For the 2023–2024 Formula E World Championship, Andretti Global introduced an entirely new livery decked with the colours white, red, and blue. The renowned American outfit unveiled the look to the public on Friday afternoon. This is the first updated livery from the Formula E team since changing its name to Andretti Global. White makes up the majority of the livery, while red dominates the side of the car and streaks to the back. In addition, there is a blue stripe that starts near the wing mirrors and runs the length of the vehicle. In Valencia, where preseason testing is scheduled to take place, the fresh livery for the Porsche customer team will mark its debut next week. For those who are unaware, the Andretti Formula E team has retained their season 9 world champion Jake Dennis. Meanwhile, Norman Nato has replaced David Backmann for season 10.
Team Owner Michael Andretti Comments
The introduction of Andretti Global marks a crucial turning point in the team's illustrious history by unifying all facets of the business under a single name. The American team presently competes on eight different motorsports platforms, racing on six different continents, and boasts more than 260 victories. The team is eager to increase its global presence by joining more prestigious motorsports leagues.
In anticipation of what he hopes will be another successful season, Andretti Global CEO and Chairman Michael Andretti finds it "fitting" that the current World Champion will pilot the fresh livery in recognition of the firm's new identity.
Sharing his views on the team's new livery and racing suits, Michael Andretti, CEO and Chairman of Andretti Global, said, “Andretti Global is built on a foundation of racing excellence, and it’s been rewarding to see our history and success come together in such a seamless, visual way,” said Michael Andretti, CEO and Chairman of Andretti Global. “The special Formula E livery we’re running in Valencia is a great representation of what we set out to achieve with this rebrand, and it’s fitting that the first time the Andretti Global brand will be on full display will be riding along with a reigning World Champion.”

New Racing Number for Dennis
Dennis' Porsche 99X Electric will also display a new number apart from a unique livery style. He will drive the famous No. 1 for the entirety of Season 10 as a fitting tribute to his victory in Season 9, which is a privilege only given to the current Driver Champion. Dennis said of his decision to drive in the No. 1 for the upcoming season, “I’ve always wanted to earn the right to use the No. 1 at some point in my career, and to do so for the first time in our new Andretti Global livery makes the moment even more special.”
Norman Nato, the newest addition, will be racing alongside the champion in contention. The Frenchman will honour his late colleague and fellow countryman Jules Bianchi by wearing the No. 17 on his Porsche 99x Electric. He remarked, “I’m proud to race under the No. 17 for the upcoming season – the number means a lot to me. I started in karting and won championships with the 17, but Jules also raced with the number, which makes it even more special. It’s a tribute to a great friend and an outstanding driver.”
Since its first Formula E race in 2014, Andretti Formula E squad has amassed ten victories, twelve pole positions, and a driver championship. This season marks the highly anticipated landmark tenth season for the team. In Valencia, the unique Andretti Global livery will be unveiled, kicking off a thrilling new era in the team's racing legacy.
