Based on the Spark-Renault SRT_01E platform, the Audi e-tron FE04 was Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler’s competitor for the 2017-18 Formula E season. Heading into the new season, ABT Audi Sport became Audi Sport ABT to reflect the increased manufacturer involvement from Audi. The driver line-up remained unchanged as defending champion Lucas di Grassi was joined once again by Daniel Abt.
The season started poorly for the Audi Sport team in Hong Kong. Di Grassi suffered rear suspension failure after a collision with Sebastian Buemi during the first race, though Abt did salvage a fifth-place finish after struggling with technical errors himself. In the second race, di Grassi stopped temporarily at the side of the track at turn six with a battery management system fault, falling to 17th after managing to restart his car. He failed to reach the points. Abt continued his good form, taking advantage of the Edoardo Mortara’s mistake to take the race victory. The victory was short lived though, as three hours after the race, it was announced by the FIA stewards that Abt's car was not compliant with the Formula E technical regulations and he was disqualified, taking away Abt’s first Formula E victory. The poor start continued in Marrakesh and Santiago as Audi took a solitary point in total. Di Grassi retired with a battery management system failure and Abt took tenth place in the former, whilst a double retirement, di Grassi due to an electrical problem and Abt because of a loss of power, in the latter ensured Audi Sport, who had dropped to seventh place (63 points behind the leading Mahindra team), had a lot of work to do.
Things hugely improved at race four in Mexico City, as the team got into its stride. No race would finish for the rest of the season without one of the Audi Sport duo on the podium. Abt achieved this first in Mexico, taking his long-awaited maiden victory and becoming the first ever German Formula E race winner. Di Grassi’s form picked up at the following race and, after some much improved reliability, he gained four successive second place finishes, in Punta del Este, Rome, Paris and Berlin. In the latter, Audi’s home ePrix, the duo scored a 1-2 victory as Abt claimed the sport’s first Grand Slam, qualifying on pole, claiming the fastest lap and winning the race. Di Grassi carried his form into Zurich and scored his first victory of the season after a superb drive from fifth on the grid, keeping Audi in championship contention. Going into the final weekend, Audi Sport were 33 points behind the Techeetah-Renault team who were leading the championship. In the penultimate race, Di Grassi scored a race win ahead of his teammate Abt in second; the perfect result for the team, closing the gap at the top of the Championship to just five points. Though Techeetah rival Jean-Eric Vergne secured maximum points as he triumphed in the season’s final race, di Grassi and Abt earned a 2-3 finish whilst the other Techeetah of Lotterer failed to score the seventh place required, sparking jubilant celebrations in the Audi garage. The incredible haul of 76 points in the final two races in New York saw Audi Sport claim the title by a narrow two-point margin.
Overall, the Audi e-tron FE04 earned four victories, 7 further podiums and 264 points for Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler, claiming them the Teams’ Championship title. Di Grassi and Abt finished second and fifth respectively in the Drivers’ Championship.
The Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler Audi e-tron FE04 is limited to just 99 pieces.

Our longstanding collaboration with Formula E continues with the first of our Limited Edition 1:8 scale model of the GEN3 car in its 2023 livery. With many connections to Formula E, we have been increasingly involved as the series grows in strength each season, working alongside the Formula E teams and manufacturers. We can develop and supply models with any team’s livery from any race, subject to approval from the relevant team and discussions are already underway with several teams to supply models in their livery. Contact our sales team now to explore our tailor-made service for fans, drivers, teams, and sponsors or to order your model.
The GEN3 is the world’s first race car designed and optimised specifically for street racing. It is the future of all-electric high-performance motorsport, developed by engineers and sustainability experts at the FIA and Formula E, and is the pinnacle of high performance, efficiency and sustainability. Designed to show the world that high performance and sustainability can powerfully co-exist without compromise, the GEN3 pioneers cutting-edge technologies that will make the transfer from race to road. While aerodynamic development programs have been central to driving incremental improvement in motorsport for decades, the launch of the GEN3 propels software engineering forwards as a new battleground for motorsport innovation and competition. Performance upgrades to the GEN3 will be delivered as software updates directly to the advanced operating system built into the car.
Unveiled to the public at the Yacht Club de Monaco during the Monaco ePrix, the GEN3 made its debut in Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Mexico City at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit on the 13th and 14th of January 2023. As the season continues, some of the world’s greatest manufacturers will be racing wheel-to-wheel on the streets of iconic global cities. Seven of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers have registered with the FIA to race the new GEN3 in this Season of the ABB FIA World Championship: DS Automobiles, Jaguar, Mahindra Racing, Maserati, NIO 333, Nissan and Porsche AG.
