Gaydon, United Kingdom, 28 April 2022 Following Formula E’s global reveal of the all-new Gen3 race car, Jaguar TCS Racing has today revealed the creative test car concept livery for the next generation of electric street racing.
A bold and modern design, inspired by abstract art, the test car concept livery signals a dramatic presentation of the new Gen3 FIA Formula E race car for Jaguar TCS Racing as they commit long-term to the next era of Formula E.
The monochromatic scheme and sharp, angular design adds a sophisticated feel to the British manufacturer’s test car. That’s reflecting the wider Jaguar brand’s sustainability-rich re-imagination of modern luxury. Jaguar will also be reimagined as an all-electric luxury brand from 2025.
The test car concept livery will be applied to the Jaguar I-TYPE Gen3 development race car. Especially during the important track test phase which starts shortly. The final livery for season nine will follow later in the year.
The lighter, more powerful and efficient Gen3 car will set a new performance benchmark for an all-electric race car. The Gen3 Formula E car will also demonstrate the rapid developments in fast-charging technology for electric vehicles. It will also help deliver more exciting racing in some of the world’s largest cities. The Gen3 car will also see power will increase to 350kW (currently 250kW).
The Gen 3 will be the world’s most efficient race car. Moreover, it will be capable of producing at least 40% of the energy used within a race from regenerative braking. Additionally, it will be the first race car to feature both front and rear powertrains. Moreover, 250kW regen is added to the front and 350kW regen is added at the rear. It more than doubles the regenerative capability of the current Formula E model. As a result, the Gen3 race car will be the first formula car not to feature rear hydraulic brakes.
Four Jaguar Gen3 Race Cars
There will be four Jaguar-powered Formula E cars on the grid. That’s from the start of next season, and for the new Gen3 era of Formula E. Jaguar will supply Envision Racing with its new powertrain technology. That includes its high-voltage electric motor, inverter, transmission, cooling system, casing, and suspension.
Jaguar TCS Racing engineers will now focus on the build, design and test of the Jaguar I-TYPE Gen3 challenger. Moreover, ahead of the official team and livery launch and Formula E testing later this year. This will sit alongside the team’s ongoing fight for the 2022 ABB FIA Formula E World Championship title. The sixth round will take place at the iconic Monaco street circuit at 15:00 local time on 30 April 2022.
