Gen3 Evo: The Fastest Accelerating FIA Single-Seater

The Gen3 Evo marks a significant leap in electric racing technology, debuting in Season 11 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. As the fastest accelerating FIA single-seater race car, it redefines performance boundaries.

Key Specifications

0-60 mph 1.82 seconds (0-100 kph in 1.86s)
Top Speed 200 mph (322 kph)
Power Output 350 kW (470 bhp)
Drivetrain All-Wheel Drive (AWD) *
Regenerative Braking 600 kW (approx. 50% of race energy)
Efficiency >95% Motor Efficiency

* AWD is available during Qualifying Duels, Race Starts, and Attack Mode activation.

Performance vs. Gen3

The Gen3 Evo is not just a visual update; it brings tangible performance gains:

  • Acceleration: 36% faster than the previous Gen3 car.
  • Comparison: 30% faster 0-60 mph acceleration than a current F1 car.
  • Grip: New Hankook iON tires provide 5-10% more grip.
  • Lap Time: Estimated to be ~2% faster around the Monaco circuit (approx. 2 seconds).

A New Era of Grip

For the first time, Formula E cars will utilize All-Wheel Drive (AWD) in specific scenarios. This maximizes traction during the critical launch phase and high-power Attack Mode stints, allowing drivers to deploy the full 350kW more effectively.
