Maserati Celebrates 100 Years Of Racing With Iconic Parade In Monte Carlo
Maserati kicked off its centennial celebrations at the Monaco E-Prix, marking a significant milestone in its racing history. The event took place on May 3 and 4, 2025, in Monaco. This occasion also marked the start of Maserati's participation in rounds 6 and 7 of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship's eleventh season.
The Maserati Tipo 26, which debuted in 1926 with Alfieri Maserati driving, was the first car to feature the Trident logo. It won its class at the Targa Florio, setting a precedent for Maserati's future successes. This victory began a legacy of transferring track technology to road vehicles.
During the Monaco E-Prix weekend, Maserati showcased a parade featuring iconic models from its racing history. The parade included historic cars like the Maserati 250 F, which triumphed in Monte Carlo with Stirling Moss in 1956 and Juan Manuel Fangio in 1957. Also featured was the MC12, which achieved numerous victories between 2004 and 2010.
The parade also highlighted modern models like the Maserati MC20 road coupé. This car symbolises Maserati's return to racing with its Twin Turbo 3.0 L Nettuno V6 engine. Its successor, the GT2, has been successful in GT2 European Series races and is available as a road-legal version called GT2 Stradale.
Maserati's performance masterpieces were part of this celebration. The MCXtrema track car boasts a powerful twin-turbo V6 engine derived from Nettuno technology. Additionally, the GranCabrio Folgore represents Italian grand touring spirit with an electric powertrain based on advanced Formula E solutions.
Maria Conti, Head of Maserati Corse, expressed excitement about reviving their competitive spirit on such an iconic circuit. She stated: "The track is our home... Seeing our cars parade in Monaco is therefore a unique emotion! These corners have made motorsport history."
