Art Drive Speed Tribute Top gear Racing Car Power Race

There’s nothing quite like a racing car that’s allowed to break the rules which govern it. Enter the GenBeta – based off the current Gen 3 racer, it’s a potential test bed for where Formula E goes next. Four-wheel drive, for starters. The front motor-generator, which is usually only on power harvesting duty, is allowed to contribute some grunt here, so thanks to an uprated battery this £1.3m one-off generates over 530bhp and gets off the line faster on softer, stickier tyres. Handy, when you want to shatter the indoor land speed world record. WATCH MORE TOP GEAR:
