The new model will be the fastest Formula E car yet with a top speed of over 322 km/h, and the most efficient formula racing car ever with more than 40% of race energy provided by regenerative braking.
Teams had already been presented with the design, unveiled to the public at an event in Monaco.
"Monaco is the spiritual home of motorsport and there is nowhere more fitting to unveil our Gen3 race car," said Jamie Reigle, Formula E CEO.
"The Gen3 disrupts and challenges the conventions of motorsport, setting the benchmark for performance, efficiency and sustainability without compromise."

"We cannot wait to see how our teams and drivers push the car to its limit in 2023.”
The car will make it's on-track debut at pre-season testing in the European winter prior to the 2022/23 season.
