02 Oct 2017|1,878 views
Audi presented its first all-electric race car in Neuburg, Germany last week. The Audi e-tron FE04 mirrors the company's transformation from a classic automobile manufacturer to a forward-thinking mobility provider on the race track. In Formula E, teams and manufacturers are allowed to develop a powertrain consisting of the motor, transmission, parts of the suspension and the respective software. The combination of the motor and transmission is the centre piece of the Audi e-tron FE04.
To transmit power to the wheels, Team Audi Sport ABT Schaeffler will be using a high-efficiency transmission with only one gear in the 2017/2018 season. A progressive new livery featuring white, metallic green and black as the basic colours visually distinguishes the Audi e-tron FE04 at first glance clearly from the car in which Lucas di Grassi won the Formula E championship title in July.
For the first time in his career, the 33-year old Brazilian is entering a new season in car number '1' of the title defender and on the occasion of the world premiere in Neuburg, he did not let the opportunity pass by of driving the softly whirring new electric race car onto the stage. The Audi e-tron FE04 will make its racing debut at the Formula E season opener in Hong Kong on 2nd December 2017.
