FIA and Formula E have unveiled the new Gen4 race car. Features a new powertrain that produces up to 805 hp. Said to be world’s first race car that is 100% recyclable. If you think Formula E might as well be called Formula Zzz, the latest update could be right up your alley as they’ve introduced the new Gen4 race car for the 2026/2027 season. It features an all-new powertrain with significantly improved performance. Showcased at the Paul Ricard Circuit earlier today, the model will be able to produce up to 805 hp (600 kW / 816 PS) in Attack Mode. That’s a huge increase from the previous limit of 469 hp (350 kW / 476 PS).

This suggests they’ll produce 603 hp (450 kW / 612 PS), which is roughly on par with the Kia EV6 GT. The impressive numbers don’t end there as the Gen4 racer accelerates from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 1.8 seconds and 0-124 mph (0-200 km/h) in 4.4 seconds, which is a full 1.5 seconds faster than its predecessor. Given enough room, the single seater will eventually hit a top speed of 208 mph (335 km/h). Given the gains, it’s little surprise that Formula E says Gen4 cars will deliver the “fastest-ever” lap times seen in the series. In particular, they suggested lap times on street circuits should fall by at least five seconds per lap compared to Gen3 Evo cars.

In regards to the latter, the Gen4 is said to be the “world’s first racing car that is 100% recyclable.” It also includes at least 20% recycled materials as well as batteries that lack rare earth minerals. Formula E CEO Jeff Dodds said, “Gen4 isn’t just a car, it’s a bold declaration of our ambition. Seeing what it can do on track for the first time is a real milestone for Formula E – we are now delivering performance levels that were thought impossible for electric vehicles just five years ago.” He went on to say, “This is just the beginning, as its refinement is now in the hands of our manufacturers – Porsche, Jaguar, Stellantis, Nissan, Lola Cars and Mahindra – to push development to even higher limits of performance ahead of its racing debut later this year.” Formula E
