Fusion Formula E Team unveil stunning fluorescent livery for Gen4 era
The newly inducted Fusion Formula E Team have finally showcased their identity in the lead-up to pre-season testing for the championship's Gen4 era. The Porsche-powered outfit, who have remained largely off the grid up until now, have finally revealed their livery for the upcoming season of racing.
The British-based team had teased the colours in a sneak peek of its livery earlier in the day, but has finally revealed the colours they will be sporting for the upcoming year of racing. And safe to say, it contains familiar hues, tying it to another familiar name.
Fusion's Formula E livery will feature a base of dark purple, as teased by the team earlier. However, the most defining trait of this livery is the familiar lime green, a characteristic feature of the LN4 Fusion team run by Formula One driver Lando Norris, which will take part in several junior racing series next season.
While there is no direct link between the F1 driver and the Fusion outfit, one of LN4 Fusion's investors, Dan Richards, is the founder of the Fusion Formula E Team.
Familiar lime green features on the front nose and the nose cones, and in special pixelated gradients running across the bargeboard section of the car.
The gradient also features towards the rear of the car, with a dark purple base visible across the cockpit and the body shell of the car. The wheel rim inserts also have the lime green on them, giving away visible insight into why the team mentioned they wouldn't be blending in with the rest of the grid, for their livery.
Team principal Phil Charles moves over from DS Penske, who left the championship, and has been working to build this team from the ground up, in order to chart its course in Formula E.
"There's something special about building a racing team from the ground up. You have the opportunity to bring together people you believe in, establish the right culture and create an environment where everyone can perform at their best," Charles described, speaking on the team's reveal only a day ahead of pre-season testing.
“We know exactly how competitive Formula E is, and we're under no illusions about the challenge ahead. But we've assembled a fantastic group of people, we have a strong technical partner in Porsche, and everyone is working incredibly hard to get us ready.
"We're not here simply to make up the numbers. We want to build a team that can compete at the front, and that's what we're working towards,” Charles concluded.
Another key figure in the team's functioning for the Gen4 era is CEO and Founder Dan Richards. “Building the right team has been our priority from day one," Richards described, speaking on the launch of Fusion Formula E Team.
"In Phil Charles and Chris Bluett, we have two highly experienced people who understand what it takes to compete at this level, and we've been fortunate to attract some exceptional talent to join them.
“I'm incredibly proud of the team we're putting together. There's a huge amount of work ahead, but I couldn't have more confidence in the people leading that effort,” he concluded, looking ahead to the might of the upcoming Gen4 era.
The Fusion Formula E Team have been gathering momentum behind the scenes, but is the only outfit on the grid to reveal its driver line-ups. The team has stated its driver line-ups will be revealed in due course.
