- Jaguar TCS Racing – the most‑winning team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship’s history – has revealed its GEN4 development car in a distinct test livery
- The all‑new Jaguar GEN4 proto_TYPE will make its public debut during Formula E’s GEN4 Unleashed test event at Paul Ricard, France, 21/22 April
- The Jaguar GEN4 proto_TYPE test livery depicts simulated speed data traces around the iconic Monaco circuit – the jewel in the crown of the Formula E race season ‑ for each of the team’s four generations of all‑electric racing cars
- The data traces illustrate the dramatic pace of technological advancement in Formula E, a Championship Jaguar has competed in since 2016 and the GEN1 era as part of its race‑to‑innovate strategy
- The GEN4 era in Formula E will mark a seismic performance evolution, with maximum power up from 350kW to 600kW, the introduction of permanent active all‑wheel‑drive and the ability to regen at 700kW
- GEN4 provides the biggest scope yet for Jaguar to develop its powertrain technology, ensuring Jaguar TCS Racing will continue to innovate on‑track for the direct transfer of technology to future Jaguar all‑electric road cars
The Jaguar GEN4 proto_TYPE test livery showcases the dramatic pace of technical innovation in Formula E
As development of Jaguar TCS Racing’s most advanced race car continues ahead of launching for Season 13, the Jaguar GEN4 proto_TYPE showcases the dramatic pace of technical innovation in Formula E, with its test livery depicting data‑derived speed tracings around the iconic Monaco street circuit for Jaguar’s GEN1, 2, 3 and 4 cars.
Part of these data traces highlight the calculated top speed of Jaguar TCS Racing’s GEN1‑4 cars after exiting Monaco’s famous tunnel towards the Nouvelle chicane.
Using data derived from Jaguar TCS Racing’s state‑of‑the‑art driver in‑the‑loop simulator, the Jaguar GEN4 proto_TYPE, in its high‑downforce 600kW power specification, is predicted to exit the tunnel and hit a top speed of 277km/h before braking for the chicane. That is more than 30km/h faster than the team’s current I‑TYPE 7 GEN3 Evo car (245km/h) in its 350kW mode, and almost 80km/h more than its GEN1 car (199km/h) in the simulator.
The GEN4 car would also begin a lap around the famous Monaco streets at 254km/h, 32km/h quicker than its GEN3 Evo counterpart (222km/h) and 75km/h faster than Jaguar’s GEN1 racer (179km/h).

Jaguar TCS Racing is statistically the most successful team in Formula E history to date with 25 wins and a further 33 podiums. Jaguar TCS Racing won the 2024 Teams’ World Championship and Manufacturers’ crowns. Through its commitment to the GEN4 era, spanning Seasons 13‑16 through to 2030, Jaguar will have competed in every generation of Formula E.
The all‑new GEN4 race car is set to revolutionise motorsport, with its launch for the 2026/27 Formula E season representing another significant step change in EV innovation.
There will be a substantial increase in performance and technology, with 450kW race power – up from 300kW in the current GEN3 Evo era – with 600kW power available for qualifying and in ATTACK MODE, an increase of 250kW compared to the current regulations.
The first Formula E car with Active All‑Wheel Drive (AWD) across all phases of qualifying and races ‑ and with five times more power available through the front axle – GEN4 will also feature enhanced 700kW regenerative braking, all‑new Bridgestone dry and wet weather tyres, and two bespoke aerodynamic bodywork configurations. This increased aerodynamic capability, especially in the high‑downforce setup for qualifying, will mean higher speeds and greater peak performance.

The manufacturer perimeter for GEN4 includes the design and integration of the motor, inverter, gearbox, rear suspension, active rear differential, the cooling system, drive shafts, electrical harnesses, as well as bespoke Jaguar software and controls. In addition, the GEN4 manufacturer perimeter has widened to include developing new front and rear brake‑by‑wire and DC/DC converter systems.
Jaguar TCS Racing’s GEN4 commitment reaffirms the importance of Jaguar’s race‑to‑road technology transfer strategy, with hardware and software technology proven on‑track informing the next generation of Jaguar all‑electric road cars. The increased manufacturer perimeter for GEN4 brings with it even greater scope for the development of technology on the track for the material benefit of Jaguar’s future customers on the road.
As the team prepares for the all‑new GEN4 era, Jaguar TCS Racing’s strong network of trusted partners and suppliers will continue to play a vital role in the team’s success both on and off the track.
