Formula E Gen 2 car

Last week, Formula E has unveiled its aggressively-styled second generation car for the 2018/19 season Formula E season at last weeks Geneva Motor Show.



Created once again by Spark Racing Technology and Dallara. The technical specifications of the new car dub as the Batmobile, which has a battery capable of storing energy for twice the range of its predecessor made by Mclaren to eliminate the need for mid-race car-swaps, were also released for the first time.



It will have a maximum power of 250kW (335 bhp), with 200kW (268 bhp) available during races, and will have a maximum speed of 280km/h (174mph), according to the official specs.



The Gen2 machine will have a minimum weight of 900kg (compared to the current SRT-01E that weighs 880kg in total), which includes the driver and the 385kg battery.

Its halo is fitted with an LED lighting strip that will indicate race-related information such as power modes.

The Gen2 car will run on new all-weather rubber supplied by Michelin, which will be lighter and have less rolling resistance than the current tyres.

All in all, an evolution from the previous Formula E car.
