- GEN4 set to be fastest, most advanced, and most sustainable car in championship’s history
RIYADH: The ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has unveiled its new GEN4 car, and fans will only have to wait until the 2026-27 season to see it in action.
The new model represents a significant leap for electric racing, emphasizing the championship’s commitment to continued innovation and sustainability, Saudi state news agency SPA reported on Friday.
The GEN4 is set to be the fastest, most advanced, and most sustainable car in the championship’s history.
It boasts up to 600 kW of power (over 815 horsepower) and features an active all-wheel-drive system operational during all phases of the race.
The car has a strong emphasis on sustainability, having been designed using 100 percent recyclable materials and incorporating at least 20 percent recycled components, reaffirming the championship’s leadership as the most sustainable motorsport series in the world.
Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds said the GEN4 is far more than a race car. Co-developed with the FIA, he said that “it stood as the most advanced, demanding, and sustainable machine Formula E ever built, redefining what is possible in performance and environmental responsibility while meeting the aspirations of professional drivers and inspiring future talents.”
