The streets of Modena, Italy provided the perfect backdrop for Maserati to unveil the livery for its first all-electric race car that will compete in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Finished in Maserati’s traditional blue, the Tipo Folgore Gen3 is set to race in Season 9 of the EV open-wheel racing series with Edoardo Mortara and Maximilian Günther driving for the factory team.

Maserati is the first Italian automotive brand to enter Formula E, and the Tipo Folgore Gen3 is a homage to Maserati’s first race car: the Tipo 26 which debuted at the 1926 Targa Florio and finished first in its class. Formula E’s ninth season is the debut of the series’ most powerful and efficient car to date. The front and rear powertrains deliver 600 kW (804 hp) of regenerative power and 95% power efficiency that allows for more than 40% of the energy used in a race to come from regenerative braking.
