News Summary
- Andretti has unveiled a predominantly chrome Formula E livery for the 2026/27 season, replacing its previous colour scheme.
- Felipe Drugovich and Jake Dennis remain teammates as the American outfit begins its technical partnership with Nissan.
- The team enters the Gen4 era under new principal Campbell Hobson after finishing fourth in the 2026 constructors’ championship.
Andretti has revealed a radical new look for the 2026/27 Formula E season, replacing its familiar colours with a predominantly chrome design for Felipe Drugovich and Jake Dennis. The American team presented its new identity on Tuesday, November 10, ahead of the championship’s transition to the Gen4 generation of electric racing cars.
The silver-and-black livery features bold typography, repeated Andretti shields and a reflective finish intended to emphasise the team’s historic identity. It represents a significant departure from the yellow-and-black appearance used during much of the previous season.
The unveiling also marks the beginning of a new technical chapter. Andretti will switch from Porsche to Nissan powertrains, while maintaining its established driver pairing.
Andretti embraces chrome for Formula E’s Gen4 era
Andretti’s new design combines a monochrome foundation with prominent team branding, giving the car a distinctive appearance compared with its previous liveries.
The change is particularly striking because the team had already experimented with different visual identities during 2026, including a special chrome-and-blue design created with Japanese automotive specialist Liberty Walk for the Tokyo E-Prix.
Unlike that one-off collaboration, the newly unveiled silver-and-black appearance represents Andretti’s identity for the coming championship.
The team is preparing to compete with the Gen4 platform, which introduces substantial technical changes to Formula E.
The new generation offers up to 600 kW of power in qualifying and Attack Mode, permanent all-wheel drive and greater energy regeneration capabilities.
The changes are intended to make the electric championship considerably faster while creating new engineering challenges for manufacturers and teams.
Andretti will begin the season with a new powertrain supplier after reaching a multi-year agreement with Nissan, ending its previous association with Porsche.
Drugovich and Dennis continue together after strong 2026 season
Andretti has retained both drivers for the new championship.
Brazilian Felipe Drugovich enters his second full Formula E season after joining the team for 2025/26, while British driver Jake Dennis continues his long association with the American operation.
The pairing enjoyed a competitive 2026 campaign, combining for two victories, seven podium finishes and three pole positions.
Dennis remained in championship contention until the final weekend in London, ultimately finishing runner-up to Pascal Wehrlein.
Andretti finished fourth in the teams’ standings, establishing a strong foundation before the introduction of the new regulations.
Drugovich also made progress during his rookie season. After a difficult opening period, the former Formula 2 champion improved his results and secured his first Formula E podium in Monaco.
His adaptation to electric racing machinery will be particularly important as the team introduces the more powerful Gen4 car.
The Brazilian previously spent several seasons as an Aston Martin Formula 1 reserve driver before securing a full-time racing opportunity with Andretti.
New team principal leads Andretti’s transition
Andretti will also begin the 2026/27 championship with a new team principal.
Campbell Hobson has been promoted from sporting director to replace Roger Griffiths, who moves into a senior advisory position supporting Andretti Formula E and the wider TWG Motorsports organisation.
The management change coincides with the arrival of Nissan powertrains and the introduction of the Gen4 regulations.
Together, those developments make the coming season a substantial reset for the team, despite the continuity of its driver line-up.
Andretti will use the pre-season testing programme to evaluate its new technical package and prepare Drugovich and Dennis for the opening races.
The championship’s official collective tests are scheduled for November 16–20 at Jarama, Spain, before the 2026/27 season begins with a double-header in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, on December 18–19.
GRANDE PRÊMIO is following Andretti’s preparations and the introduction of Formula E’s Gen4 era.
