Now, the Chinese-backed company is embracing some Italian flair: On Thursday, Faraday showed off the graphic design that will decorate its new Formula E race cars, developed in partnership with Los Angeles-based Dragon Racing. Faraday and Dragon Racing, owned by Jay Penske, forged their Formula E partnership in July. The Formula E circuit is similar to Formula 1 racing, but all cars are powered by electric motors — no combustion engines. Aside from concept cars and race cars, Faraday is developing electric cars for sale to the general public. As for the meaning behind the race car’s graphics, Faraday said it wanted to bridge design with its sustainable mission.
