BMW Motorsport pulled the covers off its 2018/19 Formula E contender yesterday, revealing the striking iFE.18 that will race in the all-electric series' fifth season that will kick off in Saudi Arabia on December 15.

The German manufacturer's efforts in Formula E will once again be managed by US outfit Andretti Autosport, while the two cars will be entrusted to Antonio Felix da Costa and Alexander Sims.

"I believe we have the right partners, drivers and personnel in place to compete at the very top level of Formula E," said Andretti Autosport boss Michael Andretti.

"Everyone on both sides have been dedicated to the development of the new BMW iFE.18 and I look forward to seeing it in action. We are entering not only a new era of Formula E, but of motorsport as a whole."
