Found this additional info:
Powertrains: The entry-level engine will be a turbocharged V-6 that makes around 390 hp, likely with a conventional port fuel-injection system. This V-6 will be little more than a variation of Chrysler's ubiquitous Pentastar mill, and this high-performance version will—in various forms—be available in future Maserati, Alfa Romeo, and Chrysler Group models.
The uplevel engine, according to our sources, will be a Ferrari-derived, turbocharged and direct-injected V-8 with a likely displacement of 3.8 liters making roughly 490 hp—which sounds an awful lot like the Ferrari-sourced turbo V-8 we hear will power the next Quattroporte. And since there's so much component-sharing here, we'll mark down the Ghibli as another vehicle to use ZF's capable eight-speed torque-converter automatic.
