When most people think of EV racing, something like Formula E or Tesla Corsa probably comes to mind. But, as EVs go mainstream, they also penetrate into all kinds of racing. Even things normally associated with combustion, like the late Ken Block’s Gymkhana videos, eventually featured EVs. During the past few weeks, we’re seeing an automaker enter EV racing which hasn’t done it before, and we’re hearing from a neat off-road racing series.
The Gen3 will be the quickest and most efficient Formula E car ever, providing 600kW of regenerative power with 95% efficiency. This permits more than 40% of energy used in a race to come exclusively from regenerative braking. The innovative technology, software, and knowledge utilized in Formula E not only improves its competitiveness but also transfers over to Maserati’s high-end road cars through its upcoming Folgore range.
For the season, ABT has presented a whole new look for its car. This multi-dimensional livery incorporates deep purple and fluorescent yellow tones to match the UrbanRebel, CUPRA GEN3 Formula E car and its e-Racer counterpart. Furthermore, this all electric off road racer is an indication of what’s to come in 2024 with its second 100% electric model — the CUPRA Tavascan produced in Barcelona that will be available worldwide.
