Formula E: Know all about GEN3 Evo race car that's dominating the track this season

The GEN3 Evo race car is tearing through the Formula E circuit in Season 11, redefining speed, agility, and performance. With lightning-fast acceleration, cutting-edge features, and a robust design, it has quickly become the dominant force on the track. For fans, it means electrifying action; for drivers, fierce new rivalries. In short, the GEN3 Evo is the future of racing. What makes the GEN3 Evo a revolutionary leap in electric racing Faster, quicker, unstoppable The GEN3 Evo can go from 0 to 60 mph in just 1.82 seconds (0-100 kph in 1.86s), making it 30% quicker than a current F1 car. With performance gains of 2%, it's not just fast — it's engineered for excellence. It's also the world's first net-zero carbon race car, with performance enhancements delivered through state-of-the-art software engineering. Aerodynamic body and enhanced grip Sleek, sturdy, and more aerodynamic than ever, the GEN3 Evo is built for high-intensity, wheel-to-wheel racing. It features all-weather Hankook iON tires, offering 5–10% moe grip and crafted from 35% recycled and sustainable materials — a 9% improvement over the GEN3 specs. Top speed Yes, you read that right. The GEN3 Evo clocks a top speed of 200 mph. With its 600 kW regenerative braking system, the car can generate nearly 50% of the energy required for a race — during the race itself. And thanks to its electric motor, it achieves over 95% energy efficiency. Battery and sustainability This machine doesn't just race — it respects the planet. Battery minerals are ethically sourced, and the chassis incorporates recycled carbon fiber and natural materials like linen. A groundbreaking new tech enables a 30-second, 600 kW high-speed mid-race charge, giving drivers a strategic energy boost when they need it most. Current Driver Standings for the season At the top of the leaderboard is Nissan's Oliver Rowland, leading the pack with 69 points. Hot on his heels is Antonio Felix da Costa of Tag Heuer Porsche, sitting in second with 54 points. Just behind is his teammate, Pascal Wehrlein, with 51 points — a score he shares with the youngest driver on the grid, Taylor Barnard, who continues to impress in his rookie season.
