What we know or think we know about the upcoming I6

The leaning tower of power !

1.) GME-T6 is the official name.
2.) Yes
3,) No
4.) Yes it will have capability
5.) Sort of, it will be between the 3.6-liter Pentastar and entry level HEMIs... replacing the Pentastar on certain models. Being an inline-6 the GME-T6 has less parts and will be cheaper to build than a V6 engine
6.) Yes, WL which according to my sources constantly flip-flops between 2020 and 2021 model year debut. I am saying 2021 to be on the safe side. Yes, it will be offered at launch.
7.) As I said above it will be offered on a wide range of RWD-based Chrysler Group products. Charger, Challenger, the new Durango, Wagoneer, Ram 1500 and I am hearing eventually Wrangler when it gets its refresh.
8.) A specific version might find its way to Alfa Romeo, but more than likely not for Maserati. FCA US is doing the core engineering development on this engine. Actually as I said before, a lot of the Viper engine team are doing the engineering. So expect this thing to be heavily over engineered for more boost.

Re: #2, not 3 liters eh? Interesting. Should we expect bigger or smaller?

You've said this a long time ago. Was it removed?



I have a different opinion. Big engines, and 3 liter is a big for Alfa, is more in Maserati's tradition and Maserati has bigger cars in its lineup in company to Alfa.

The only Alfa Romeo car which I can see version of this engine is big SUV.

And... For sports cars. Is it better to choose V6 or Inline 6 and why?

Alfas in the North American market its not hig. Also no E-Booster has always been part of the plan.

Let's just say 3.X-liter

No electric turbo or no turbo at all?

Alfa in North America?
