Mahindra Racing and design company Pininfarina have released three concept designs which they hope will shape the future of Formula E.
The release of these images follows the launch of the FIA Formula E tender to design and manufacture a chassis that will be used from season five onwards by all competing teams to save costs, whilst the powertrain and software will be open to development by the individual manufacturers.
Mahindra hopes its concept visions will "stimulate and curate a conversation on the future form and next generation technology of Formula E" and has asked fans to share their thoughts on the three designs on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram using the hashtag #FormulaEConcepts.
Chief Creative Officer of Pininfarina Fabio Filippini commented: "Formula E is one of the most exciting signs of the changes underway in the automotive world as well as in motor racing. Its success is the proof.
"Exercising our creativity on these sketches allowed us to imagine the evolution of this formula. A possible contribution of Pininfarina to the future development of a Formula E car would be a highly motivating challenge, fully consistent with our mission of creators and innovators in the automotive field."