Every aspect of GEN3 production has been rethought, redesigned and rebuilt to ensure the car sets the benchmark for high-performance, sustainable racing without compromise. It is the fastest Formula E car yet with a top speed over 200 mph (322 kph) and up to 350kW of power (470 bhp), as well as the most efficient formula racing car ever with more than 40% of the energy used within a race produced by regenerative braking. The car is the first Formula E car with both front and rear powertrains, delivering a phenomenal 95% power efficiency from an electric motor, compared to approximately 40% for an internal combustion engine.
GEN3 batteries are among the most advanced, sustainable batteries ever made consisting of sustainably-sourced minerals while battery cells will be reused and recycled at end of life. Linen and recycled carbon fibre will be used in bodywork construction for the first time in a formula car featuring recycled carbon fibre from retired GEN2 cars and reducing the overall amount of virgin carbon fibre used. This will reduce the carbon footprint of the production of the GEN3 bodywork more than 10%. All waste carbon fibre will be reused for new applications through adoption of an innovative process from the aviation industry. Natural rubber and recycled fibres will make up 26% of new GEN3 tyres and all tyres will be fully recycled after racing. The carbon footprint of the GEN3 has been measured from the design phase to inform all reduction measures taken to reduce environmental impact, while all unavoidable emissions will be offset as part of Formula E’s net zero carbon commitment. All GEN3 suppliers will operate in line with top international standards to reduce environmental impacts of manufacturing (ISO 14001) and be FIA Environmental Accreditation 3-Star rated.

The first vehicle to have ever been designed by world motorsport’s governing body, the FIA, the Spark SRT05E, also known as the Spark Gen2 or simply Gen2, is the current base platform designed for use in the FIA Formula E Championship. Built by Spark Racing Technology with assistance from Italian manufacturer Dallara, the Gen2 has been used since the 2018-2019 season, succeeding the Spark-Renault SRT_01E, and will be used until at least the 2022-23 season.
The all-electric race car almost doubled the energy storage capacity and the range of its predecessor and enabled the teams and drivers to complete a full race at higher speeds, without having to make a mid-race car swap. Despite the increase in battery life, power output was increased, allowing the Gen2 to accelerate to 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 2.8 seconds towards a top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h). Powered by a new 56 kWh battery assembled by McLaren Applied Technologies, the Gen2 car is clear proof of the advancements in battery and electric motor technology achieved in the space of only four years, which will eventually make its way into everyday electric road cars. At the time of its launch, Formula E’s Founder and CEO stated: “this car represents the future of racing. When we started Formula E, our goal was to break the mould and challenge the status quo - bringing a revolution to motorsport. This next generation car represents that revolution."
Aside from the sleek and spectacular Batmobile-like bodywork, which visually differentiated Formula E’s racers from any other single-seaters in motorsport, the Gen2 Formula E car benefitted from the new Halo head protection device, which forms part of the chassis. With a nifty strip of LED lighting, fans were able to follow the strategy of their favourite team or driver - with the lights indicating different power modes and other race-related information. Keeping the car planted on the track was the job of the Michelin Pilot Sport all-weather tyre, specifically designed for electric street racing. Lighter than its predecessors, the tyre also created less rolling resistance, helping the cars travel faster for longer.
The Gen2 proved particularly robust during its debut season in 2018/19, allowing drivers to be more aggressive than they otherwise could have been, prompting several drivers and teams to complain to the sport’s authorities. The result was the news that the car will receive a facelift ahead of the 2020/21 season, which was designed to punish drivers for making contact by introducing “self-punishing” noses and bodywork.

Based on the new Spark SRT05E “Gen2” platform, the M5 Electro was Mahindra Racing’s competitor for the 2018/19 (Season 5) round of the FIA Formula E Championship. The team was fronted by long-standing Formula E and former Dragon driver Jerome d’Ambrosio and rookie driver Pascal Wehrlein. Wehrlein didn’t join the team until January and so Mahindra retained one of their drivers from the previous season, Felix Rosenqvist, for the season opener. Season 5 also saw Mahindra partnering with Pininfarina, incorporating the expertise of the Italian design house with the digital technology prowess of Tech Mahindra to enhance the M5's performance. Under the new partnership, Mahindra also gained access to Pininfarina's wind tunnel testing facilities, which helped the team in developing the aerodynamic efficiency of its race car.
