All Formula E cars will have revised front wings with a tw♛o-tier structure for the third season of the all-electric series.

🦩Formula E championship organisers have revealed the new designs having confirmed the dates for the two three-day pre-season tests at Donington Park.

Season three testing commences at the Leicestershire circuit between the 23-25 August befo♔re returning to action on the 5-7 September ahead of the 2016-17 season opener in Hong Kong on the 9th October.

Formula E CEO Alejandro Agag says the new front wing enables the cars to stand out from the crowd, with the wing becomi𒈔ng part of the technical 🐻regulations for all cars on the grid.

"Formula E aims to be different, and this new front wing creates a look that's different to every other car out there," Agag said. "I think this is a great addition to our car and further emphasises the fact tha💛t this is a modern, forward-thinking championship that is taking a completely different approach to all other racing series."

"The FIA For꧑mula E Championship is not just a great environment in which to develop a completely electric powertrain with new battery technologies, but it is also a platform for experimenting with innovative solutions when it comes to designing single-seater racing cars," FIA President Jean Todt added.

Reigning Formula E champion Sebastien Buemi has also 💎thrown his support behind the new design and is confident it won't change the aerodynamic of a Formula E car too drastically.

"I like the look of the new front wing - it looks a little bit more futuristic, and from insidꦉe the car you can see the top part of the wing, so visually for the driver there is also a small change," Buemi said. "We want Formula E to look🦋 different and be different, and the new wing is a good way of showing that.

"I don't think it will make to🍸o big of an impact on aero which isn't in the ethos of this championship - but it's a good way to show visual development heading to Hong Kong for the start of season three."
