As the only all-electric FIA World Championship, GEN4 is both the pinnacle of motorsport innovation and a testbed for future mobility. It is also central to the series\u2019 race-to-road philosophy, with 600kW charging and high-efficiency motor development feeding into next-generation EV technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In addition to outright performance, sustainability remains a central pillar of innovation for GEN4,\u00a0 which will be the world\u2019s first racing car that is 100% recyclable, with at least 20% recycled materials across key components. Its tyres are made from 65% natural and recycled materials, including 30% certified natural rubber, and the battery contains no rare earth minerals. At a broader level, Formula E remains the first global sport certified to the BSI Net Zero Pathway Standard and the first motorsport series in the world to achieve B Corp Certification.<\/p>\n
Jeff Dodds, CEO, Formula E, said: \u201cGEN4 isn\u2019t just a car, it’s a statement of intent. Seeing what it can do on track for the first time is a real milestone for Formula E – we are now delivering performance levels that were thought impossible for electric vehicles just five years ago. The step up in performance is immediately clear, from the speed and power to the way it delivers on track, and there was a genuine buzz among everyone who witnessed it. This is a hugely exciting moment for the Championship as we head into the upcoming 2026\/27 Season, and a clear signal of where we are headed.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is just the beginning, as its refinement is now in the hands of our manufacturers – Porsche, Jaguar, Stellantis, Nissan, Lola Cars and Mahindra – to push development to even higher limits of performance ahead of its racing debut later this year. GEN4 isn\u2019t just an evolution, it\u2019s a step-change in innovation and performance that will redefine motorsport for years to come.\u201d<\/p>\n
H.E. Mohammed Ben Sulayem, President, F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) said: \u00a0\u201cThe new GEN4 Formula E car marks a significant step forward for electric racing, setting a new global benchmark for performance, innovation, and sustainability.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cIt is not simply just a fast car, it is a statement of intent about the future of this technology. I am proud that the FIA and its partners in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship are leading this vision.<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u201cCollaboration has been central to the development of this car, and it will continue to be at the heart of a new era for the championship defined by greater performance, road relevance, and excitement. We are redefining what is possible alongside some of the world\u2019s biggest automotive manufacturers using the laboratory of motorsport.\u201d<\/p>\n
GEN4 will also introduce enhanced safety features, including a wider cockpit for increased hand clearance and power steering to help mitigate steering loads during impacts, while intensifying the driver challenge at the highest level of motorsport. It has also been designed with improved adjustability in the driving position, helping to level the playing field and re-engineering the sport for inclusivity at the top level.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Beyond the track, GEN4 strengthens Formula E\u2019s position as a cultural platform, blending elite performance with innovation, sustainability, and growing relevance across fashion, gaming, and music.<\/p>\n
The demonstration in Le Castellet saw all Formula E teams and manufacturers in attendance, including Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Stellantis, Mahindra and Lola Cars. The takeaway: GEN4 is not just faster, it\u2019s a leap across generations, showing how far electric racing has come in just twelve seasons since Formula E\u2019s inception and a declaration of the direction the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is headed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For fans, it unlocks a new level of spectacle – closer racing, higher speeds, and more dramatic on-track action than ever before – further cementing Formula E\u2019s position at the forefront of innovation and performance in global sport.\u00a0<\/p>\n
