The seventh season of Formula E, the first as an official FIA World Championship, sees Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler taking part with the Audi e-tron FE07. The latest fully-electric race car from the brand with the four rings boasts a new in-house-developed motor-generator unit, called the Audi MGU05.
The new Audi e-tron FE07 is the latest fully-electric race car from the brand with the four rings for the seventh Formula E season, the first as an official FIA World Championship. Energy conservation is extremely important in Formula E and the development of the Audi e-tron FE07 has achieved an efficiency of over 95 percent in the powertrain and clearly above 97 percent in all driving-relevant areas of the new Audi MGU05 motor-generator unit. Here, the Mexico City circuit is used as an example of how the energy flow occurs during a full lap simulation.
The FIA Formula E World Championship will be hosting its first-ever E-Prix in Spain on April 24 and 25, rounds 5 and 6 of the season. Audi factory driver René Rast explains what it is like to drive a Formula E car on the circuit in Valencia, named as the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo. Rast and teammate Lucas di Grassi will be behind the wheel of the Audi e-tron FE07 cars from Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler.
Aggressive rear wings, a distinctive fin behind the cockpit and a new front with exposed wheels – with the Gen2 EVO, Formula E already provides a glimpse of the all-electric racing series’ future. Before the official unveiling of the car at the Geneva Motor Show at the beginning of March, Audi is now showing its concept design for the Audi e-tron FE07 to be fielded starting next season. At the end of 2020, Formula E will enter its seventh season and be held as an official FIA World Championship for the first time. Aside from the visual modifications that are identically specified for all teams, the development of the powertrain remains the manufacturers’ prerogative. Thus, Formula E will continue to provide an opportunity for Audi to demonstrate its expertise in electrified powertrains going forward.
Episode 3: “El Matador” Carlos Sainz drives the Audi e-tron Vision Gran Turismo in this episode of “e-tron on track”. The car came from the virtual world and was turned into reality and used as race taxi at Formula E events.
