Andretti unveil chrome livery for Formula E's Gen4 era
Andretti have taken the covers off their latest Formula E challenger, their first for the upcoming Gen4 era. The American outfit will sport a unique chrome livery, donning the traditional colours used on the brand's Formula E machines to date.
The team will sport a monochrome tone for the upcoming season, a sleek "blinding" concept that has differed from the six liveries revealed by teams earlier this year.
Andretti branding features towards the rear of the sidepods, and the rear fins on the team's Formula E challenger will feature a unique design, in order to distinguish the team's machine for the Gen4 era.
The design is expected to stand out when Formula E goes to night races, particularly in Tokyo and Jeddah, and during the evening race at Zandvoort, as revealed in the team's trailer video on Wednesday. This is a similar case to the team's earlier Liberty Walk livery sported in Tokyo in July this year.
The American outfit had teased their new livery for the Gen4 era on social media platforms, hinting at a reveal on November 10, 2026, with a blacked-out livery as the image. While many may have been mistaken for the team not giving away any hints of their livery, the team later revealed a prismic white/black background, carrying the caption, "GEN4 loading... ⏰."
The livery was officially unveiled on 11 November, 2026, a day after Andretti had originally teased the livery reveal for their car.
The caption carries the line, "Chrome is here to stay. Introducing our 2027 Season livery." The livery has quickly caught on with fans, and many exclaiming their surprise and awe for such a unique livery on the grid.
When looked at under the lights, the team's livery carries an all-white reflection from above, reflecting the bright lights during a night race.
While the team's livery is a marked departure from the usual, it signifies the scale of change the team has undertaken going into the Gen4 era. Effectively starting off from a clean slate, like their livery, the team have swapped Porsche powertrains for Nissan going into the Gen4 era.
Former Andretti team principal Roger Griffiths stepped away from his role during the off-season, moving on to a wider advisory role at the Andretti Formula E Team and the TWG Motorsports portfolio.
Campbell Hobson takes over the reins for the team, heading into a crucial stage of the championship. In what also marks as a change, Andretti have maintained their line-up for a second consecutive season, with Jake Dennis and Felipe Drugovich staying at the team as teammates for a second year running.
Both drivers have actively tested the machine, sampling the Gen4 car at Bedford Autodrome in October, following prior testing appearances at Monteblanco and Guadix, in the lead-up to official pre-season testing at Jarama.
