Did you know that the V8 under the GranTurismo’s hood has some sisters?

This engine was originally developed in an engineering partnership between Maserati and Ferrari, while Maserati was under Ferrari’s full control. This engine would be the heart and soul of Maserati’s reintroduction to the United States market, and would become Ferrari’s first all-new V8 engine since the 1950’s. (The Ferrari 360 was the last car to use an engine based on the Dino V6 and V8 engine lineage that began in 1955: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferrari_Dino_engine)
