According to Maserati, the Gen3, one of the lightest, fastest and most powerful racing cars in Formula E, will compete in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship from the 2022/2023 season. With the entry of the new electric racing car, Maserati will make a comeback in the formula circus after more than 60 years. The history of the Italian manufacturer, which is closely related to racing, will be expanded to include a further milestone in the next racing season.
The story of the Maserati brothers began in 1926 with their appearance in the “Targa Florio” endurance race in the Sicilian mountains. At that time, Alfieri Maserati won the race in its class. This was followed by further sporting successes. The victory in the Formula 1 World Championship in 1957 with Juan Manuel Fangio at the wheel is still unforgettable.
We race. It's in our DNA.
