibility.
Progress never stops
GEN3: The car that redefined electric racing
Season 9 saw Formula E's third great leap and the GEN3 era, with the all-new GEN3 car, which was lighter, smaller, faster and more sustainable than what came before, and incorporated a number of cutting edge features set to inspire and inform major automotive manufacturers into their next moves in the consumer car market while showing there need not be compromise in an electric racing car. It was also the most efficient race car on the planet, at the time of conception, with some 40% of the energy it expends recaptured for use through the rear and a new front powertrain, for up to 600kW total energy regeneration.
Gen2: The final car swap
The Batmobile-esque all-electric racer pushed the boundaries with a huge jump in energy capacity, pace and performance kicked up a notch, too. Power output jumped from 150kW to 200kW in race trim between Season 1 and Season 7, with ATTACK MODE yielding a further 10kW and qualifying mode boosting power to 250kW. This shaved 0.2 seconds off the 0-100km/h sprint, which was reduced to 2.8 seconds - pushing top speed up to 280km/h (174mph) from 225km/h (140mph).
Gen1: The car that launched a series
In Season 1, back in 2014, Formula E ushered in a revolution with our all-electric open-wheel Gen1 car - a first of its kind in motorsport. The car produced a humble 200kW of power, which was enough for it to hit a sizable top speed of 225kmh and be able to regenerate 100KWh of power. While impressive for the time, the cars were a radical shift away from anything that had come before them in motorsport.
