Mahindra may have been the last manufacturer to begin the test programme for its Gen4 challenger, but there is optimism within the camp that it will be able to catch up to its rivals, even if it ends up starting the 2026-27 Formula E season on the back foot.
The Indian manufacturer pulled off one of the most remarkable transformations in Formula E history, going from being the slowest manufacturer at the start of the Gen3 era to becoming a multiple race-winning outfit by its conclusion. In fact, Mahindra ended up third in the teams’ championship in 2025-26, only behind FE heavyweights Jaguar and Porsche.
