From their chart it looks like it's at least match the torque if not above the 3.6L starting at 1500rpm. I would imagine this is gonna be a really pleasant and effortless feeling engine to drive around.

It is a best thing ever!
Yeah I think it is probably super useful to be able to vary the flow rate through the engine on command instead of being tied to engine rpm.

The article says both are used under high load.

My BMW has 4 settings. Under light losd pump hikes up temperature for efficiency. On track it drops temperature all the way down to 178f.
If you look at the Stellantis slideshow pictures in the article. It says the pre chamber firing with the main chamber turned off at off load.

Might not take that long …
I think I trust an electric water pump on a Toyota much more than a stellantis product ...
When an electric fuel pump dies, the car just shuts off.
When an electric water pump dies, there's risk of significant engine damage.
I originally felt that way about the 2.3L in my Explorer (so a similar application to this) but lately it seems to be getting louder and more unrefined (at ~50k miles). Or at least my perception of it is changing. And there are similar complaints with the other crossovers in which turbo fours have recently been introduced. I'm actually thinking about getting a V6 crossover before they become unavailable.

Test drive an EV.
I remember when the 2.7 V6 came out in 1998 and Chrysler PR was bragging about how they went from the first lines on a CAD model to full production in 18 months. Which was true but development was incomplete and the product was unreliable.
I will give the boys and girls credit for maintaining some bits of equilibrium in their engineering department through constant organizational tear-ups AMC/Chrysler/Daimler/Cerberus/Fiat/Stellantis.
It's difficult and expensive to demonstrate long term durability on powertrains. Everybody seems to be going with small displacement and a lot of turbo boost. We'll know in 10 years or so.

Not unless the operator ignores idiot/warning lights.
Typical they die a slow death and the DME constantly monitors how the pump is performing. The owner should get plenty of warning.
That trick has been used in F1.
It looks like Maserati was already using it. I'm assuming its almost just a copy and paste from the Maserati Nettuno engine. Engineering Explained looks to have a video on this technology. Link
I've been involved in turbocharged engines for decades. 45 years ago it was common to reliably reach 300HP from iron block 4 cylinder, 2 valve street engines. With good design, this kind of engine output has long been possible. Heck, Ford's 350HP 2.3L Focus RS is in this category. And Jaguar's 300HP 4 cylinder is fairly close too.
I don't like the open deck design though. 30+ pounds of boost requires a very stable block and head configuration. Like some posts above, I have concerns that key details will be overlooked.

The article mentioned that the cylinder bore wall thickness was increased substantially. Presumably they did some analysis of how thick the bore walls needed to be to ensure dimensional stability.
Lol, it is Stellantis, someone probably just looked at it and said 'that'll do'.
I kid, I kid. Everyone else is just as bad.
What grade fuel will this engine require?
