Gearing up for its seventh season competing in the all-electric Formula E racing championship, German automaker Audi has revealed its new spec race car, the appropriately named Audi E-Tron FE07, which will compete under the flag of Audi Sport ABT Shaeffler.
Many parts of the FE07's design are dictated by the International Automobile Federation and Formula E rules. The spec carbon-fiber chassis with spec carbon-fiber bodywork, the bespoke 18-inch Michelin road tires, even the 52 kWh McLaren Applied Technologies lithium-ion battery are all shared by every car on the Formula E grid. But there's more than brightly colored livery separating these cars. Teams are allowed to develop their own electric powertrain tech (within spec, of course), power management and regenerative braking software to give their drivers an edge.
