Talk:Ferrari F160 engine

FGA cheerleader, I don't want to move this page back and force. If you would like to insist it is Ferrari engine, here're couple of questions. 1. Why Ferrari mechanics consider it as Chrysler one and Ghibli and V6 Quattroporte are based on Chrysler 300 platform? 2. If this V6 engine is really so great as it is described in your link, why Ferrari isn't using it in its own cars? --Akluch (talk) 05:48, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Akluch, nobody is denying that current Maserati platform is based around Chrysler LX platform with a lot of changes both on front suspension with even higher upper arm and completely new front and rear subframe which in Maserati case are made in aluminium. I don't see a problem with this because Fiat Group with purchase of Chrysler got all Chrysler's technology. The link/article is describing that Ferrari F160 V6 engine has a lot of commonalities with Ferrari F154 V8 engine. But yet again nobody is denying that F160 engine block is redesigned Chrysler Pentastar block. But you are messing engine block with whole engine. F160 engine block is made by high pressure die cast (HPDC) process which is extremely suitable for high volume production. But HPDC made engine blocks are all open deck type. They can't endure to high specific power in HP/liter. So for Giulia Quadrifoglio they made new V6 which is directly based on F154 and has closed deck design. Ferrari is not using V6 engine, not a F160 V6, not a F154 derivate V6. But even when Ferrari used V6 engines in the past some blocks weren't produced by Ferrari. Back then 2.0 V6 block was made by Fiat and it was cast iron bloc unlike Ferrari designs. --FGA cheerleader (talk) 20:01, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

FGA cheerleader, I think you need to add that information above regarding F160: I believe the Pentastar block is already mentioned there, so you probably need to mention that it has open deck block comparing to F154 closed deck block (to have article complete as much as possible) --Akluch (talk) 01:22, 9 December 2016 (UTC)
