I haven't seen where it's been stated if the new V6 have belt or the preferred chain driven cams,anyone know?

I don't see any mention of a timing belt change as part of the maintenance schedule and all photos of the engine shows fully enclosed cylinder heads without any secondary covers on the side that would reveal a belt for changing.

@racergary: the Ghibli has a timing chain.

As I would expect for a car of this quality/price range!

Can't wait for 2014 when the UK gets its share of Ghiblis!

Ok,so when and if I'm asked about the 3.0L this is the correct description

3.0L
60 degree V
four overhead cams,two per bank of cylinders
24 valves,four per cylinder
direct injection
single spark plug with coil overs per cylinder
Aluminum block,cylinders and heads
twin turbos

eight speed automatic ZF transmission
Brembo brakes

I'd assume most new engines will be timing chain.

Ghibli has a timing chain.

The new V-6 motor, which shares its block with Chrysler’s Pentastar, also has 2 cu inch larger displacement than the original Chrysler 300C motor. These engine had no intention on ever making it back into any Chrysler automobiles. This particular motor is solely being used by Maserati and fettled by Ferrari.
