The Race can reveal what the revamped ‘Gen3 Evo’ version of the current Formula E car is set to look like when it makes its debut in 2025
The Gen3 Evo Formula E car, set to replace the current design in 2025, will likely feature notable changes such as the front powertrain potentially becoming four-wheel drive. These plans are still being decided, but data from a manufacturer test in Mallorca last November suggests that the new active set-up will be used in qualifying and the attack mode phases of E-Prixs next year. Additionally, other areas of the Gen3 car, including the bodywork, sidepods, damper cover, and engine cover, will be modified, and a new spec of Hankook rubber will be introduced. The front-wing assembly will be redesigned to address issues of brittleness and mounting failures. Testing of the new car is expected to take place in September or October, and its success is crucial for attracting new fans and setting the stage for the Gen4 era in 2026. Despite challenges during the development of Gen3, the quality of racing remained largely unaffected, but the series hopes to improve its viewership with the updated design.
