Maserati is set to continue its journey in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, embracing the next-generation GEN4 cars starting from Season 13 in 2026.
After debuting in Season 9 with the Tipo Folgore GEN3 single-seater, Maserati has steadily showcased its engineering prowess.
Season 11 will see the evolution of these machines with the GEN3 EVO cars, boasting a blistering 0-100 km/h acceleration in just 1.82 seconds and regenerative capabilities of up to 600 kW.
Come 2026, the upcoming GEN4 platform promises even greater advancements; four-wheel drive throughout the race, elevated power outputs, and unmatched levels of energy recovery, all designed to create more adrenaline-pumping action while adhering to Formula E’s sustainability ethos.
Santo Ficili, Maserati’s CEO, sees the championship as an extension of the brand’s DNA. “For Maserati, the bond between the track and the road is unbreakable. Formula E allows us to innovate in the most competitive environment, bringing those advancements to our 100% electric range, including the Grecale Folgore SUV and GranTurismo Folgore.”
By 2028, Maserati has aims to transition entirely to electric powertrains, a commitment reinforced by their involvement in Formula E. Whether their road cars will commit to being EVs remains up for grabs, but at least they are putting their best foot forwards for Formula E.
Stellantis Motorsport, the parent company’s motorsport division, has been integral to Maserati’s progress. Jean-Marc Finot, Senior Vice President of Stellantis Motorsport, highlights the synergy: “We’ve been developing high-efficiency powertrains for Maserati and DS for over a decade. Formula E provides the ideal platform to push these technologies further.”
Jeff Dodds, Formula E’s CEO, also commended Maserati’s commitment: “Maserati’s presence exemplifies the championship’s status as a leader in electric innovation. Their journey mirrors Formula E’s mission to revolutionise mobility through sustainable technology.”
