How it was built.

EV4 was designed and built in only nine months. Its two-layer carbon-fibre body and six-layer monocoque were made at the BelcoAvia factory in Bistrița, the team's most important sponsor.

It is about 50 kg lighter than EV3. The battery is built from Amprius cells. At Zolder in 2024, EV4 was driven by five team members: Raymond Nemeth, Alecsia Coman, Mihai Alexandru Stancu, Ștefan Iordan and Sándor Nagy.
