Nissan e.dams shows off kimono-themed colour scheme for Season 8

Nissan e.dams showed off its Season 8 colours on Tuesday, a week before the IM03 heads out on track in Valencia at pre-season testing for the 2021/22 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

The team's red and black stays but it looks even bolder this time around, with an evolution of its Japanese kimono-themed livery taking on brighter red highlights.

Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s senior vice president for global design, has added his touch too, with a flourish on the car’s nosecone.

A new line-up

Joining Formula E veteran Sebastien Buemi - the series' record-holder for race wins - will be Maximilian Guenther; snapped up by Nissan following BMW's exit from the championship at the end of Season 7.

The German racer is one of Formula E's rising stars, with three race victories to his name so far, and the 24-year-old joins up Buemi and the team at the official Formula E pre-season test at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, Spain, 29 November-2 December.

"It’s great to be back with Nissan e.dams for our fourth season together, and I would like to warmly welcome Maximilian to the team," says Buemi. "Maximilian brings good pace and some fresh approaches to racing, so I hope we can create a powerful combination based on the strong foundations and extensive experience we have at Nissan e.dams. We aim to be competitive from the first race to the last. We’ve got work to do and the team is highly motivated.”

“I’m really excited to go racing with such a historic and successful racing brand as Nissan," adds Guenther. "Formula E is extremely competitive and thrilling to race in, and I feel that with Seb as my teammate and the team behind me, together we can do great things. In my first weeks with the team, I can see that there are big plans both on and off the track and I am looking forward to a busy and competitive Season 8. The new race car looks stunning, and I can’t wait to drive it at full race pace at the Valencia test.”
