Lola has revealed the livery for its new T004 challenger, the car it will race in the upcoming Formula E campaign built to the Gen4 technical regulations.
The design moves away from the darker blue used previously, adopting a lighter blue as the primary colour across the body. Yellow accents remain on the car's fin, with prominent Lola branding running across the nose and rear wing.
The British marque said the new scheme draws inspiration from its 1969 24 Hours of Daytona-winning T70 Mk3B sports car, tying the electric-era challenger to one of Lola's most celebrated results from its sports car racing history.
The T004 continues to be developed in technical partnership with Yamaha, extending a collaboration that dates back through the Gen3 era and now carries into Gen4.
Lola also goes into the season with an entirely new driver line-up. Robert Shwartzman and Enzo Fittipaldi have been signed to replace Lucas di Grassi and Zane Maloney, giving the Silverstone-based outfit a fresh pairing as it looks to build on its return to top-level international racing following Till Bechtolsheimer's takeover of the historic marque in 2022.

Mahindra stick to its roots
Mahindra Racing has also lifted the covers off its own Gen4 car, revealing the M13Electro livery on Sunday ahead of pre-season testing in Madrid.
The design sticks with the team's long-standing identity, built around its signature red colour scheme combined with black sections. It marks a continuation rather than a reinvention, following on from the metallic red, silver satin and carbon black styling used on the team's previous M11Electro challenger for the Gen3 Evo era.
Branding from Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Born EV features prominently on the car, alongside the team's usual technical and commercial partners, though the full roster of sponsors is expected to become clearer once the M13Electro appears on track.
Both the Lola and Mahindra reveals come ahead of pre-season testing at the Circuito del Jarama in Madrid, which gets underway on Monday.
