The newly unveiled M12Electro will be the team’s challenger for the upcoming season, with ambitions to maintain a regular podium presence and remain within the top five of the standings.
The team’s broader vision for GEN4 focuses on sustaining performance gains and emerging as a strong contender for the World Championship, competing against manufacturers such as Porsche, Jaguar and Nissan.
The FIA’s recently released GEN4 technical specifications mark a significant leap in performance and sustainability. The next-generation cars will deliver 450 kW of peak race power and up to 600 kW in ATTACK MODE, along with 700 kW of regenerative braking and a race energy capacity of up to 55 kWh. Two aerodynamic setups — high-downforce for qualifying and low-downforce for races — will be available, while the chassis will use 100 per cent recyclable materials.
