GEN4 - The Next Evolution | FIA Formula E World Championship
A NEW BENCHMARK FOR SPEED, SUSTAINABILITY AND INNOVATION IN MOTORSPORT

The all-new GEN4 race car marks a reinvention of motorsport and the next chapter of electric racing. Capable of high speeds, the fastest Formula E car in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s history has been engineered for today's pioneers and tomorrow's next-generation talent, setting a new global standard for innovation, speed, and sustainability.

New Look of Speed

The GEN4 Formula E car is a radical reimagining of electric racing, featuring an even more aggressive 5,540mm x 1,800mm footprint designed to harness a massive 600kW (815bhp) output. This futuristic chassis introduces two aerodynamic packages that switch between high-downforce qualifying and low-drag race modes to exceed 200 mph, and permanent All-Wheel Drive for unprecedented traction.

Most Powerful Formula E Car Ever

The GEN4 delivers a staggering 600kW (815bhp) of peak power—a 71% increase over the previous generation. Fueled by a new 55kWh battery, the car features a dual-motor system capable of 700kW regenerative braking, recovering nearly 50% of the energy used during a race. With efficiency exceeding 97%, the GEN4 is the ultimate masterclass in high-output energy management.

Active All-Wheel Drive, All the time

The GEN4 introduces permanent active All-Wheel Drive, delivering a record-shattering 1.8-second 0-60 mph launch. By utilising dual motors for constant four-wheel traction, the system ensures the car’s full 600kW (815bhp) output is converted into relentless acceleration and superior cornering agility.

To handle this massive power, a new dual-tire strategy features wider dimensions—295mm front and 330mm rear. Teams can now switch between specialised high-performance dry or "Monsoon" wet compounds, both engineered from sustainable materials to support the car’s 100% recyclability goal without sacrificing grip.

Sustainability at the heart of the GEN4

The GEN4 sets a new global benchmark as the world’s most sustainable race car, engineered with a "circular" philosophy where every component is designed for a second life. The chassis is 100% recyclable, featuring bodywork constructed from at least 20% recycled carbon fibre and bio-based composites. By combining ethical sourcing with a powertrain that recovers nearly 50% of its energy through 700kW regeneration, the GEN4 proves that elite, high-performance motorsport can be entirely zero-waste.
