At present, because Maserati's product line has not been updated, this Italian super-running brand seems to have faded out of people's sight. However, if you think that Maserati has lost all its efforts, it is paranoid. As a pure Italian brand in the same strain as Ferrari, Maserati and Ferrari share many technologies. On the track, Maserati is one of the strongest competitors of supercars.
Of course, Maserati's strength is not groundless. How can you be an opponent of many super-runs without some materials? Not long ago, Maserati released a preview of the brand-new supercar MC20, and plans to make a world premiere at the brand ceremony in early September. With the launch of MC20, Trident brand will return to the track again and continue to write new track legends. The focus of this MC20 model is its "big heart"-totally independent research and development of Maserati's brand-new engine Nettuno Poseidon.
Although it is widely believed that Maserati developed a new engine because Ferrari had previously cut off the supply of 3.8 liters? V8 engine forced Maserati to develop it by itself. But in fact, before Ferrari was separated from its former parent company, Fiat-Chrysler Automobile Company (FCA) in early 20 16 and became an independent company, that is, in 20 15, Ferrari's R&D team had already started to design Maserati's new engine (named Nettuno), and this process was in 20/Kloc-0.
So how did Nettuno's Poseidon engine get its name? Nettuno is a coastal city in central Italy, Nietuno. The city is named after the Roman god Poseidon, so this engine is named after Poseidon. This engine was developed and manufactured in Modena factory, the headquarters of Maserati, and F 1 cutting-edge technology was introduced for the first time to improve engine efficiency, improve performance and save fuel consumption. Let's take a look at some data of Poseidon engine: a 3.0-liter V-type six-cylinder twin-turbo engine with a maximum horsepower of 630 horsepower and a maximum torque of 730 Nm. The maximum engine speed can reach 8000 rpm, and the engine weight is less than 220kg. The emission requirements meet the European 6 D and GB 6 B standards.
The V6 layout of Poseidon engine is different from that of ordinary V6 vehicles. The included angle of ordinary vehicles is 60 degrees, while the included angle is 90 degrees. The included angle of 90 degrees makes the center lower, which can improve the handling performance of the vehicle. The compression ratio of Poseidon engine is 1 1: 1, and the stroke is 82? Well, the inner diameter is 88? Well, the ignition sequence is 1-6-3-4-2-5. From the data point of view, the brand-new engine developed by Maserati is very violent. The power and torque of the engine have reached the level of V8 engine, even surpassed some V8 engines, and the most important thing is to meet the increasingly stringent emission requirements. It can be seen that Maserati spent a lot of time and energy developing this Nettuno engine.
"Poseidon" engine has three characteristics, namely, the precombustion chamber: a precombustion chamber is set between the central ignition electrode and the traditional combustion chamber, and the precombustion chamber is connected with the traditional combustion chamber through a series of special spray holes, thus realizing "turbulent jet ignition technology". Side spark plug: a spark plug installed on the side of the main combustion chamber can support the engine to work without starting the precombustion chamber. Double injection system-direct injection and indirect injection: the oil supply pressure can reach 350bar. The system can reduce noise, reduce emissions and save fuel consumption in the full speed range.
Nettuno Poseidon engine has won many international patents, using turbulence? Jeter? Ignition (TJI) turbulent jet ignition technology and innovative double spark plug precombustion chamber combustion system are one of the highlights of this twin-turbocharged engine. This technology originated from F 1 racing car and will be applied to a road vehicle engine for the first time. So what is turbulent jet ignition technology?
To put it simply, a certain amount of oil is injected into the pre-combustion chamber for combustion. Because the space of the pre-combustion chamber is small, the high-temperature and high-pressure mixed gas is ejected from the pre-combustion chamber to ignite the mixed gas in the main combustion chamber. In this way, the problem of engine knocking can be solved without reducing the compression ratio. The compression ratio of Poseidon engine 1 1: 1 can make a small turbocharger burst into a torque of 730 Nm. Of course, high compression ratio also means saving fuel. It is estimated that buying a vehicle with this engine will not care about the small problem of fuel consumption.
abstract
Matteo, chief engineer of Maserati? Valentini explained that the Nettuno engine will eventually power all the vehicles of the company, but he did not point out the specific models of the models after the MC20. He added that the six-cylinder engine will "return Maserati to the racing world", which means that its production may increase in the near future. When the MC20 makes its debut on September 9th, we will learn more about this engine.
In recent years, the brand Maserati has been controversial in China. Aside from other issues, as far as engine development and manufacturing are concerned, everyone agrees. With the birth of "Nettuno Poseidon" engine, Maserati has also proved its strong R&D strength, and years of technical accumulation have made this brand-new engine have perfect data. The MC20 equipped with this "heart" is about to gallop on the track, and whether Maserati can return to the throne with the MC20 is also worth our expectation. Finally, I hope Maserati will not be too capricious about the pricing of MC20. After all, there are many competing models now, and if the price is high, it can only be their own death.
