Maserati Continues Commitment To ABB FIA Formula E With GEN4 Generation Cars Starting Season 13
Maserati has announced its ongoing participation in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as a manufacturer of the GEN4 cars, beginning with Season 13 (2026/2027). This decision underscores Maserati's dedication to electric racing. The championship serves as a platform for testing and developing new technologies, aligning with Maserati's commitment to sustainable mobility and technology transfer to its Folgore electric range.
Maserati entered the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship in Season 9 (2023) with the Tipo Folgore single-seater. The upcoming Season 11 will see an increase in performance with "GEN3 EVO" cars. These vehicles will achieve up to 350 kW output, four-wheel drive at full power during specific race moments, and recover up to 600 kW. The GEN4 project aims for even higher performance levels, featuring four-wheel drive throughout races and further power enhancements.
The GEN4 cars are expected to deliver more thrilling races while maintaining sustainability. Maserati's rich racing history and competitive spirit are focused on the future of Formula E with these new advancements, ensuring uncompromising performance until 2030. The latest car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 1.82 seconds, which is 36% faster than its predecessor.
Santo Ficili, CEO of Maserati, expressed pride in continuing their commitment to Formula E. He stated, "We are extremely proud to continue our commitment to as prestigious and innovative platform as Formula E. For this brand, the bond between the track and the road is unbreakable and the evolution of the single-seaters shows how many possibilities for development electric mobility holds."
