Gen3 Performance Metrics:

-Fastest Formula E car yet with a top speed over 322 kph / 200 mph.

-Most efficient formula racing car ever with more than 40% of the energy used within a race produced by regenerative braking.

-Around 95% power efficiency from an electric motor delivering up to 350kW of power (470BHP), compared to approximately 40% for an internal combustion engine.

-First-ever formula car with both front and rear powertrains. A new front powertrain adds 250kW to the 350kW at the rear, more than doubling the regenerative capability of the current Gen2 to a total of 600kW.

-Ultra-high speed charging capability of 600kW for additional energy during a race, almost double the power of the most advanced commercial chargers in the world.

-The first formula car that will not feature rear hydraulic brakes with the addition of the front powertrain and its regenerative capability.
