"This is the first time I’ve seen th📖e 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 fro🐽m 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 performance and range show clear progress in terms of technological develo🅰pment in only four years.

"I’d like to express my personal thanks to the FIA and its President Jean Todt, for their hard work and support in putting together and designing ourꦡ Gen2 car. This model v🍷isually 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 ཧmade in just four years - to double the range of the car and increase the power output is the result of a great effort.

"With the support of so many manufacturerꦑs, Formula E will con🐓tinue to push the development of electric vehicle technology, and promote sustainable mobility in many cities around the world."
