The latest Formula E race cars can deliver up to 805 hp in peak output.
Each car uses a 51.25 kWh battery and reaches 62 mph in 1.8 seconds.
Porsche leads both drivers and teams titles in the 2025/2026 season.
Formula E will introduce its fourth generation of cars for the upcoming 2026/2027 season, and Porsche has become the latest company to unveil its entrant. Looking more like a concept out of a Tron film than a car that will actually race, the 975 RSE delivers far more downforce than previous entrants, which should slash lap times.
This year, the powertrains used across the Formula E grid will be uprated to deliver 805 hp in Attack Mode with permanent all-wheel drive and new tires ensuring that power is sent to the tarmac efficiently. During regular racing, power will be capped at 604 hp, and all cars will use a 51.25 kWh battery pack. The GEN4 car can sprint to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 1.8 seconds, and the 975 RSE weighs just 2,103 lbs (954 kg).
Elsewhere, the new cars offer up to 700 kW of recuperation power thanks to the regenerative braking system at the front and rear axles. They also support ultra-fast charging at up to 600 kW. But it’s the design of the GEN4 cars that will really catch the attention of fans of the single-seater, all-electric racing series.
A Racer From The Future
The front end has been overhauled and sports an all-new nose cone with an intricate multi-level splitter and complex aero elements ahead of the front wheels. The aerodynamics have also been revised along the sides, while a flowing wing is positioned at the rear. Importantly, the livery shown is for testing only, and the racer will look a little different when the season starts.
Halfway through the current 2025/2026 season, Porsche leads the current drivers’ and teams’ championships and will look to build on this success for the next season. Porsche also won the teams’ titles in 2024-2025, while current-championship leader Pascal won the drivers’ championship for the brand in 2023-2024.
“The 975 RSE and its competitors are a massive step forward for the sport,” Porsche factory driver Nico Müller said. “I’m a big fan of how aggressively you can drive. Especially in qualifying, when everyone is pushing to the limit, it should be spectacular – particularly because of the strong acceleration out of the corners. I’m glad I was involved in the simulator work from the beginning. Pascal and I share the testing duties. That’s good, because it allows us to tailor the 975 RSE precisely to our needs.”
