hurricane engine

twin turbo inline 6

Standard Output (SO): Optimized for fuel economy, including the use of cooled exhaust gas circulation (EGR), while delivering enhanced power and torque (more than 400 hp/450 lb.-ft. of torque)

High Output (HO): Optimized for great performance (more than 500 hp/475 lb.-ft.) while maintaining significant fuel economy during heavy use, such as towing.

this would be real fun in a 1/2 ton ram truck hmm
 
From what I've heard these will be aluminum blocks with sprayed aluminum bores. I have basically no faith in that lol, put steel liners in the block and maybe....
 
LMAO at the spray liner saving 3lbs per block over the iron sleeves.

They probably save $$$$ which is way more significant to them ;)

The weight savings don't amount to a hill of beans on a truck so this is just about $$$ alone

From the article "Stellantis claims this also saves 3 pounds per engine block compared to a traditional iron liner."
 
Maybe Stellantis should hire you lol

Help them with their decisions, sounds like you know better than them
 
Oh dang looks like Ford does use this process…
On something called a shelby mustang …and nissan too on the gtr oh well

Sucks something fun and 500hp and not an electric car ….gets ripped on

I am actually surprised that they are working on new tech for internal combustion engines. A lot of suppliers are saying that they won't be developing new technology for IC engines without getting cash up front and guaranteed business. There is just no future for it as far as a lot of them are concerned.

The very first thing they do to the GTR is sleeve the block lol.

How many Shelby Mustangs get used daily and are expected to get 300K miles without a miss ?

I hope they do well, but given their track record I won't hold my breath. Comparing two low production fairly high performance/profit cars to trucks is basically laughable. The volume difference alone is staggering. I hope they can control the spray fluid and consistency, but my guess is they won't. You'll see rashes of engines that seem fine, and handfuls that are nothing but issues. Thats my guess as an engineer who specifically works on future engine development lol.
 
So far haven't heard of issues with the 2.0 turbo in the jeeps (same basic engine as the alfa romeo engine). Granted there aren't many that have hit even 100,000 miles yet, let alone 300K.
