No, it's not a joke or a mistake. Sources close to Maserati told Inside Line that the Italian automaker is about to replace its 4.2L and 4.7L V8 engines with a 3.0-litre, twin-turbocharged version of Chrysler's Pentastar V6.
When the report came out, we immediately checked our calendar to see if it all could be an April Fool's prank.
Why on Earth would a luxury car company like Maserati, even after losing some of its lustre in recent years, make such a bold decision? The Pentastar deserves considerable praise, but it's still nowhere near the performance and refinement levels of Ferrari engines.
