Formula E and the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) reveal the all-new GEN4 race car, marking a reinvention of motorsport and the next chapter of electric racing set to debut in the 2026/27 season.
Capable of rapid speeds, the fastest Formula E car in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s history has been engineered for the pioneers of today and next-generation talent of tomorrow, setting a new global standard for innovation, speed, and sustainability.
Set to debut in the 2026/27 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship season, the GEN4 redefines racing – with 600kW of power available (equivalent to over 815hp) plus active all-wheel drive in every phase of the race.
This is the most challenging Formula E car to master, designed for wheel-to-wheel battles and jaw-dropping moments for fans. Every feature on the GEN4, from active all-wheel drive and active differential, demonstrates all the technologies electric cars offer, making this machine more road-relevant for manufacturers and their future vehicle innovation than ever before.

“Co-developed with the FIA, it stands as the most advanced, demanding, and sustainable machine we’ve ever built, redefining what’s possible in performance and environmental responsibility. With GEN4, Formula E strengthens its position as the world’s most forward-thinking sport and a true racing pioneer.”
Marek Nawarecki, Senior Circuit Sport Director, FIA, added: “We are very proud to present the innovative GEN4 Formula E single-seater – a car that once again raises the bar in terms of the capabilities of electric technology in motorsport, and underscores just how far the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship has come since 2014.
“Ready to race in Season 13, this bold new technical framework supplied by the FIA together with Formula E, will allow OEMs to incorporate and showcase their own road-relevant technologies more than ever before, marking the dawn of a bright new era for Formula E that we have no doubt will be its most exciting and electrifying yet.”
Alberto Longo, Co-Founder and Chief Championship Officer, Formula E, said: “The GEN4 is designed for the pioneers of tomorrow. The new technical capabilities, from 600kW of power to active all-wheel drive, will test our drivers like never before. It’s a car built for wheel-to-wheel battles and pure racing action.
“I’d like to thank our partners at the FIA for their collaboration in this incredible innovation, and we look forward to further collaboration as our manufacturers and teams hone these machines with their performance experts. Together with the FIA, we’ve created the most challenging Formula E car to master, and we can’t wait to see the incredible racing it will deliver for fans around the world.”
Vincent Gaillardot, Formula E Technical Manager, FIA, added: “GEN4 is the most advanced Formula E single-seater to date, with cutting-edge technology making it the fastest and most powerful electric racing car fans will ever have seen.
“With drivers able to deploy more than 815hp in Attack Mode as well as permanent all-wheel-drive, enhanced aerodynamics and greater grip levels from bigger tyres, GEN4 slots in at the sharp end of the FIA’s single-seater pyramid and will be one of the highest performance racing cars anywhere in the world.
“This has been achieved while reducing the restrictions on as many control system features as possible, for road relevancy purposes, carefully managing costs and meeting all development timelines. This has only been possible through close collaboration with our chassis, tyre, battery, front powertrain and charging partners, and we thank all of them for their earnest efforts. We also thank our manufacturers for their commitment, and we will continue working closely together on the development with the two forthcoming combined tests. ”
