Maserati has entered into the 2023 FIA Formula E World Championship, the first Italian team to compete in the championship.
Maserati CEO, Davide Grasso, said: “We are very proud to be back where we belong as protagonists in the world of racing.”

It provides the perfect environment for the most dynamic and innovative high-performance car brands to showcase their technological capabilities alongside their sporting ambitions.” He continued.
