05_Maserati_Formula E_Tipo Folgore Season 11 Livery

The Tipo Folgore has a refreshed design and a new aesthetic that tells the story of 110 years of the Maserati marque’s victories and successes on the track.

The name Maserati Tipo Folgore pays homage to the Trident's full-electric range, symbolising a bridge between the past, present and the future. The livery, in the iconic Maserati blue colour, comes with Rose Gold accents on the rear as a symbol of innovation and electrification.


Key tech specs for Formula E's new GEN3 Evo race car:

The quickest accelerating FIA single-seater race car: Capable of 0-60mph in 1.82 seconds (0-100kph in 1.86s), 30% faster than a current F1 car.
Faster, stronger, more agile: Performance upgrades providing an estimated 2% performance gain from GEN3, equating to a c.2 secs faster qualifying lap on the Monaco circuit, offering world-class racing on any track.
Leaner and meaner: An aggressive new body kit designed to be stronger, more robust and more aerodynamic, delivering closer wheel-to-wheel racing.
All-wheel drive (AWD): A first for a Formula E car, available during qualifying duels, race starts, and ATTACK MODE. This feature maximizes acceleration and control, elevating the thrill of critical race moments and intensifying driver rivalries. AWD enhances both performance and strategy, providing more exciting racing for drivers and fans alike.
Better grip: Optimised all-weather Hankook iON tires providing 5-10% more grip, made from 35% recycled and sustainable materials (+9% vs GEN3 spec)

Maserati have designed the livery to evoke their sporting heritage. An interlocking of names and dates showcases the victories Maserati has collected over the years, thanks to legendary drivers and unforgettable successes on some of the most prestigious race circuits in the world.

Klaus Busse, Head of Design at Maserati, said: “It has been a great honour to work for the third year running on the livery design of our Formula E single-seater.

"This year's aesthetics, while continuing to build on the brand’s journey of electrification symbolised by the Folgore copper colour, are intended to celebrate Maserati's wealth of history in motorsport with a tribute to the milestones of 110 years of history, an anniversary we’ll be celebrating early next month.

"The names of those unforgettable champions, the circuits and the dates of the Grand Prix victories therefore appear around the driver's cockpit and project them seamlessly into the future, thanks to our racing DNA."

Cyril Blais, Team Principal, Maserati MSG Racing, said: It continues to be an enormous honour for us to represent such an iconic automotive brand in Formula E. Racing with the now-unmistakable Maserati Tipo Folgore is a major responsibility. 

"Maserati has a formidable pedigree on and off the racetrack and it was our privilege to return the Trident to the top step of the podium in Seasons 9 and 10.  With this striking livery that bears witness to Maserati’s impressive motorsport history and the team’s success in the championship, we look forward to battling together towards more landmark victories in Season 11."
