The Nissan e.dams FIA Formula E squad has unveiled a striking new෴ livery des⛎ign ahead of the 2019/20 season.

Nissan revealed its ‘kimino-inspired’ Gen2 season six challenger at its Yokohama headquarters in Japan. The unveiling came jus🐬tꦗ days after the conclusion of pre-season testing, with Nissan running an all-black livery throughout the three-days of running at Valencia.

The Japan𒀰ese manufacturer says the new design for its Nissan IM02 car was selected from nearly 40 concept submissions and celebrates the country’s heritage.

Explaining the colou൲r scheme, Nissan’s senior vice president for global design,♓ Alfonso Albaisa, said: “As we approach the beginning of our second season of Formula E competition, our design team proposed a new look, one that celebrates our Japanese heritage and vibrant technology DNA.

“We used our iconic Nissan racing red, black and white colours layered diagonally in a kimono pattern, which creates a dynamiꦜc and powerful impression.”

Having taken over e.dams operation, Nissan ended its inaugural campaign as a manufact𒈔urer entry fourth in the teams’ championship, with Sebastien Buemi picking up a breakth🧔rough victory in New York on his way to sealing runner-up spot in the drivers’ standings.

The Swiss driver and season two champion will once again be part🌼nered by Oliver Rowland, who impressed in his rookie FE campaign, claiming two pole positions and two podium finishes.

💞“The second season is sometimes harder than the first,” said Nissan’s global motorsports direct♍or Michael Carcamo.

“With a major change to a single-motor solution, weꦉ had plenty to do in the off-season. We'll use everything we learned from season five to improve our package, with an even greater emphasis on battery and energy management."
