Formula E Gen4: 804 hp Electric Beast on the Horizon

The upcoming Formula E Gen4 car boasts a massive power upgrade, jumping from 470 hp to a staggering 804 hp, nearing the power of F1 cars. Despite the significant power boost, energy efficiency remains a key focus, with regenerative braking reaching 700 kW. Williams Advanced Engineering is out, replaced by Italian battery supplier Podium Advanced Technologies, and Bridgestone takes over tire supply from Hankook, introducing high and low-downforce wing configurations. Performance will sit between F1, F2, and IndyCar; while not matching F1's cornering prowess, the Gen4's 800+ hp and AWD will deliver blistering acceleration out of corners. Testing has already seen speeds of 210 mph (338 km/h).
