“When we set out on our journey at the start of the year, our goal was to break the mould in Formula E. At every stage this season, we’ve shown our intent first-hand. CUPRA KIRO’s partnership with Marvel Studios represents yet another step forward in that mission, and commercially, we’re redefining what it means to race. Just like the Thunderbolts*, we’re not afraid to challenge convention and our innovative partnership together is built on a daring and disruptive energy and mindset. Partnering with a brand as iconic as Marvel is the perfect way for us to celebrate our very first home race, and we’re very excited to lift the covers off our special edition livery in Miami.”
Marvel Studios Thurderbolts* will be released globally on Friday, May, 2.
