GENBETA Car developed by Formula E and innovation partner SABIC breaks Guinness World Record for speed
Experience the groundbreaking speed and innovation of the GENBETA car, a marvel of electric engineering and design. Recently, this impressive vehicle, developed jointly by Formula E and SABIC, secured its place in history by setting a new Guinness World Record for the fastest speed achieved by a vehicle indoors - an astonishing 218.71 kilometers per hour. Pushed to its limit by renowned ABB FIA Formula E World Championship drivers, Jake Hughes and Lucas di Grassi, in the challenging Duals format, the GENBETA showcases the pinnacle of electric vehicle performance.
Formula E, the world's first all-electric Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) World Championship, has been leading the way in sustainable sports, being a certified net-zero carbon initiative since its inception. Embodying the spirit of innovation, the GENBETA car represents a live development and innovation project that explores new materials and technologies for the future of electric race and road cars.
Key to its success are the cutting-edge materials from SABIC, the innovation partner of Formula E, who has backed the design and development of revolutionary components based on Gen3 technology. These materials, highly engineered thermoplastics, grant the GENBETA unprecedented design freedom and moldability. Notably, the front wing endplates, strategically integrated using an advanced 3D printing process called fused deposition modeling, play a pivotal role in redirecting airflow around the front wheels, resulting in reduced drag and improved performance.
Moreover, SABIC's sustainable mechanically-recycled thermoplastics from the TRUCIRCLETM circular materials portfolio are responsible for the remarkable wheel fins, enhancing both speed and eco-friendliness. The wind deflector, another marvel of engineering, crafted from a bio-renewable, low-carbon material from the TRUCIRCLE portfolio, optimizes airflow to decrease drag and further contributes to the GENBETA's incredible speed.
In conclusion, the GENBETA car's record-breaking performance and its partnership with Formula E and SABIC symbolize a groundbreaking era in electric vehicle racing. With its dedication to sustainability, innovation, and cutting-edge technology, the GENBETA paves the way for a cleaner and faster future in motorsports and beyond. Get ready to witness the evolution of electric racing with the GENBETA - the epitome of speed, performance, and eco-consciousness.
