Despite being twin-turbocharged, the engine will still run a compression ratio of 11:1.
Maserati claims the new engine utilises technology derived from Formula 1, such as the use of a combustion pre-chamber and laterally-mounted spark plugs.
A twin injection system (both direct and indirect) will also lower emissions and improve fuel consumption.
