Formula E has established itself as one of the world's major categories and since 2020 has been granted official championship status by the FIA. She sees electric-powered cars competing, making her an ideal subject for Tamiya! This model reproduces the only car currently approved to participate in the Formula E championship. Designed and built by Spark Racing Technology (SRT) and the Italian firm Dallara, the Spark SRT 05E, also known as "Spark Gen2" or "Gen2" (for "Generation 2"), it has more powerful batteries than the previous generation and a new driver protection element now imposed on all categories of single-seater Halo. The base of the RC Tamiya model is the all-new TC-01 chassis with an extremely low profile particularly suited to a Formula E body.
