IN A PIECE OF BLATANT publicity-seeking, Maserati drove one of its development models using a new engine out of the Viale Ciro Menotti gates, in Modena today.
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 central position. The powertrain – defined by an innovative combustion system – is entirely developed and built by 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, some of 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.
