Formula E has today announced that Maserati has committed to an additional four years in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as a manufacturer, securing its participation in the highly anticipated GEN4 era. This landmark decision ensures Stellantis-powered cars will remain on the Formula E grid until Season 16 (2029/30).

With a rich legacy spanning over a decade, Stellantis Motorsport has been at the forefront of developing cutting-edge, high-efficiency powertrains for Formula E teams DS PENSKE and Maserati MSG Racing throughout GEN3 and into the GEN3 Evo era. Maserati’s continued involvement into GEN4 reinforces their dedication to leveraging Formula E as a platform for advancing road-relevant electric technologies, ensuring that the championship remains a proving ground for sustainable innovation and performance.

Further details regarding the commitments of Stellantis brands to the GEN4 era will be announced in due course, as Formula E continues to attract world-class manufacturers committed to shaping the future of electric mobility.

Maserati I Formula E

Since joining Formula E as Maserati MSG Racing in Season 9, the Modena-based team have already established themselves as a formidable force in the championship. Their impressive track record in the last two years includes 6 podiums, two pole positions and two race wins.

Formula E is a natural choice for the manufacturer, as the epitome of its commitment to deliver cutting-edge EV solutions to customers worldwide. It is a competitive platform for testing and developing new technologies.

What is GEN4?

GEN4 represents the next generation of Formula E technology and debuts in Season 13 (2026/27) with a brand-new car hitting the track. It promises groundbreaking innovations, including regeneration capacity of up to 700kW, increased power output of up to 600kW, and cutting-edge safety enhancements. These advancements will provide a dynamic new challenge for manufacturers while offering insights that accelerate the development of road-going electric vehicles.

As Formula E enters the GEN4 era, fans can prepare to witness the fastest, most energy-efficient, and technologically advanced cars in the championship’s history. With Maserati becoming the fifth manufacturer among other world-leading brands, this exciting next chapter will continue to establish Formula E as a pioneer in electric motorsport and a catalyst for innovation in the automotive industry.

Jeff Dodds, Chief Executive Officer, Formula E

“We are thrilled to confirm Maserati’s continued commitment to the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship by registering for the GEN4 era, alongside Stellantis Motorsport. They have both been a valuable part of our championship, and have demonstrated remarkable performances on track, while driving forward electric vehicle technology that benefits everyday road users. Their ongoing involvement alongside other global OEMs such as Nissan, Jaguar, Porsche and Lola, is a testament to Formula E’s status as a competitive and relevant platform for the future of electric mobility. We can’t wait to see the House of Trident continue its journey with Formula E and build into a new era of enhanced performance, innovation and on track action.”

Santo Ficili, Chief Executive Officer, Maserati

“We are extremely proud to continue our commitment to as prestigious and innovative a 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. We will continue to draw major developments from the races in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, to transfer them into our 100% electric range that now consists of the Grecale Folgore SUV, the iconic GranTurismo Folgore and the GranCabrio Folgore convertible”.

Jean-Marc Finot, Senior VP, STELLANTIS Motorsport

“We are delighted to announce Stellantis Motorsport’s commitment to Maserati in the upcoming Gen4 of Formula E. For over 10 years, we have been developing high-efficiency powertrains for DS and Maserati, and will continue to work on these road-relevant technologies in as competitive and promising a championship as Formula E.

“We welcome Maserati’s commitment to the next era of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. This is a brand with a long and proud history in motorsport, and one that has achieved a great deal of success since joining the grid in Season 9. To extend its involvement until at least 2030 – alongside Nissan, Jaguar, Porsche and Lola, with more manufacturers still to be confirmed – is a clear sign of the value that Maserati derives from its participation in the championship and the relevance of Formula E’s technical roadmap. As we prepare for the competitive debut of GEN3 Evo while continuing to work tirelessly in the background on the development of GEN4, we can look forward to the future of the series with a great deal of confidence.”
