The F160 is a 60°
V6 gasoline engine that displaces . It utilizes a
turbocharger
In an internal combustion engine, a turbocharger (often called a turbo) is a forced induction device that is powered by the flow of exhaust gases. It uses this energy to compress the intake gas, forcing more air into the engine in order to pro ...
for each cylinder bank, twin
intercoolers and
direct injection. The engine is designed by
Maserati and assembled by
Ferrari; specifically, the engine blocks are cast and machined to Ferrari's approved specifications respectively in Chrysler's Kokomo, Indiana and
Trenton Engine Plant, then shipped to Modena, Italy for assembly by Ferrari.
This engine shares bore and combustion chamber design, the same valves control technology (i.e. roller finger followers and four cam phasers), the same twin turbocharging approach and direct injection-ignition system with
Ferrari F154 engine.
The engine auxiliaries are identical (alternator, starter motor and power steering pump) or very similar (variable displacement oil pump). The difference of F160 from F154: F160 engine block is made by high pressure die cast (HPDC) process which is extremely suitable for high volume production. However, it is open deck type and can't endure to high specific power in HP/liter. F160 doesn't have an overboost function. Ferrari was responsible for design and bench testing
of this engine.
