The Monaco E-Prix, held last May, was the stage where several Formula 1 drivers, including world champion Lando Norris, showed great interest in the new Gen4 Formula E car. According to the director of Formula E, Jeff Dodds, the drivers’ comments about this vehicle have been one of the highlights of the 2025-26 season.
Norris, along with other drivers like Carlos Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg, discovered the car during the competition weekend, which included rounds 9 and 10, won by Nyck de Vries and Oliver Rowland.
Gen4: Innovation and Power
The new Gen4 is considered the fastest car in the series, with a top speed of 208 mph and a power of 804 bhp, nearly 70% more than its predecessor. Additionally, it will become the first formula car with permanent all-wheel drive.
In light of these innovations, Dodds reflected on the excitement the Gen4 has generated: ‘It was a standout moment to see top-level drivers like Norris showing great enthusiasm for the car, commenting on its power and features. He said: ‘600 kilowatts of power, permanent all-wheel drive, what more can you ask for in a race car?’.
A Title Decided in London
The competition continues with an intense battle for the title, with up to nine drivers in the race, although the real possibilities focus on four: Jake Dennis, Mitch Evans, Pascal Wehrlein, and Rowland, who are separated by just a few points in the standings.
The final will take place in London, an event that promises to be the excitement fans have been waiting for, with stories that could turn into legends of Formula E.
