A new era of performance
The Gen3 Evo isn’t just about raw speed. This is a testament to the incredible progress in EV technology, with a performance gain of around 2% compared to its predecessor. This translates to a qualifying lap at the Monaco circuit almost two seconds faster.
The secret? A combination of all-wheel drive (AWD) available during the most intense moments of the race, an aggressive body kit for improved aerodynamics and Hankook iON tires that provide 5-10% more grip using 35% of recycled materials.

Sustainability at the heart
But speed is only part of the problem. The Gen3 Evo is the world’s only zero-carbon race car in the world’s first zero-carbon sport. It’s not just about racing; it’s running with a conscience. The regenerative braking system is so efficient that it generates almost 50% of the energy needed for a race during the race itself. With over 90% engine efficiency compared to around 50% of internal combustion engines, the Gen3 Evo is all about efficiency.
