Formula E Gen3 Car To Make at Monaco Debut NurPhoto - Getty Images

Banners dotting the 19-turn, 2.074-mile course throughout arguably the world's most picturesque racing setting capture the buzz of this weekend's Formula E Prix, the ninth of 16 Season 9 events.
"Fait For Monaco" - "Made For Monaco" - they brag, referring to the Gen3 car that has set records and produced six different winners in the first half of this season.
Optimized for street circuits, this Gen3 powerplant is the lightest, fastest, and most powerful but efficient electric race car ever built. The car, which debuted at Mexico City earlier this year, will make its Monaco debut this weekend when it appears on the iconic street loop through Mirabeau and Casino Square, around the Grand Hotel Hairpin, and through the Monaco Tunnel and the Nouveau chicane.
The Gen3 has proven its accolades, particularly at the previous race, at Berlin. There the series rewrote its record books for most overtakes in a race (190), most lead changes at the line (20), and different race leaders in an event (eight). Earlier in the season, at Cape Town, South Africa, Nissan team headliner Sacha Fenestraz used the fastest lap in Formula E - 154.987 kph (96.304 mph), to take the pole position.
