Formula E Concepts by Mahindra &
Pininfarina
Mahindra, together with famous Italian
design company Pininfarina have drawn up a series of concept designs meant to
inspire the appearance of the next-generation Formula E car.
Right now, Mahindra is actually looking
for feedback on these designs on their social media sites (Facebook, Twitter
& Instagram) and fans will need to use "#FormulaEConcepts" in
order to have their opinions heard.
According to Dilbagh Gill, Mahrinda Racing
team principal and head of the Formula E Teams Association, there are other,
even more radical concepts soon to come.
"We thought to start with we'd put
out the milder versions," said Gill during a recent interview with
Autosport. "We want to make it clear it's still at a very early state, to
facilitate the discussion. We have an interest in a car that's relevant four or
five years down the line from season five, so 2022-23. That's where we need
this leap of faith."
The team principal added that the intention
is for them to end up with "something futuristic and not something similar
to what's already out there," which is something fans everywhere want to
hear.
Fabio Filippini, chief creative officer
at Pininfarina, also spoke with excitement about his company's involvement with
Formula E, stating that it's "one of the most exciting signs of the
changes under way in the automotive world as well as in motor racing."
