The first fully electric single-seater of very high sporting level, the EF01 was designed
with a view to equaling the performances of its prestigious cousin the Formula 3 with
its combustion engine.
For its first runs on the Magny-Cours Formula 1 track two weeks ago with Jules
Bianchi, then on the Bugatti track in Le Mans last week in the hands of Alexandre
Pr€mat, the EF01 demonstrated to all those involved that it was a racing car with the
potential to meet this ambitious challenge.
With 0 to 100 kph in 3 seconds and a top speed greater than 250 kph, the EF01 is the
fastest racing electric single-seater in the world today. With these first conclusive test runs, the EF01 has reached a decisive stage in technical innovation and is opening up new avenues in motor racing.

An ambitious and innovative project
Formulec and SEGULA Technologies wish to apply the most advanced technologies in terms of electric propulsion to the world of high-level motor racing, in particular that of a new generation racing car.
Formulec and the EF01 are the precursors of motor racing of the future. Together, they confirm the technological showcase that is major races where research, performance and innovation are intimately linked to reach a level of excellence. Many technological innovations were used in designing this racing car, with above all, a highly compact and integrated architecture, and optimized battery distribution around the car.
With the advent of the EF01 and its avant-garde technology, new horizons of investigation will open up for all those involved in this ambitious project. They will accelerate research, improve the effectiveness of solutions on offer for electric propulsion and, as required, adapt them to the cars of tomorrow. Ultimately, the sporting and showcase vocation of motor racing will be strengthened by this technological dimension. More than ever, Formulec and EF01 in their field, are contributing to making top motor sport a laboratory for new technologies resolutely aiming for the future.
