Say hello to next season’s Formula E car

The second-gen Formula E racer has looked cool ever since it was uncovered back in 2018, ahead of the motorsport’s fifth season. But for the seventh season, which starts in November of this year (we’re still midway through season six right now), it’s getting an upgrade to make it look “more sleek and agile”.

Set to be revealed at the Geneva Motor Show next month, the new car is technically the same as the old one, but gets a new front wing, dorsal fin, and “distinctive” curved rear wing. Is this the coolest-looking single-seater racer out there? Quite possibly. And remember, these things have double the energy storage and twice the range of early Formula E cars from back in the day and are really rather rapid. 

As of the 2020/2021 season, when the Gen2 EVO will be introduced, Formula E officially gains FIA ‘World Championship’ status, meaning it stands alongside F1 and the World Rally, World Endurance and World Rallycross championships as one of the world’s five foremost race series. Will you be watching?
