Mahindra Racing has revealed its latest race car for Formula E, the M12Electro, with a fresh paint job that marks the team’s 12th year in the all-electric racing series. The reveal happened on October 14, 2025, at an event in London, and it’s a sign of the team’s big plans after a strong finish last season. The car keeps the same drivers, Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara, and aims to climb higher in the standings with better speed and smart changes. Season 12 starts on December 6, 2025, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and this car will be their fighter.
Fresh Look and Colors
The M12Electro has a striking new design in deep red, shiny white, and black that looks strong and modern. The red covers most of the body for a bold base, with sharp black lines on the sides and top. White edges highlight the front wing and air parts, making it clean and easy to spot.
Twelve stripes run along the car, one for each year Mahindra has raced in Formula E since it began. It also has bits of the Indian flag to show the team’s roots as the only Indian squad in top motorsport. The colors tie in with Mahindra’s electric cars for everyday roads, linking the race track to real life.
Power and Improvements
This car builds on the one from last season, with tweaks to make it faster and steadier. It uses the Gen3 Evo setup, the last of its kind before a new generation in 2026. The team spent the summer fixing the power unit, air flow, suspension, and back end to handle tight corners and straightaways better. It’s quicker on the track, with better grip from new tires that add 5-10% more speed.
Last season, Mahindra got five second or third places, including a strong run in Monaco and London, and scored more points than in the three years before. Now, they want to win races and hear the Indian anthem on the podium.
Team and Goals
Nyck de Vries and Edoardo Mortara stay as drivers, with Kush Maini ready as backup. The team boss, Frederic Bertrand, said the goal is steady points and a top-three finish in the team standings. Mahindra’s chair, Anand Mahindra, and CEO Anish Shah were at the launch, showing how important this is.
Shah said: “Mahindra Racing shows our group’s spirit—bold, useful, and pushing for change. The team’s growth matches our view that tech and green living work together.” Formula E boss Jeff Dodds praised Mahindra’s long history in the series.
The new car also ties into Mahindra’s push for electric SUVs in India, with plans to show race tech in road cars soon. If you’re a fan of fast, clean racing, this M12Electro looks set to excite. Watch for pre-season tests and the Sao Paulo start—the team is ready to roar!
