The championship says the new car, which will be raced in the 2024, 2025 and 2026 seasons, hopes to be as close to an F1 car as possible in terms of safety, look, systems, performance, sustainability and accessibility.
It completed a successful shakedown in July in Varano, with former F2 driver Tatiana Calderon at the wheel.
There has previously been much debate about the necessity of power steering throughout the single-seater pyramid, given that it is used in F1.
Championship CEO Bruno Michel believes the best solution, implemented in the new car, revolves around the geometry of suspension and braking effort, among other factors.
The FIA is hoping that a single steering weight that is “acceptable for all drivers”, implemented across the pyramid, will also be a “really good option”.
Speaking after the car was revealed at Monza on Thursday, Michel said: “We’ve been working quite extensively on this subject with the FIA, and the FIA has quite a heavy standard of steering effort.
“We’ve been working on the geometry of suspension to make sure we are achieving those figures and we completely feel that power steering is not needed, but what we’ve done is going to really help drivers with less physical strength than others.
