Formula E and the FIA have unveiled the next generation of race car, the revolutionary all-electric GEN3 Evo, boasting a blistering 0-60mph acceleration in just 1.82 seconds.
This cutting-edge vehicle, showcased at Prince Albert II’s Private Car Collection in Monte Carlo, ahead of this Saturday’s Monaco E-Prix, will debut in 2025 in Season 11 of the championship.
Crafted by Formula E and the FIA‘s technical experts, the latest iteration of the GEN3 Evo represents a remarkable leap in electric racing technology. With its acceleration outpacing current Formula 1 cars by 30 percent and the previous GEN3 model by 36 percent, it sets a new standard in performance, sustainability, and efficiency.
Notably, it accelerates nearly a second faster than its predecessor, setting a higher bar in street racing prowess and will remain all-wheel drive.
“The GEN3 Evo heralds a ground-breaking chapter in the evolution of Formula E, embodying our dedication to innovation and high performance achieved sustainably,” said Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds.
“Featuring unprecedented acceleration and an advanced aerodynamic design, the car that I had the honour of unveiling in Monaco is set to intensify the thrill of our racing, captivating our drivers and fans around the world with truly superior capabilities and performance.”
