With Formula E's pre-season testing in Madrid due to begin in less than 24 hours, Mahindra Racing have revealed their brand new challenger for the 2027 Season - the first of the GEN4 era.
Capable of reaching speeds in excess of 335kph, 0-100kph in approximately 1.8 seconds, and 0-200kph in just 4.4 seconds - 1.5 seconds faster than its predecessor - GEN4 will deliver 50% more power in race mode than the current GEN3 Evo race car. The GEN4 car will be an average of 10 seconds faster per lap than the GEN3 car in qualifying mode. In ATTACK MODE, GEN4 produces up to 600kW of power, a 71% increase in base output over GEN3 Evo, delivering performance that pushes the limits of electric racing. GEN4 is the only single-seater race car with permanent all-wheel drive.

The M13Electro was unveiled through a dedicated digital launch campaign, giving fans around the world their first look at Mahindra Racing's challenger for the GEN4 era. Featuring the team's signature red, a defining colour of Mahindra Racing's identity, the new livery celebrates the team's heritage while looking ahead to a new generation of electric motorsport.
Taking the wheel of the M13Electro will be the experienced partnership of Edoardo Mortara and Nyck de Vries, who enter their fourth season as teammates. Both drivers have played a crucial role in the development of the team's GEN4 machinery, through close collaboration with the Banbury-based squad's engineers.
Last season, Mahindra delivered one of their strongest campaigns in Formula E history, finishing 3rd in the Teams' Championship with 252 points - a significant jump from 4th place (186 points) the prior year. Both drivers remained firmly in title contention until the final round of the season in London - securing their positions at the team for the start of the GEN4 era.
Nyck de Vries, Mahindra Racing Driver, said: “GEN4 represents a significant step forward for Formula E, and it's exciting to be part of that transition. The changes to the car are substantial, particularly in terms of power, four-wheel drive and overall performance, so there will be a lot for us as drivers to understand and adapt to.
"Developing a completely new generation of car is always a complex process, and the collaboration between the drivers and engineering team will be crucial in understanding where we can find performance."
Edoardo Mortara, Mahindra Racing Driver, said: “The arrival of GEN4 is a very important moment for Formula E, as the new regulations bring a completely different level of performance and some interesting technical challenges.
"From a driver's perspective, understanding how to get the maximum out of the new package will be a key part of the process. There is a lot of work involved in building a competitive car, and our experience from the previous seasons will be important in helping the team make the right steps throughout development."
