FIA and Formula E Unveil Gen4 Car With 600 kW and AWD for 2026/27 Debut

Manufacturers now begin private testing following FIA mule runs topping 8,000 km with speeds over 200 mph.

Overview

  • The new single-seater is the series’ fastest yet, delivering 450 kW peak race power, 600 kW in Attack Mode, up to 700 kW regenerative braking and a race energy capacity up to 55 kWh.
  • Permanent active all-wheel drive and an active differential become standard to showcase road-relevant control and energy-management technologies.
  • Two prescribed aerodynamic setups are introduced, with a high-downforce configuration for qualifying and a lower-drag race package to optimize efficiency.
  • Construction is fully recyclable with at least 20% recycled content, reinforcing Formula E’s lifecycle-focused, circular-design approach.
  • Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Stellantis and Lola begin development testing, reportedly at Monteblanco in Spain, with Bridgestone reported to supply tyres as the car targets a Season 13 launch in 2026/27.
