DS Penske has become the first team to showcase its new car for the 2025 FIA Formula E Championship season in striking change.
They’ve listened to the reception their special Monaco livery got when it was shown earlier this year in The Principality, and played on that theme for their 2024/25 look – gold accents with changes that make the car “more visible and aesthetically striking,” they say, to go with Formula E’s new GEN3 Evo, set to hit the circuit for the first time in Season 11.
“As we have done in our most recent seasons, the now signature double diamond PENSKE shape synonymous with our Formula E identity remains, further building on the teams legacy in this sport,” says Head of Design Sean Bull. “We always strive to create the most beautiful livery on track each season, not just in Formula E, but world motorsport and again we believe this years full season livery has achieved just that.”
New look, new era
“The unveiling of the new livery marks not just the start of a new season, but also Max [Guenther] returning to our program,” says team boss Jay Penske. “It would have been easy to run the same livery as in Season 10, but that is not our approach.
“Each year, we aim for better, and this livery reflects that drive. With JEV and Max behind the wheels of the DS E-TENSE FE25, we have two highly ambitious and determined drivers, both fighting relentlessly to bring the team to the podium and secure valuable points throughout the season.”
“The new livery is stunning,” adds double champion Jean-Eric Vergne. “It feels bold, aggressive and fast, just like how we want to race this season. It is much more than just a design ; it is a statement about the team’s ambition and the energy we are all bringing into every single race. I cannot wait to see it under the lights.”
“This livery is a perfect match for the next-gen car we are driving this season,” says the team’s returning German Maximilian Guenther. “When you look at it, you see the confidence and evolution of the team. I love how it stands out. The attention to details and gold accents highlight the team’s determination to push further and fight at the front of the grid.”
