Formula E Racing Car

Wallpaper Description:

Design
Aerodynamics optimised to facilitate overtaking
High ride height sensitivity and wide range of suspension set up possibilities to tackle the city centre streets
Cost effectiveness
Compliant to FIA safety regulations

Technology
Use of latest technology, pushing the boundaries for the future
Compromise between performance and cost effectiveness wherever possible
Extensive use of composite materials but limited usage of the most expensive carbon fibres

Dimensions
Overall length: 5000mm (max)
Overall width: 1800mm (max)
Overall height: 1250mm (max)
Track width: 1300mm (min)
Ride Height: 75mm (max)
Minimum weight (inc driver): 896kg (batteries 320kg)

Power
Maximum power: 200kw, equivalent to 270bhp
Race mode (power-saving): 150kw, equivalent to 202.5bhp
FanBoost (race-only): Temporarily increases max power from 150kw to 180kw. (Increase of 30kw / 40.5bhp)
Maximum power will be available during practice and qualifying sessions. During races, power-saving mode will apply with the FanBoost system temporarily allowing maximum power for a limited time of 5 secs per car.

The amount of energy that can be delivered to the MGU by the RESS is limited to 28kwh. This will be permanently monitored by the FIA.

Performance
Acceleration: 0 - 100 km/h (0-62mph) in 3 secs
Maximum speed: 225 km/h (140mph)
Power unit
MGU by McLaren
Maximum of two MGU's allowed
MGU's must be linked only to the rear axle
The use of traction control is forbidden

Traction battery
The traction battery is a Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) and supplies electric energy to the Power Circuit and thus to the traction motor. Any onboard battery electrically connected to the Power Circuit is considered to be an integral part of the vehicle's traction battery

RESS
A Rechargeable Energy Storage System (RESS) is a system that is designed to propel the car via the electric motor. In order to comply they must be:
- FIA Standard
- The maximum weight of the Battery Cells and/or Capacitor of the RESS must not be higher than 200kgs
- All Battery Cells must be certified to UN Transportation Standards as a minimum requirement

Chassis
Chassis / Survival cell - Carbon/aluminium honeycomb structure made by Dallara
Front and rear wing - Carbon structures and Aero styling by Dallara
Bodywork - Carbon - Kevlar honeycomb structures made by Dallara

Gearbox
Hewland paddle-shift five-speed sequential gearbox
Fixed gear ratios to reduce costs

Brakes
Standard two separate Hydraulic systems, operated by the same pedal
Brake material is free choice
Calipers; the section of each caliper piston must be circular
The body of the callipers must be made from aluminium alloy

Wheels & tyres
