It also reaches 200 kmph in just 4.4 seconds, making it 1.5 seconds quicker than the current GEN3 Evo car.The new machine delivers 50 per cent more power during race mode than its predecessor. In Attack Mode, it produces up to 600kW of power, giving drivers a significant boost in performance. It is also the first Formula E car to feature permanent all-wheel drive.During the demonstration, the GEN4 completed comparison laps alongside the GEN1, GEN2 and GEN3 cars, highlighting how much the championship&#8217;s technology has progressed over the last 12 seasons. According to Formula E, the new car is expected to be at least five seconds quicker per lap on street circuits than the GEN3 Evo.<\/p>\n<p>Formula E GEN4 has sustainability and safety at the core<\/p>\n<p>The GEN4 has also been designed with sustainability in mind. Formula E says it will be the world&#8217;s first racing car that is completely recyclable or reusable at the end of its life. At least 20 percent of its key components are made from recycled materials, while its tyres contain 65 percent renewable and recycled materials.The battery has been developed without using rare earth minerals, continuing the championship&#8217;s focus on environmentally friendly technology. Formula E also remains the first global sport to receive BSI Net Zero Pathway certification and the first motorsport series to achieve B Corp certification.Safety has also been improved in the new car. It features a wider cockpit to provide more space for drivers&#8217; hands, power steering to reduce steering loads during impacts, and a more adjustable driving position to accommodate a wider range of drivers.The unveiling was attended by all Formula E manufacturers and teams, including Porsche, Jaguar, Nissan, Stellantis, Mahindra and Lola Cars.Also read: <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/sports\/formula-e\/cupra-kiro-extends-porsche-partnership-ahead-of-formula-es-gen4-debut\/articleshow\/132317025.cms\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" styleobj=\"[object Object]\" class=\"\" commonstate=\"[object Object]\" frmappuse=\"1\" target=\"_blank\">Cupra Kiro extends Porsche partnership ahead of Formula E&#8217;s GEN4 debut<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Formula E on Monday has officially unveiled its next-generation race car &#8211; the GEN4 &#8211; with its first&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":53211,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21068],"tags":[21104,21103,42845,3680,42844,42842,42847,42846,42843],"class_list":["post-53210","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-e-on","tag-e-on","tag-e-on-se","tag-electric-racing-car","tag-formula-e","tag-formula-e-2026-27-season","tag-formula-e-gen4","tag-formula-e-technology","tag-high-speed-electric-vehicle","tag-next-generation-race-car"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53210"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53210\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/germany\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
