The FIA Formula E Championship has now officially kicked off its fourth season. And all the while, it’s used the same essential chassis first revealed back in 2013. But that’s about to come to an end as the electric racing series is preparing to unveil a completely new second-generation car.
The all-new Formula E racer is set to debut at the Geneva Motor Show this coming March. But before it does, the organizers have released a trio of teaser images to keep fans of the series on their proverbial toes.
Two of those teaser images give us glimpses at the front- and rear-end aerodynamic elements that look far more aggressive and angular than the current ones… especially that sinister-looking rear diffuser. Looks aside, they’ve surely been designed in the wind-tunnel to improve the spectacle and action, whether that means more downforce or less.
More revealing, though, is the inclusion of an F1-style “halo” cockpit protection device that’s quickly becoming the standard across a growing array of FIA-sanctioned open-cockpit racing series. For the new Formula E racer, it’s apparently going to include embedded LED lights – though for what purpose, we don’t know. Maybe they’ll be used to indicate the lead car, or which driver has the benefit of the “fan boost.”
Whatever the purpose, and whatever else it has in store, we may not have to wait until Geneva to see the new car revealed. Recent social media posts accompanying these teasers suggest we could see more later today… so watch this space, race fans.
