Formula E Gen4 Aims to Narrow Performance Gap with Formula OnePreviousNext

Formula E is entering its Gen4 era, aiming to narrow the performance gap with Formula One by improving car speed, downforce, and technology. Gen4 cars are expected to reach speeds of around 335 km/h, with lap times improving by six to 10 seconds. Championship co-founder Alberto Longo and CEO Jeff Dodds highlight Formula E's rapid technological growth and believe both series can coexist successfully. Dodds also suggests Formula E's electric technology could eventually surpass combustion-powered Formula One cars.
