The new specification of car was unveiled on Thursday evening ahead of this weekend’s Monaco E-Prix, where it will also demonstrated in public for the first time on Saturday by ex-Formula 1 driver David Coulthard.
The all-electric championship’s latest challenger is an upgrade on the current Gen3 car which has been used for the last two seasons, with primary changes to the bodywork and tyres, as well as a more efficient use of power.
The acceleration of the car has been substantially improved with a 0-60mph time of 1.82s which now exceeds that of the current F1 cars, while general performance has been improved by around two seconds in relation to a lap of Monte Carlo.
Most significantly, the car will now make use of the front powertrain which has been a part of the Gen3 machine since its launch but has yet to be used, making it all-wheel-drive (AWD) for the first time.
