The livery of the new Formula E Gen3 car has been unveiled by NIO 333 Racing

NIO 333 Racing revealed its Gen3 test car livery and name, the NIO 333 ER9, following the official unveiled of the third generation race car.

As one of the confirmed manufacturers continuing into the next era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, 333 Racing will be running its NIO 333 ER9 during official and private testing this year, and it will be key to the Chinese team reaching new heights in the next chapter of all-electric racing.

The moniker of the team’s Gen3 car follows a familiar pattern in automotive designation, with each figure having a specific meaning:

• E stands for ‘Electric’
• R stands for ‘Racing’
• 9 – the ER9 will make its debut in ‘Season 9’ of the FIA Formula E World Championship and the number 9 itself also represents ‘high performance’ in technical terms.

The design of the NIO 333 ER9 test car livery is based on the team’s iconic blue colour scheme whilst incorporating accents of sci-fi aesthetics to compliment the FE car’s disruptive design (‘inspired by the aerodynamic form of a fighter jet’ (sic.)). Adorning the fastest, lightest, most powerful, and efficient electric race car ever built, the team’s EP9 moniker shall also be emblazoned boldly across the chassis of the futuristic looking E-Challenger.
