Maserati F136R configuration and sound Simplified article on why the Maserati motors sound different than the Ferrari version of the same engine. Layout Configuration F136 motors with the main difference Ferrari 90° V8, 180° flat-plane crankshaft Maserati 90° cross-plane crankshaft (Maserati, Alfa Romeo) The 4.2 Maserati motor is also the only Maserati modern street motor with dry sump lubrication.
