A reveal on my Birthday? Sweet!

I haven't really got anything negative to say about that design. That is pure badassery (can I say that?). They've even made the halo slightly cool by integrating the LED bar. Nice work I say. 👍

 

[Carbon_6]

It looks fantastic... which is what I would be thinking if the halo wasn't what my eyes were being drawn to.

 

[PzR Slim]

That looks pretty damn good.

I thought that headline image was a Scapes shot at first, thinking we were getting Formula E in the next GT Sport update. Seriously though, if this is the future of race cars, appearance wise, I'm all for it.

My first thought was "Is this replacing the Light Bike in the next Tron movie?"

 

[FT-1]

Doesn't even matter that it has a halo, that is a damn fine looking race car!

 

[Lee x sensai]

I don't like last year car design the reason I didn't watch formula E. with this new design I going watch it and interested this time around.

 

[AudiMan2011]

I preferred the simpler design of the first-gen without the double-decker nose. This new one looks like it's trying too hard. The halo doesn't help the aesthetic either.

 

[Nacho Libre]

Pops Racer would be proud... does it have a Bernoulli convergenator?

 

[Downhill Dino]

Hotwheels and concept designs are finally coming true!

 

[ColinNZ]

That's a huge improvement, and the halo doesn't look terrible. But the best thing is that these cars will actually do the entire race ... always looks a bit comical when they change cars in the middle of the race.

 

[Northstar]

it looks nice, what’s really going to make it watchable is the end of car swaps!

 

[05XR8]

That's cool. Its like a mix of Indy car and LMP roadster.

 

[Mires]

At first sight i thought it was the Mazda LM55 VGT with some finest livery. ^^

Anyway, this looks really really good and i think i'll add formula E into my schedule to watch.

PS: this calls for a Mazda LM55 VGT livery in this design now i think I'll have a look at this too

 

[RaceFuchs]

I really like it, looks simply cool. Its impressive to see how Formula E is developing. There are many great drivers, all the manufacturers are hopping in and it gets more attention then most other championships. This new car is simply impressive. Looks like Formula E can be cool after all. Can't wait to see the Porsche design.

 

[UnkaD]

I feel out of place after these first comments, but I think the rear bodywork is ghastly. I'm not knocking down the idea of a split spoiler, but the implementation here is just off-putting. Also, the wheels are too big for the brakes. I'm quite fond of the wheels that the Audi ABT team used last year.

 

[lancia delta hf]

Looks really good. Still zero interest in watching it though.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Looks a little like a cross between old and new. The way the design sweeps towards the back of the car reminds me of older prototypes with the high tail.

 

[Moby45]

Except the halo still doesn't even look good.

 

[jontikis]

I really like it. They've implemented the halo on it very nicely, so it doesn't annoy me so much as in previous attempts.

 

[CHEN255]

A gorgeous looking car!
