Formulec and its EF01 single-seater will be present at the 2011 Bibendum Challenge in Berlin, performing two track demonstrations on each day.

The EF01, the world’s first fully-electrically powered single-seater, has been created as a high-performance racing car, comparable with Formula 3.

Thanks to the power of its traction system (220kw, which equates to 300bhp), the EF01 reaches 0-100km/h in just three seconds and is targeting a maximum speed of 250km/h.

The EF01 therefore shows that speed and efficiency can coincide with a respect of the environment and sustainable development. Recently, tests have been made for the incorporation of an energy recovery system which will be fitted to all the cars entering the 2012 championship.Among the numerous renowned technical partners to have contributed to the concept, creation, design and development of the EF01, FCI has brought its expertise regarding the latest generation connectors in order to guarantee the single-seater’s optimum level of performance and reliability.

Formulec and FCI have just reinforced their links through a partnership to be announced during the 2011 Bibendum Challenge.Formulec and the EF01 are the pioneers of tomorrow’s motorsport. Together, they have reasserted the role of major car racing events as a promotional and technological showroom where performance, innovation and spectacle are closely linked to the pursuit of excellence.
