Nissan will compete against 10 other manufacturers and teams during season five, which marks major changes for Formula E. The fifth season will feature the all new Gen 2 Formula E cars with new chassis and batteries and spectacular new aerodynamics. The new cars have an increased range, enabling the championship series to eliminate the previous mid-race car swap.
Nissan has used its years of experience developing and manufacturing the Nissan Leaf - the world's best-selling electric car - to develop a new powertrain package for its Formula E car, including a new electric motor, inverter, gearbox and software.
The brand new electric race car capped a world tour on 2 December with the first Formula E demonstration in Japan at Nismo Festival, Fuji International Speedway, following a 30 November launch event in Tokyo.
