DS AUTOMOBILES: FROM FORMULA E TO SAILGP

• At the pinnacle of its learning process in electric technology and with an unprecedented track record of 11 years in Formula E – 4 championship titles, 18 victories, 55 podiums and 26 pole positions – DS Automobiles has established itself as one of the most successful manufacturers in the electric discipline’s history, the result of an exceptional partnership with Formula E, a true catalyst for technological innovation.
• At the end of Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, the Stellantis group’s French brand is evolving its sporting and technological strategy through golf and SailGP, whilst paying tribute to the Formula E championship, which has provided it with significant visibility and a unique source of innovation.
• By focusing on its long-term partnership with SailGP Team France, DS Automobiles is opening a new chapter where emotion combines with innovation, to explore new development avenues for the Brand’s future generations of cars.

With one of the most impressive records in the history of Formula E, DS Automobiles has established itself as a major benchmark in 100% electric racing. Beyond victories and titles, DS Automobiles is keen to highlight the exceptional relationship it has forged with the sport: a true platform for technological, sporting and emotional expression, which has provided it with a unique testing ground and significant global visibility.

The first premium brand to enter the competition from Season 2 in 2015, DS Automobiles has distinguished itself through 142 races to win 4 championship titles, 18 victories, 55 podiums and 26 pole positions on circuits around the world. Eleven years of dedication, working alongside passionate teams, to whom DS Automobiles extends its heartfelt thanks for their collaboration and support throughout this extraordinary journey.

In Europe, America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East, through three consecutive generations of ever-more successful single-seaters developed by DS PERFORMANCE, DS Automobiles has built a special sporting career against some of the world’s leading manufacturers. This success has been backed up by major technological advances in the areas of electrified powertrains, energy management and the overall efficiency of in-car systems.

These years of competition have been a wonderful innovation accelerator for the Brand. The technology developed in the championship has contributed to the research and development of production models, illustrated in particular by the arrival of the latest DS N°4, DS N°7 and DS N°8 designs with up to 750 km of 100% electric range.

At the end of Season 12 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, DS Automobiles is changing its sporting commitment to explore new areas of technological innovation. Within this framework, the Brand is focusing on its title partnership with SailGP Team France announced on January 15, 2026 and thus opening a new chapter in its evolution.

While being as close as possible to the Brand’s customers, competition sailing is a particularly rich laboratory for experimenting with new approaches. The work carried out on aerodynamic efficiency, drag reduction, the search for lightness through advanced work on composite materials and the software field, offer particularly interesting areas of research within automotive development.

As an extension of the high-tech excellence that characterises the Brand, this strategic long-term partnership with SailGP Team France aims to push the limits of innovation further while exploring a new emotional aspect.

DS Automobiles remains fully committed to Formula E until the end of Season 12. This weekend, the Brand will start the Madrid E-Prix with the aim of returning to the podium and finishing this season among the championship’s leading teams.

“After 11 years of pioneering commitment to Formula E, 18 victories, 2 drivers’ and
2 manufacturers’ titles, DS Automobiles has demonstrated its ability to transform competition into a high-tech reality, illustrated by our latest DS N°4, DS N°7 and DS N°8 models. To take French Excellence even further, we are now taking a new step by orienting our partnership strategy towards SailGP, a unique laboratory of innovation where technological performance and emotion meet.”
