Opel reveals final GSE 27FE livery ahead of Formula E debut

Opel has unveiled the definitive livery of its GSE 27FE ahead of the car’s grand reveal at the Paris Motor Show. The design will represent the German manufacturer in its first Formula E season, refining the prototype look used throughout the team’s testing programme.

Heritage recast for the electric era

Opel global brand design manager Pierre-Olivier Garcia said the livery translates the company’s identity into a Formula E setting. “With the final design of the Opel GSE 27FE, we show what Formula E looks like through Opel eyes,” he said. “Airflow becomes linework, energy becomes colour and efficiency becomes precision. Our motorsport heritage provides the DNA, German design provides the structure, and Formula E takes it into the future.”

Garcia also singled out the bright yellow accents, named Opel GSE Yellow, as central to the design. “In Formula E, energy decides the race, and for Opel, energy has a colour: GSE Yellow,” he said. “It is bold without being aggressive and technical without being complicated. Yellow means go.”

Evans backs the finished look

Mitch Evans will lead the Opel GSE Formula E Team alongside Théo Pourchaire, with Sophia Flörsch retained as test and development driver. The team’s announcement adds another detail to Evans’s move to Opel GSE, with the New Zealander endorsing the final design.

“I think the final design looks fantastic. It builds on our concept and testing livery in a more refined way, while still feeling unmistakably Opel,” Evans said. He added that the silver gives the car a “sharp and sophisticated appearance” and, most importantly, “it looks fast.”

The final scheme keeps the concept’s defining colours while adding a more polished central feature and a clear visual link to Opel’s wider design language. Its first appearance as the team’s race livery now sets the visual identity for the manufacturer’s Formula E debut.
