Interesting, the Formula E Gen3 Evo will feature all-wheel-drive which will be available during qualifying duels, race starts, and attack mode stints. Up to 600 kW of regenerative braking capacity is used to generate nearly 50 per cent of the energy needed for a race, during the race itself.

Jeff Dodds, Chief Executive Officer, Formula E said: “The Gen3 Evo heralds a ground-breaking chapter in the evolution of Formula E, embodying our dedication to innovation and high performance achieved sustainably. 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.”
