Formula E together with the FIA presented its all-new GEN4 race car to touch 600kW mark of power, made by 100% recyclable materials.
Formula E and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) reveal the all-new GEN4 race car, marking a reinvention of motorsport and the next chapter of electric racing set to debut in the 2026/27 season. Capable of rapid speeds, the fastest Formula E car in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s history has been engineered for the pioneers of today and next-generation talent of tomorrow, setting a new global standard for innovation, speed, and sustainability.
Set to debut in the 2026/27 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season, the GEN4 redefines racing – with 600kW of power available (equivalent to over 815hp) plus active all-wheel drive in every phase of the race. This is the most challenging Formula E car to master, designed for wheel-to-wheel battles and jaw-dropping moments for fans. Every feature on the GEN4, from active all-wheel drive and active differential, demonstrates all the technologies electric cars offer, making this machine more road-relevant for manufacturers and their future vehicle innovation than ever before.
GEN4 is motorsport’s most sustainable race car, advancing circular design at every level. Its construction uses 100% recyclable materials, setting a new benchmark for environmental responsibility. From pioneering battery systems to next-generation tyres and innovative bodywork, every component of the GEN4’s supply chain is selected for ethical sourcing, recyclability, and reduced impact. These innovations ensure GEN4 is not just built for speed and performance, but also as a trailblazer for sustainability in sport and beyond. Key technical enhancements for the new GEN4 race car include:
Design: The GEN4 features two distinct aerodynamic configurations: high downforce, optimised for qualifying, and low downforce designed specifically for race conditions, delivering unmatched performance on track.
Performance & Technology Highlights: GEN4 delivers a dramatic boost in performance and technology with 450kW peak race power, 600kW ATTACK MODE for powerful overtakes, enhanced 700kW regenerative braking, and race energy capacity up to 55kWh for bolder race strategies.
Sustainability Innovations: The construction of the GEN4 features 100% recyclable materials (with at least 20% recycled content), delivering unmatched performance, driving the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s leadership as the world’s most sustainable motorsport.
After breaking cover for the first time in all-new photos and videos, the GEN4 will now be put through its paces at the hands of ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s registered GEN4 manufacturers – Porsche, Nissan, Stellantis, Jaguar and Lola Cars.
Experts will implement their in-house technologies, transferring their expertise in power train and energy management to calibrate and push the performance capabilities of the car to its limits ahead of its debut at the start of the 2026/27 season. Translating their expertise in transport into the sport and reaffirming the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as the most relevant motorsport for automotive manufacturers.
“The GEN4 is far more than a race car. It represents over a decade of progress, innovation, and ambition in electric racing,” said Jeff Dodds, CEO, Formula E. “Co-developed with the FIA, it stands as the most advanced, demanding, and sustainable machine we’ve ever built, redefining what’s possible in performance and environmental responsibility. With GEN4, Formula E strengthens its position as the world’s most forward-thinking sport and a true racing pioneer.”
