Formula E brings racing tech to the road, as some of the biggest car and motorsport brands go head-to-head using city street racing as their testing ground

GEN3 Evo

Evolution. Accelerated.

Formula E is set to get a lot faster with the introduction of the GEN3 Evo, the quickest accelerating FIA single-seater race car – Capable of 0-60mph in 1.82 seconds (0-100kph in 1.86s).

Set to race in Season 11, this leaner, stronger and more agile machine will give the drivers more power and more grip thanks to new, optimised Hankook tyres and with AWD enabled during the Duels, race start and ATTACK MODE phases, all packaged within a more aggressive, more robust, and more aerodynamic body. Prepare for racing to evolve.

Progress never stops

Welcome to Gen3: The fastest, lightest, most powerful and efficient electric race car ever built.

Inspired by a fighter jet, every aspect of the Gen3 has been rethought, redesigned and rebuilt to become the most advanced electric car on the track. Setting the benchmark for high-performance, efficient and, sustainable racing without compromise.

Gen2: The final car swap

The next evolution: Gen2. The Batmobile-esque all-electric racer pushed the boundaries with double the energy storage capacity of the Gen1 car, meaning it can complete a whole race, so no more mid-race car swaps. Greater speeds, more action on track and with just one car per driver - the pressure was on.

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 sizeable 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.
