Formula E has unveiled the new Gen2 EVO car, which will debut in the 2020/21 season.
Gen2 EVO is a revamp of the existing Gen2 car and features a new front wing, dorsal fin and a distinctive curved rear wing. The new design marks the return of open-wheel racing for Formula E not seen since the first car was launched.
The founder & Chairman of Formula E, Alejandro Agag, said: “The Gen2 already stands out as one of the most striking race cars to hit the track, and just as the name implies, the Gen2 EVO is another evolution of the distinctive design.
“As we did with the first-generation car, the Gen2 EVO has been given reprofiled bodywork to make it look more sleek and agile. This car will forever go down in the history books as the first to challenge for an ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.
“I’d like to thank FIA President Jean Todt and his team for making this evolution take shape. Its futuristic design once again showcases Formula E as the category for innovation in both technological advances and appearance.”
Gen2 EVO a hit with fans
The upgraded car seems to have gone down well on social media with fans praising the futuristic design.
Only time will tell how much of a difference the revamped car will make to Formula E racing. While the biggest shake-up in Formula E will come in 2022/23 with the launch of Gen3, this latest design is certainly an important step in the evolution of Formula E.
