The ABB FIA Formula E Championship has announced the next-generation, all-electric car.
Set to be officially unveiled March 6, 2018, at the Geneva International Motor Show, the car will make its competitive debut in the 2018/19 season of the series and is designed to be used for the next three seasons.
With almost double the energy storage capacity and double the range of the current car, the Gen2 will enable the teams and drivers to complete a full race at higher speeds without making a mid-race car swap.
“This car represents the future of racing," said Formula E Founder and CEO Alejandro Agag. "When we started Formula E, our goal was to break the mold and challenge the status quo—bringing a revolution to motorsport. This next generation car represents that revolution."
The Gen2 Formula E car is the first vehicle to have been designed by the FIA, the governing body of the Formula E. Drafted by leading designers from around the world, the car represents a seismic shift for the series with the design setting it apart from any other motorsport series, according to Formula E.
"I’m very proud that the FIA has been at the forefront of this car’s development, it’s something new for the Federation, and the project has been a huge success," said the organization's President Jean Todt.
