The 2020 Nissan Formula E race car has just been unveiled for the upcoming season of exciting electric street racing series with the goal to demonstrate its technological prowess, power, and performance on EV (electric vehicle) supremacy.
Set to compete in the sixth season of the ABB FIA Formula E Championship series, the new Nissan EV race machine was unveiled earlier today looking hella’ fresh with its red, black and white design inspired by the traditional Japanese kimono garment that symbolises longevity and good fortune.
According to Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s senior vice president for global design, “Our design team proposed a new look, one that celebrates our Japanese heritage and vibrant technology DNA. We used our iconic Nissan racing red, black and white colours layered diagonally in a kimono pattern, which creates a dynamic and powerful impression.”
With six podium finishes and six pole positions in the previous season, the Nissan e.dams team hopes that they can further propel their successful momentum going into the sixth electric race installation. Drivers Sebastien Buemi and Oliver Rowland are back at it again to further push the limits with a new single-motor race car setup.
According to Michael Carcamo, Nissan’s global motorsports director, “The second season is sometimes harder than the first. With a major change to a single-motor solution, we had plenty to do in the off-season. We’ll use everything we learned from season five to improve our package, with an even greater emphasis on battery and energy management.”
Season six of Formula E will kick off next month in Saudi Arabia. Fourteen races will be held in 12 cities, with the final double-header round taking place in London. New venues this season include Seoul, Jakarta, and the London circuit, which runs inside the Excel London exhibition centre.