Retaining Mahindra’s traditional red and white paint scheme, the new car offered increased battery storage compared to their predecessor, almost double, meaning the mandatory mid-race car swap was eliminated completely. The M5 Electro was more powerful as well with power output, from the new 56 kWh battery supplied by McLaren Applied Technologies, pushed to 250 kw (or 335bhp). The car could accelerate to 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just 2.8 seconds, with a potential top speed of 174 mph (280 km/h). In the first set of closed tests at the Monteblanco circuit in Southern Spain, Rosenqvist clocked a fastest lap of 01:02.14 and completed a total distance of 102.6km.
The M5 Electro started strongly. At the season opener in Saudi Arabia, D’Ambrosio scored a podium after qualifying eighth, despite nursing diffuser damage after an earlier contact with André Lotterer. Rosenqvist, on his last appearance for Mahindra, unluckily retired on lap eight after a rear transmission failure. D’Ambrosio continued his strong start to the season in race two in Marrakesh, winning the race by a tiny margin of 0.143 seconds, after qualifying in tenth position. Sadly, Wehrlein’s debut was marred by a forced retirement after Lucas di Grassi misjudged his braking point and rammed into him. However, in the following race in Santiago, it was Wehrlein’s time to shine, qualifying third and comfortably finishing second. Heartbreak followed in race four in Mexico City, as Wehrlein lost the lead to Lucas di Grassi just meters from the finish line after running out of energy in the final corner. To intensify the pain, in his attempts to keep di Grassi behind him on the final lap, Wehrlein cut a chicane prompting the stewards to give him a five-second penalty, which subsequently dropped him to sixth place. The rest of the season regularly saw at least one driver in the points, a particular exception being the Hong Kong ePrix, where both drivers retired having only completed one lap. This double retirement was due to an collision: the duo both crashed into Dragon driver Felipe Nasr after he himself collided with the wall at Turn 2.
Overall, the M5 Electro earned one win, two further podiums and 125 points for Mahindra Racing, claiming them sixth in the Teams’ Championship.
The Mahindra M5 Electro is limited to just 99 pieces.

Having won the Teams’ Championship in the inaugural FIA Formula E Championship, Renault e.dams returned for its second campaign in 2015/16 with one goal: to secure both the Teams’ and Drivers’ titles. After renewing their partnership with Renault, the e.dams team revealed the Z.E. 15, complete with an all-new Renault Sport F1 designed electric powertrain. Renault increased its direct involvement, aiming to exploit its practical experience in both the technical and sporting sides of the sport as well as using the brand’s prowess in Formula 1 for a competitive edge. Driven by the duo of Nicolas Prost and Sébastien Buemi, the Z.E. 15 was capable of reaching 62 mph (100km/h) in four seconds on towards a top speed of 133mph (215 km/h). Based on the Spark-Renault SRT_01E platform, the car had a honeycomb monocoque chassis made of carbon fibre and aluminium, that had to weigh in at over 888kg (including the driver). Renault developed two distinctive cooling systems, one for the 360kg battery, the other for the 200kw electric motor.
e.dams started the season strongly at the opening Beijing e-Prix. Buemi qualified on pole and subsequently dominated the race, setting the fastest lap and becoming the first driver in Formula E to earn the maximum 30 points from a single race weekend. Prost retired on lap 24 with a broken rear wing. The team’s positive start was reversed in Putrajaya, though Buemi qualified first again, as overheating issues ensured the duo struggled to make it into the points. Prost earned tenth position and Buemi failed to finish in the top ten but collected points for the fastest lap and his pole position. Rivals ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport took over the lead of the Teams’ Championship. It was the only time the e.dams team failed to top the standings all season.
