"This is the first t🍃i🐻me I’ve seen the complete car in the flesh and it’s even more sleek and spectacular up close," Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag said.

"If you were to draw a racing car from scratch and base it purely on its looks, you’d come up with just this design. Not only is it striking on the eye, the pe🌟rformance and range show clear progress in terms of technological development in only four years.

"I’d like to expr🍎ess my personal thanks to the FIA and its President Jean Todt, for their hard work and support in putting together and designing our Gen2 car. This model visually differentiates Formula E from any other single-seater in motorsport today. When people see this car they will say it’s Formula E, it’s the future."

"The FIA Formula E Gen2 really looks like a car of the future," added Todt. "It’s encouraging to see the progress made in just four years - to double the range of the car and increase the power o🍨utput is the re🍃sult of a great effort.

"With the support of so many manufacturers, Formula E will continue to push the deve💞lopment of electric vehicle technology, and promote sustainable mobility in many cities around the world."
