A new generation of racing car, a new powertrain, and a historic alliance with a manufacturer we’ve admired for years; we couldn’t be more excited for Season 9! We believe our outlook for the Season remains incredibly strong with Stoffel and Vergne, by securing the strongest and most experienced line-ups in the series. I look forward to exceptional results this season, and the beginning of a journey with DS and Stellantis in Mexico City, January 2023.’
Maserati MSG Racing is on the verge of a historic new era, and on the eve of Formula E pre-season testing, has unveiled its revolutionary Gen3 challenger, the Maserati Tipo Folgore, and becomes the unique luxury automotive brand for the competition.
Revealed on the streets of Maserati’s home in Modena, Italy, Maserati Tipo Folgore is the very first electric racing car in the marque’s distinguished heritage, and by transferring on-track innovation to road-relevant technologies, it will play a significant role in the brand’s electrification journey.
The Maserati Tipo Folgore pays homage to Maserati’s first racing car, the Tipo 26, which won the 1926 Targa Florio when Alfieri Maserati delivered an audacious performance on the winding mountains of Sicily.
Now, 96 years on, Maserati Tipo Folgore represents a new era for Maserati MSG Racing and embodies the Italian brand’s commitment to its all-electric high-performance Folgore automotive range.
James Rossiter, Team Principal, Maserati MSG Racing
“After months of anticipation, it’s a great feeling to lift the covers off the Maserati Tipo Folgore. With the prestige of Maserati and the experience, success and diligence of MSG [Monaco Sports Group], we believe we have a winning combination. Now our focus returns to pre-season preparations and after a promising private testing phase, we need to maximise every minute of track time in Valencia. At this stage, it’s very difficult to make any predictions, but with a competitive package and Edo [Mortara] and Max [Günther] behind the wheel, we’re confident that we can have a successful season.”
Edoardo Mortara, Driver, Maserati MSG Racing
“Looking at our car, it’s very different compared to the other liveries on the grid for 2023 so we’ll definitely stand out on track in Mexico. Over the past few months, we’ve been going through our development cycle and so far, things look good but it’s too early to really tell. Pre-season testing will be a key opportunity for us to validate our work as we continue to refine and optimise our performance ahead of the start of the season.” |
