LONDON — Following the announcement of its highly anticipated return to competitive motorsport, Lola Cars revealed that its involvement in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship will also extend into the GEN4 era.
This commitment ensures its participation in the championship until at least 2030.
The iconic, globally renowned motorsport brand, which has more than 500 championship wins, will join the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as a manufacturer from next season for the new GEN3 Evo era. The latest commitment to GEN4 will take their participation in the championship through to at least 2030, through six seasons of the groundbreaking all-electric series.
Lola’s commitment to Formula E is the first of many exciting projects to come, as the iconic British company re-establishes itself as an industry leader in sustainable engineering and motorsport. With their focus on electrification, hydrogen and sustainable fuels, its commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship starting next year for Season 11 will act as a stepping-stone to further innovate in these key areas.
Alongside Lola, three other major manufacturers—Nissan, Porsche, and Jaguar—have also committed to the GEN4 era. Their participation promises electric racing fans even more excitement and competitive racing for years to come as the championship continues to grow and expand globally.
Formula E’s next-generation GEN4 technology will be introduced in Season 13 (2026/27), and includes unparalleled advancements in efficiency, performance and safety. Aligned with Lola’s goals to further develop sustainable mobility technology, advanced features like all-wheel drive and increased efficiency will provide a new technical challenge for the British manufacturer on an already-competitive grid that includes some of the industry’s leading OEMs and teams.
While specific technical details for the GEN4 era are yet to be revealed by the FIA and Formula E, it is confirmed that the cars will feature 600kW of power, up from GEN3’s 350kW, and 700kW regenerative braking, compared to the current 600kW—a significant increase.
