Formula E’s all-electric Gen3 race car made its debut in Monaco this past week, and it’s the first model optimized specifically for street racing. It will appear in Season 9 (2022-2023) of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, making full use of the advances in software engineering. Participating manufacturers include: : DS Automobiles (France), Jaguar (UK), Mahindra Racing (India), Maserati (Italy), NIO 333 (UK / China), Nissan (Japan), and Porsche AG (Germany).
Think of the DS E-TENSE Performance as a Formula E race car in street-legal form. Featuring an ultra lightweight carbon fiber monocoque that is powered by two electric motors sourced straight from a Formula E race car that generates 805 horsepower and 5,900 pound-feet of torque at the wheels, the latter of which also provides it with a 600-kilowatt regeneration capacity, enabling it to hit 62 mph in a mere 2.0-seconds.
