Check out the Brand New Formula E Design

[wombat999]

I know some alternative to internal combustion engines as we know them is imperative, common sense points firmly in that direction.
And of course, Formula E should be considered one of the marketing tools in that direction.
I must admit that I do not like the cars, not the initial version, not the 'new' version.
However, the millennial generation probably love them.
An 'Electric' touring cars series would be far more relevant.

LMP-e

Looks great to me and seems a big step forward in technology. Formula E should focus on electric/hybrid engines en F1 should return to 'classic' engines (v8/10/12). Fans of either one series will become very happy!

Can't wait to try this out in rF2... So S397... working on it already???

When is an engine not an engine? When its an Electric Motor. Never heard of an Electric Engine before.

thats not a formula car anymore...

 

[RichardHessels]

Anybody has some details about the new battery technology? That sounds quite interesting.

Not interested in Formula E but the tech behind it is still (unfortunately) our only foreseable future...

Probably twice as much LiPo cells.

Might be an idea for those who want more noise.

Looks like a damn batman's iron...

They are copying the Race Department logo.

Sue them for millions!!!!

Put a screaming V8 in it and I'll watch
Gen3 will evolve into a full LMP I guess lol

Unless LMP is faster to devolve into full electric.

The best part of the new car.......................the paint job. The rest is not worth my precious time.

Disappointing it is not an open wheeler anymore, they need to drop the formula from the name now, that is only appropriate.

 

[Phil Davies]

Looks nice,But it needs a Carbon Monoxide Generator ,For us Oldies Sound and Smell are all vital parts of the whole experience.

 

[InsaneOzzie]

This should explain my feelings toward the Halo!!!

 

[Michael Watts]

Beautiful car, but might as well be racing an electric go-kart. What’s next a NASCAR Prius?

 

[Kjell Eilertsen]

Looks stunning, better than the current F1 cars imo.
I'm with the pack here that watch motorsport for the racing, not for the sound, I honestly don't understand all the fuzz about the sound as it's a complete non issue to me. Each to his or her own.

 

[formidable]

Pretty well integrated Halo.

The problem? Is electric, and the electric cars doesn't have the personality from a good petrol engine.

 

[Shaun Clarke]

Vacuum cleaner sound, no way!

HA HA, that sounds like me re-tracking my hover cable

 

[Edivad82]

Surely not more open wheels.

Hi Kjell. If you like you can turn the volume down in RRE and pretend you are racing these cars too. Great fun mate.
Like you said, each to their own.