Podiums continued to flow for the Z.E. 15 as Buemi claimed victory in Punta del Este before finishing second in Buenos Aires. A 2-3 finish in Mexico City, partly due to Audi driver Lucas di Grassi’s disqualification from first position, saw the team extend its lead to 34 points with half the season complete. A rare off day in the Long Beach ePrix saw the duo both receive drive-through penalties. Neither driver placed in the points, though Buemi again claimed the fastest lap. A much better performance for Renault e.dams at their home ePrix in Paris saw them claim third and fourth positions. By this point, with three races to go, e.dams led the Teams’ Championship by seven points, whilst the Drivers’ title was ultimately down to two competitors: Buemi and di Grassi, with the latter leading by eleven points. At the penultimate race weekend in Berlin, Buemi took the victory whilst Prost finished in fourth, with the rival Audi drivers sandwiched in between. All four drivers finished within 3.5 seconds of each other, and Buemi’s win took him within one point of di Grassi. With both championships to be decided, the final double header race weekend in London looked set to be spectacular. Rain in qualifying caught out the top two and both suffered penalties, starting them in the back half of the grid. Prost seized his opportunity, claiming his first pole position of the season. Prost drove a dominant race, winning the race a full five seconds ahead of his next rival. Buemi came home in fifth, losing another two points to di Grassi. e.dams had all but secured the title, nothing but a complete disaster would close the 37 point gap they had opened up to Audi in second. Buemi put his car on pole for the final race, meaning that the rivals would start level on points, creating a real winner takes all situation. A chaotic start saw di Grassi misjudge the closing speed of his rival into turn three, meaning he slammed into the back of Buemi. The Brazilian snapped his front suspension, while Buemi lost his rear wing but was pitched into a 180-degree spin. Both limped back to the pits and set out klito duel for the Championship by trying to set the fastest lap. As Prost cruised at the front to a second victory in two days, confirming Renault’s successive Championship victories, Buemi, after several stops in the pits, found some space behind team mate Prost and snatched fastest lap, earning himself the title he missed out on by one point the previous season.
Overall, the Z.E. 15 earned five wins, four further podiums and 270 points for Renault Sport e.dams, claiming them their second successive Teams’ Championship title. Sébastien Buemi won the Drivers’ Championship whilst teammate Nico Prost came third. Renault Sport e.dams’ haul of points is still the largest amount of points accrued by a single team in a season of Formula E.

Renault e.dams’s entry for the third season of the FIA Formula E Championship, the Z.E. 16 successfully clinched the Teams’ Championship title for the third consecutive campaign, as the French team reasserted its supremacy in the all-electric single-seater series.
From the electric motor to the gearbox, energy recovery and battery management systems, the technological solutions engineered by Renault e.dams were once again the championship benchmark. The competitive environment of Formula E once again allowed the team to glean a lot of invaluable information that is also instrumental in Renault’s future development of electric technology. Sporting a vivid blue colour livery with flashes of bright yellow, the Z.E. really stood out from the Formula E pack. The dynamic choice of colour was designed to create visual synergies and firmly anchored the Renault e.dams team within the Renault and Renault Z.E. brands. The F.E. car featured the colours in matt, with the reflective flashes of the accent colours, a trait shared with the Renault Formula One car. Both also incorporated the Renault diamond logo and sponsor logos in a monotone design, which resulted in a pure, elegant livery and very legible branding.
The team faced stiffer competition than the previous year, particularly from close rivals ABT Schaeffler Audi Sport and Mahindra Racing. In evidence of the series’ ultra-competitive nature, it was not until the fifth event that a Renault Z.E. 16 claimed its first pole position of the season, though arguably this was partially explained by the fact the team predominantly focused its preparations on the races. It was a strategy that clearly paid off, with six victories from the 12 races. Defending champion Sébastien Buemi proved to be a class apart from his opponents when it really mattered, winning the opening three rounds of the campaign, in Buenos Aires and two new additions to the Formula E calendar: Hong Kong and Marrakech. The Swiss ace did not stop there either, going on to triumph in Monaco, Paris and Race 2 in Berlin. His success in Paris would be the highlight of the season, given Renault-e.dams’ fervent desire to prevail on home turf. It was also vital for Buemi to win as many races as possible before the New York double header, which he had to miss due to clashing FIA World Endurance Championship commitments. Despite this absence, he arrived in Montreal for the final weekend of the season at the top of the provisional Drivers’ standings. Unfortunately, a complicated weekend in Canada, combined with a disqualification in Race 1 in Berlin, prevented him from successfully defending his 2015/2016 crown despite a score of six victories. Buemi’s teammate Nico Prost was incredibly consistent, he finished between fourth and ninth places in each of the 12 races, though sadly failed to gain a podium. His reliability proved as crucial to the team as Buemi’s wins, as Renault e.dams won the Championship by 20 points, a margin less than the total points available from one race.
Overall, the Z.E. 16 earned six wins and 270 points for Renault Sport e.dams, claiming them their third successive Teams’ Championship title. Sébastien Buemi and Nico Prost finished the Drivers’ Championship in second and sixth places respectively.
The Renault Sport e.dams Z.E. 16 is limited to just 99 pieces.
