Formula E may have its detractors, but it knows how to make a good-looking race car.

Bigger, faster, funkier... the future of Formula E

Now this looks cool

With the Gen4, due to start racing in the 26/27 season, the designers have gone full Batman, creating the largest and most powerful FE racer yet. We're particular fans of the new-look aggressive front wing and sidepods, plus the Formula 1-style sculpted rear wing.

You say more powerful...

Oh yes, and by some margin. Gen3 FE cars produced 350kW of grunt in Qualifying Mode, that's about 476bhp to you and I. Gen4 will almost double that figure to 600kW (815bhp) in the full-fat driving modes such as Qualifying and Attack, plus the car will be the first to feature permanent active all-wheel drive. Gen3 cars generally only had all-wheel drive for race starts and when in Attack Mode.

Lap records to tumble!
