Fiat Readys Maserati For Suicide
The Fiat Chrysler Marriage is crating some real automotive mutants, such as garbage Chrysler 200s rebadged as Lancias, but now this!
Maserati Reportedly Will Get Twin-Turbo Pentastar V6
Maserati knows how to play the poor cousin/forgotten stepchild role. It has been making do with second-hand Ferrari engines and chassis architecture for years. Lately, it's kind of working. The 4.2-liter and 4.7-liter V8s in the current model line are light on low-end torque, but they have a lot of personality at high rpm and make sweet sounds.
We wouldn't say anything like that about the 3.6-liter version of Chrysler's Pentastar V6, but sources close to Maserati tell Inside Line that the GranTurismo and Quattroporte are going to lose their V8s in favor of a twin-turbocharged, 3.0-liter version of the Pentastar.
So, uh, forced induction... can it make the Pentastar good enough for a Maserati?
Maybe Fiat will include cannolis made with Spam as a buyer incentive?
