Nissan returns for its fourth season of competition in the all-electric street racing series to powerfully demonstrate the excitement and performance of its EV technology.

Nissan unveiled the new racing livery today, with the dramatic black and red design inspired by the Japanese kimono. An appealing design flourish on the car’s nosecone area created by Alfonso Albaisa, Nissan’s senior vice president for global design, shows the characteristic sharp folds of the kimono.

“We want to be bolder than ever in this new Formula E racing season,” said Tommaso Volpe, Nissan global motorsports director. “Nissan is here not only to race and win, but to entertain the fans and showcase just how thrilling electric vehicles can be. With our powerful new racing livery our cars will be unmissable on the track as we compete in this exciting global championship. We will also be activating our racing endeavors like never before this season with fresh and innovative activities such as our Nissan Brain to Performance program that aims to train our racing drivers’ brains to be even faster. We can’t wait to get Season 8 started.”

Nissan races in this all-electric world championship to bring the excitement and fun of zero-emission electric vehicles to a global audience. As part of its goal to achieve carbon neutrality across its operations and the life cycle of its products by 2050, Nissan intends to electrify all-new Nissan vehicle offerings by the early 2030s in key markets. Nissan aims to bring its expertise in transferring knowledge and technology between the race track and road for better electric vehicles for customers.

Along with its bold new livery for Season 8, the team will also have an exciting new driver line-up. Joining record-holding Formula E veteran Sebastien Buemi, who remains with the team for a fourth season, will be rising star Maximilian Guenther.

The German racer has shown brilliant pace already in Formula E with three race victories and a second-place podium. Guenther will join Buemi and the team at the official Formula E pre-season test at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Valencia, Spain, November 29 to December 2.

Nissan e.dams co-team principals Gregory and Olivier Driot issued this joint statement:

“We are very excited and looking forward to seeing our stunning new livery on track. We were competitive towards the end of last season and the team has continued to work hard during the break. Our aim is to be competing at the front of the field from the opening race in Diriyah. We are delighted to have Maximilian on board and we believe he and Sebastien will form a strong partnership, which should bring success on and off-track.”
