Mopars new V6- the Pentastar
I've heard the majority of these will be made in Mexico. Is that correct?
I got this from Wiki, could be crap don't know.
The Pentastar engines will be made in
Trenton, Michigan and
Saltillo, Mexico. The
Saltillo, Mexico plant is set to begin production in the 2012 model year (with parts machined in
Toledo, Ohio).
Insiders initially reported that the engine would come in four basic sizes (3.0L, 3.3L, 3.6L, and 4.0L), each offered in
various states of tune. The 4.0L has been dropped from the list and a 3.2L added, according to
Allpar as of November 2008 and October 2010, respectively, while Fiat's investor website, as of Dec., 2011, specifies the 3.0L with Fiat's multi-air technology.
[8] The 3.6 liter engine itself has different horsepower ratings in different vehicles, and has higher horsepower (305 hp) and torque (268 lb-ft) as used in the Dodge Challenger
[9]
Twin and single turbocharged variants are planned for 2014. These engines are projected to produce around 420 and 370 horsepower respectively. Direct injection is also planned.

Due to the new ownership structure,
Fiat has obtained the right to use these engines, and currently plans to adopt them in the larger models of
Lancia and
Alfa Romeo.
