Formula E, FIA unveil Gen3 racing car, which will debut in 2022

The inspiration behind the design of the vehicle was the aero-efficient delta wing of a fighter jet

A new car is coming to Formula E . FIA introduced the Gen3 racing car on Monday, and it will be Formula E's fastest and most efficient racing car to date.

The car is built for street racing and will debut in Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, which is the 2022-2023 season.

Here's what Formula E CEO Jamie Reigle has to say about the car:

"In designing the Gen3 car, we set out to demonstrate that high performance, efficiency and sustainability can co-exist without compromise. Together with the FIA, we have built the world's most efficient and sustainable high performance race car ... It is a creature designed for its habitat: racing on city streets in wheel-to-wheel combat. We look forward to witnessing it inspire and excite the next generation of motorsport fans in cities around the world from Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship."

The inspiration behind the design of the vehicle was the aero-efficient delta wing of a fighter jet. The manufactures are still in development in testing on and off the track, but a preview was given in Valencia, Spain on Monday to get an idea of what the vehicle is like.

Here are some in-depth details on the car:

• At least 40% of the energy used within a race will be produced by regenerative braking during the race.
• It's the first formula car with both front and rear powertrains: a new front powertrain adds 250kW to the 350kW at the rear, more than doubling the regenerative capability of the current Gen2 to a total of 600kW
• It's the first formula car that will not feature rear hydraulic brakes due to the addition of the front powertrain and its regenerative capability
• Features an electric motor delivering up to 350kw of power (470BHP), capable of a top speed of 200mph (320 km/h), with a power-to-weight ratio that is twice as efficient as an equivalent 470BHP internal combustion engine (ICE).
• Lighter and smaller than the Gen2 to enable faster, more agile wheel-to-wheel racing.

On top of what is listed above, notably those specification improve on the current generation car, which has a top speed of 280km/h or 174mph.

The vehicle will also be net-zero carbon, which is consistent with the Championship's  the first sport to be certified as net-zero carbon since inception.
