Maserati ' s first ever motor Diesel Co-Developed with Ferrari built in Maranello
as most of you already know, has recently unveiled it 2014 Maserati Ghibli will be available with a diesel engine the first such unit has ever mounted on a car bearing the insignia of trident.
so that the car manufacturer, said that the engine will be a 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel, he didn't go into details, leaving room for speculation on the source of the plant. Fiat and Chrysler already have a 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine provided by VM Motori that equips the new Jeep Grand Cherokee and Lancia Thema and perhaps soon to be mounted on the U.S. market Chrysler 300 as well.
However, for Maserati the VM Motori engine can not be refined enough, according to a report citing the automaker, Harald Wester CEO. Told him to Australia drive the V6 petrol and diesel engines V6 "have been co-developing between teams Ferrari and Maserati," adding that the two were produced in Maranello.
A diesel made in Maranello? Is this possible? Well, Wester said that the new burner sharing technology with the petrol engine, as direct injection and turbocharging, Ferrari was a natural choice to lead the development of the first unit of the brand diesel.
"Despite the major differences between diesel and gasoline combustion, many of the technologies are very similar," said the Wester. The new 3.0-litre V6 diesel engine will make its debut in the sport sedan Ghibli, on which she is supposed to offer an average consumption of about 6 liters / 100 km (39.2 US gal).
later, on the same unit will be mounted on the next Levante SUV and could find its place in the Maserati flagship sedan, the Quattroporte, as well.
which is not clear, is that the Ferrari-developed diesel engine was built from scratch in Maranello or using the unit of VM Motori as starting point.
regarding Ferrari a diesel engine is out of the question, as the brand has said in the past, he is not interested in oil burners, sticking to his traditional gasoline V8 or V12 engine.
