The FIA is pleased to announce that Maserati has today 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).

Maserati will continue in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship for four more years, extending its participation into the GEN4 era through Season 16 (2029/30). Powered by Stellantis since Season 9 (2022/23), Maserati has been a major force in Formula E, achieving 6 podiums, two pole positions, and two race wins in just two seasons.

Maserati, supported by Stellantis Motorsport, will leverage the GEN4 platform to develop road-relevant EV technologies, furthering its mission to advance sustainable innovation and electrification across its global automotive brand. The GEN4 car, developed by the FIA and Formula E, debuts in Season 13 (2026/27). It will feature groundbreaking advancements such as 700kW regeneration capacity and 600kW power output, setting the stage for faster and more energy-efficient racing.

With Maserati becoming the fifth’s GEN4 manufacturer after Nissan, Jaguar, Porsche and Lola, this exciting next chapter will continue to establish the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship as a pioneer in electric motorsport and a catalyst for innovation in the automotive industry.

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. The conditions of engagement of other Stellantis Brands will be specified later”.

Marek Nawarecki, Senior Circuit Sport Director, FIA:

“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.”

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."
