The launch of the GEN4 Formula E race car underlines a step change in electric racing performance in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Set for its racing debut in the 2026/27 Season, the GEN4 machine reaches speeds of over 335kph and 0-200kph in 4.4 seconds, 1.5 seconds faster than the current GEN3 Evo, with a 71% increase in power in ATTACK MODE compared to its predecessor.
The GEN4 car is also more road-relevant than ever, with some of the world’s biggest automotive manufacturers (Porsche, Nissan, Jaguar, Stellantis with both Citroën and Opel, Mahindra, Lola) taking these innovations from track to road. GEN4 is not just faster, it’s a leap across generations, showing how far electric racing has come in just twelve seasons since Formula E’s inception and a declaration of the direction the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship is headed.

Would really like to see slicks. They'd be quicker around every track by a substantial margin, racing would be better, and it would create pit stops for tire changes instead of an energy boost that still makes the car slower compared to what slicks would do.
FIA MAFIA
Looks like a Formula 1 car.
They clearly try to develop the Formula E to take over from Formula 1 and it just hasn't worked out that's the reason they sabotaged F1
No Thanks
I'm def not a "ICE vs EV" guy, I like both and think each has a place. That said I'm glad they are using racing, FE and EV-Rally, to push the tech forward. Some amazing car innovation has come from racing, in all aspects. Super cool!
Great. Now please also modernize your distribution model and un-tether yourselves from overpriced sports channels.
The improvement is fantastic! But you should use slicks like the F1! With them they will be fast as the F1 on tracks like Monaco.
You talk of F E sustainability and yet you don’t discuss that these batteries are made in UNSAFE conditions and SLAVE LABOR in some countries that provide battery raw materials. You don’t share how you discard used batteries because manufacturing batteries and discarding these afterwards CREATE MORE POLLUTION THAN ANY FUEL MOTOR. So what is NOT sustainable is actually your lies.
How does this work? When Lawson crashed into Gasly, sending him flying, he didn't even get a warning, just a pat on the back and carried on. Today, Hülkenberg and Lindblad gained positions outside track limits and received no penalty, nor did they have to give back the positions they gained. Franco Colapinto slowed down under a yellow flag, the FIA said that the reduction wasn't enough and penalized him with a 10-second penalty and 1 point on his super license. It's very clear they don't apply the same standards, especially if you're Latin American.
Vivo en Argentina asqueado de la corrupcion y las injusticias. Encontre la manera de desintoxicarme un poco siguiendo al Senior Colapinto, por su calidad de ser humano mas que de piloto, aunque sea de los mejores y me topo con la nauseabunda, miserable y corrupta MA-FIA, me cago en la leche. Gracias por poner la voz y la cara por los que mas la necesitan, los que somos victimas de todo este sistema que todo lo degrada y contamina.
A small 50 hp turbine APU should be integrated as a hybrid solution for full lenght races. Get rid of the gearbox on the F1 car and go full electric motors propulsion with a small turbine APU and a small battery pack and ultracapacitors.
Comment peut-on avoir un mec aussi compétent… absolument incapable de parler anglais correctement…
Don't worry they will soon ctch up with F1 and outlaw innovation😁
Such crap listening to vacuum cleaners. The only excitement will be lithium batteries on fire.
Infelizmente o stisssimo Bob está em visita oficial a Espanha infelizmente o stisssimo Bob deve ficar na Espanha até sábado quando tem o treino para a tomada de tempo para a corrida 🏎️ de domingo com tudo isso é muito bom se os dirigentes da FIA fizessem uma novena católica para evitar uma ou duas grande tragédias nas corridas da f 1 na Espanha nada complicado 456 pai vosso 876 ave com muita muita Maria 987 terços com toda Reza a stisssima mãe minha deve ajudar para a Sta proteção da corrida 🏎️ da f 1 na Espanha basta ter essa fé católica do Bob 😊
they said Vertappen is going to participate here 🤣
we don't need another F1 BS
Electric vehicles being charged from a huge bank of diesel generators 😂
Boring dull presenter
If the FIA was looking to do the right thing environmentally it shouldn't be running 2 near identical race formats,one electric and one hybrid.
Both have the same environmental costs of travel and research and development,racing itself only accounts for 1% of F1's environmental impact.
Yet running both series just amplifiés the issues.
Decide which one you want to run and dump the other and you'll actually do something positive for the planet if that is the point of Formula E and hybrid F1.
Incidentally returning F1 to ICE and using synthetic fuels would be greener than either of the current formulas as it's more sustainable than anything linked with lithium-ion batteries.
3:24 all-wheel burnout. Yay!
Recharge an EV as fast as you refuel a car and I MIGHT be interested.
I understand development could benefit road cars in the long run. But cut the crap (gaslighting) on the fact that doing so many traveling and shipment across the world using fossil fuel freighters is a good thing. It's not. Same applies to F1 "green" marketing.
I am confident that FE will eventually overtake F1, at which point they'll either be merged or F1 will cease to exist for lack of relevance. Either way, I can't wait for this to happen because it will finally prove to even the most sceptic that there is NO EXCUSE to keep relying on fossil fuels.
Any Chinese companies involved in FE?
Why still no slicks?
I hope that the regeneration and ultra fast charging tech filters down to road cars fairly quickly. Those two things would be a godsend for electric road cars.
Trash 🗑
Electric does not mean sustainable, anyway, good luck with the series, no one wants to watch it.
I'm actually excited for this year. The car looks great, its fast, 4wd and the acceleration is insane.
So they're promoting FE with the genius driver who crashed 200kph+ going backwards…
"ultimately we are here to promote the brand " …and that (among other things) is why racing has been downhill for decades
They need to race on some Formula 1 tracks when they have the tech. At the moment, the tracks let the sport down; they're more like go-kart tracks.
I;d like to see these added to GT7.. it would be a hoot taking one into a race with the sf cars and the 3500 ones
NOT BUYING IT!!!
I guess when the FE gen 5 comes up in the future. Is almost the time we gonna say goodbye to F1.
I never liked electric vehicles… but this – along with Coulthard’s recent reaction to driving
a GEN4 – and I’m properly intrigued.
Nice one 🙏
so narrow minded. These machines will be garbage within 5 years and replaced with Gen5.
Gen 4 Dyson race. Which vacuum cleaner wil win?? Who cares? Formula e viewers worldwide….2 to 3 million. Formula one? 65 to 75 million. You're pumping money into something that is already dead but, then again, it hasn't stopped our government from doing the same.. for now.
Each their own, but I personally find these cars boring as hell, I'd fall asleep watching them lol. Electric cars have instantaneous power and acceleration and G4 are 4WD, where as F1 has rpm and gear changes, it's more interesting and complex, not to mention the sound, particularly if they bring back the screaming 20,000 rpm V10, V8 at least and I believe they're working on it. The future of electric cars and the software will be so advanced that there won't be much driver input left. And those who think electric cars are more powerful, take a look at the 1000 foot drag race records.
