Envision is heading into Formula E's Gen4 era with an almost completely new look. Following the arrival of Paysafe as title partner, the team will compete under a new name, with a blue, white and green livery and an entirely new driver line-up of Maximilian Günther and Zak O'Sullivan.
The new identity was unveiled in Jacksonville, Florida, where Paysafe has its US headquarters. For the official car images, the team also took its Gen4 machine to the space launch complex at Cape Canaveral. Envision's trademark green remains part of the design, but is now joined by blue and white from its new title partner.

The team is also starting a new chapter with its drivers. Maximilian Günther joins Envision for Season 13 on a multi-year deal, while Zak O'Sullivan will contest his first full Formula E campaign after previously working with the team as a development driver.
Envision feels "a real sense of momentum" ahead of Gen4 debut
"Season 13 marks the beginning of a really exciting new chapter for the team," says Franz Jung, Vice President of Envision Energy and CEO and Chairman of the Board of the Formula E team. "We have a new name, new drivers, a new generation of Formula E car and a fantastic new partnership with Paysafe, so there is a real sense of momentum around the team."
The new livery is also intended to reflect those changes. "The green remains such an important part of our identity, but we've introduced the Paysafe colours to give the car a fresh look for this new era," Jung adds.
Why Envision photographed its Gen4 car at Cape Canaveral
The backdrop of the Cape Canaveral space launch complex was chosen deliberately. Paysafe CEO Bruce Lowthers points to the focus on innovation behind the partnership: "Innovation is at the heart of what Paysafe stands for, and that is exactly what this livery and this partnership represent."
Envision will begin its official preparations for the new season with pre-season testing at Circuito del Jarama near Madrid in mid-November. The Gen4 car will then make its race debut in the new Envision colours at the season-opening Jeddah E-Prix on December 18 and 19.
