    According to an Italian automotive news site, Ferrari will develop and build two new engines that will be fitted under the hood of upcoming Alfa Romeo, Lancia, and Maserati models.

    Sources say the two engines will be a be a twin-turbocharged V6 producing a max of 450 HP and a naturally-aspirated V8 exceeding 500 HP. Both engines are part of a a €50 million ($62 million) investment made by Fiat and will be built on a new assembly line in Italy.

    Vehicles that will use this engine include Maserati’s upcoming SUV and mid-size luxury sedan, as well as Alfa and Lancia’s new flagship sedans.

    Sounds Nice, but lets get to the meat and potatoes of the issue.

    You can have all the horse power in the world but what is the Torque???? Little bity torque does not do much even with a bunch of power.

    Not a fan of engines that rev and have horsepower but no torque!

    • 20yr old ICE is not making 90% of its hp/torque, those rings, transmission, gaskets, etc.  and the overall condition would have it much less than that. Most engines are having to be rebuilt by 250k miles. Yes there are exceptions of those that are well taken care of and last a million miles,l but even then, they are not producing 90% of their HP and Torque and gas mileage is not what it was new either. Modeling of batteries is much beter than 64% also, We will have to take a wait and see attitude as electric motors have kept their output far longer than ICE motors as they age.  I think it will come down to maintenance, garage kept versus sitting outside in the elements. Lots to be taken into account.
    • No, that is not the headline.  "EV Batteries Can Easily Outlast A Typical Gas Car’s Lifespan: Study" What you said and what the article is about are two different things. A car's lifespan is almost always down to getting wrecked and totaled.  "Over this generous timespan, EV batteries suffer from about 1.8% degradation per year. This means that you’ll lose 1.8% of the original range every year–not ideal, but certainly not a dealbreaker. After 20 years, if nothing goes catastrophically wrong, you can still enjoy 64% of an EV’s original range. The data comes from analyzing over 10,000 EVs."  Oh wow, 64% battery capacity after 20 years? That makes most any EV pretty much done by 20 years. Nobody is buying an EV9 with 150 miles of range, and decreasing by the year. A 20 year old ICE vehicle still is making 90% of its total output and range.
