Mahindra are the early team to beat heading into the 2026 Formula E season, following a stunning showing across pre-season testing.
While reigning world champion Oliver Rowland topped the final session of the test on Thursday afternoon, he failed to beat Edoardo Mortara's 1m 21.493 from Tuesday morning.
However, Rowland's lap was the second best, with Nissan team-mate Norman Nato's 1m 21.502 being the fourth quickest.
The third faster driver of the test was DS Penske's Taylor Barnard, courtesy of a 1m 21.500 on Thursday afternoon.
While the Formula E grid will next be on track in São Paulo for the season-opener, more action does take place in Valencia on Friday as the second all-female test will take place.

Morning session
Having been towards the bottom in most sessions, Nissan made an excellent start to the final morning session of testing.
Nato went quickest on a 1m 21.502, with Mahindra having looked strong yet again. De Vries and Mortara were second and third in what was a smooth morning session, on the hottest day of testing.
Like the Mahindra duo, Dennis also continued his strong showing, going fourth fastest ahead of Ticktum.
It was a very positive session for both rookie drivers, as Felipe Drugovich and Pepe Marti ended the morning in seventh and 10th, respectively.
Afternoon session
In the afternoon, the temperature continued to rise. All eyes were on the final minutes, given push laps were expected to conclude the test.
However, it was a far from ideal start for Citroën's Jean-Eric Vergne, who lost almost the entire first hour due to a powertrain change.
He eventually got out onto the circuit, ending the session in 16th. At the top was Rowland, although by only 0.002s.
The Nissan leader set a 1m 21.498, ahead of Barnard. Mahindra, once again, looked threatening with Mortara and de Vries in third and fifth.
