Derestricted £, 200mph Formula E Car | Top Gear

There’s nothing quite like a racing car that’s allowed to break the rules which govern it. Enter the GenBeta – based off the current Gen 3 racer, it’s a potential test bed for where Formula E goes next. Four-wheel drive, for starters. The front motor-generator, which is usually only on power harvesting duty, is allowed to contribute some grunt here, so thanks to an uprated battery this £ one-off generates over 530bhp and gets off the line faster on softer, stickier tyres. Handy, when you want to shatter the indoor land speed world record. Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: WATCH MORE TOP GEAR: First Looks:   First Drives: American Tuned ft.
