Italian car manufacturer Maserati has announced that it will join electric single seater series Formula E from season nine, which marks the debut of the championship’s Gen3 cars.

Maserati’s arrival in Formula E marks the manufacturer’s return to single seater competition after 60 years. It will be the first Italian manufacturer to join the series.

Maserati has a rich heritage in motorsport, participating in Formula One in the 1950s as well as GT Racing.

In addition, the manufacturer’s entry into Formula E has been inspired by a drive to progress its electric vehicle (EV) operations.

The team’s entry comes as a welcome relief for Formula E following the departures of Audi and BMW, in addition to Mercedes confirming it will leave the series at the end of the 2021/22 season.

“In the race for more performance, luxury, and innovation, Folgore – our electrified line and it is the purest expression of Maserati.
