The Formula E Gen4 is the fourth generation of all-electric single-seater racing cars designed for use in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.[4] The car was officially unveiled on 5th November 2025.[4][5][6] The Gen4 is forecasted to make its racing debut in Season 13 (2026-27).[4]
Improvement to the previous Gen3 Evo car include permanent all-wheel drive,[2][3] with a new rear wing which allows 2 aerodynamic configurations.[3] Each car will be built from at least 20% recyclable materials, with the whole car designed to be recyclable after its use.[3] Prototype cars have been tested by manufacturers in late 2025.[2]
Reception
[edit]The Gen4 car has been described as a “quantum leap” in electric racing technology. Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds emphasized that it represents “over a decade of progress, innovation, and ambition in electric racing”. Motorsport media highlighted its potential to attract greater respect and viewership for the championship.[citation needed]
