Opel to join Formula E

Starting from the 2026/27 season, Opel will enter a GSE Formula E Team in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship.

Entry for Opel involves four-year contract, with the brand set to put its GEN4 all-electric race cars on the grid.

These cars have a peak output of up to 600 kW (816 hp) and permanent all-wheel drive to provide significantly more grip.

“Joining Formula E marks a new milestone for Opel on our journey towards an electric future,” said Opel CEO, Florian Huettl.

“With Formula E moving to GEN4 cars as of the coming season, we see this as the ideal time to join this exciting, all-electric racing competition.”

Before Formula E kicks off its new and now 13th season, the Opel GSE Formula E Team will make its first public appearance during the official GEN4 launch at the Paul Ricard racetrack in Le Castellet in April, giving a first glimpse of its look and further updates.
