Formula E GEN3 Miniature Sculpture

Coming from collaborations with world leading architects and designers in its early years, Amalgam has always brought an artistic focus to the work of interpreting iconic cars into scale models. That passion has now led us towards creating partnerships with sculptors and artists, taking the work we offer to our clients and customers in new and exciting directions. Our collaboration with Remco de Reus continues to grow and diversify, with sculpts for teams, brands and collectors at various scales. In addition to several new creations at different scales for significant brands that will be gifted to owners, we will be launching two perfect little motorsport creations for teams, sponsors and collectors. Beautifully designed and cast in metal, these little pieces are instantly lovable, and continue to grow on you over time.

The GEN3 is the world’s first race car designed and optimised specifically for street racing. It is the future of all-electric high-performance motorsport, developed by engineers and sustainability experts at the FIA and Formula E, and is the pinnacle of high performance, efficiency and sustainability. Designed to show the world that high performance and sustainability can powerfully co-exist without compromise, the GEN3 pioneers cutting-edge technologies that will make the transfer from race to road. While aerodynamic development programs have been central to driving incremental improvement in motorsport for decades, the launch of the GEN3 propels software engineering forwards as a new battleground for motorsport innovation and competition. Performance upgrades to the GEN3 will be delivered as software updates directly to the advanced operating system built into the car.

Unveiled to the public at the Yacht Club de Monaco during the Monaco ePrix, the GEN3 made its debut in Season 9 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Mexico City at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez circuit on the 13th and 14th of January 2023. As the season continues, some of the world’s greatest manufacturers will be racing wheel-to-wheel on the streets of iconic global cities. Seven of the world’s leading automotive manufacturers have registered with the FIA to race the new GEN3 in this Season of the ABB FIA World Championship: DS Automobiles, Jaguar, Mahindra Racing, Maserati, NIO 333, Nissan and Porsche AG.

Every aspect of GEN3 production has been rethought, redesigned and rebuilt to ensure the car sets the benchmark for high-performance, sustainable racing without compromise. It is the fastest Formula E car yet with a top speed over 200 mph (322 kph) and up to 350kW of power (470 bhp), as well as the most efficient formula racing car ever with more than 40% of the energy used within a race produced by regenerative braking. The car is the first Formula E car with both front and rear powertrains, delivering a phenomenal 95% power efficiency from an electric motor, compared to approximately 40% for an internal combustion engine.

GEN3 batteries are among the most advanced, sustainable batteries ever made consisting of sustainably-sourced minerals while battery cells will be reused and recycled at end of life. Linen and recycled carbon fibre will be used in bodywork construction for the first time in a formula car featuring recycled carbon fibre from retired GEN2 cars and reducing the overall amount of virgin carbon fibre used. This will reduce the carbon footprint of the production of the GEN3 bodywork more than 10%. All waste carbon fibre will be reused for new applications through adoption of an innovative process from the aviation industry. Natural rubber and recycled fibres will make up 26% of new GEN3 tyres and all tyres will be fully recycled after racing. The carbon footprint of the GEN3 has been measured from the design phase to inform all reduction measures taken to reduce environmental impact, while all unavoidable emissions will be offset as part of Formula E’s net zero carbon commitment. All GEN3 suppliers will operate in line with top international standards to reduce environmental impacts of manufacturing (ISO 14001) and be FIA Environmental Accreditation 3-Star rated.
