The first “mule” for the development of the new Maserati engine was driven out of the Viale Ciro Menotti gates, in Modena.
The “mules” - as they are known in the automotive industry - of a new Maserati model have a special livery that echoes the “Save the Date” teaser sent out ahead of the event scheduled for May 2020.
The experimental vehicles are equipped with a new engine installed in the rear centre position.
The powertrain – defined by an innovative combustion system – is entirely developed and built in Maserati and will be the forefather of a new family of engines integrated exclusively on the vehicles of the Brand.
The data acquired through the kilometres covered by the mules will be integrated with the experience gathered in the Maserati Innovation Lab driving simulators, the most advanced in the world. This working methodology will then be used to fine-tune and develop the prototypes with final bodywork and mechanics.
