2011 Fiat 500 TwinAir







2011 Fiat 500 TwinAir sports car - Fiat introducing an innovative TwinAir two-cylinder 85 hp (900 cc), which will be marketed from next September,Fiat 500 TwinAir (sedan and convertible like).
The first of a new family of two-cylinder engines made by FPT - Fiat Powertrain Technologies, it implements the revolutionary MultiAir system combined with specific fluid dynamics optimized for maximum fuel efficiency. Furthermore, by taking the concept of downsizing to the extreme and masterfully tuning the basic mechanics, the new family – delivering from 65 to 105 HP – emits 30% less CO2 than an engine of equal performance.
Significantly the new Fiat TwinAir 85 HP two-cylinder engine will complement the many technological solutions already adopted by the Fiat 500 to contain consumption and emissions as demonstrated by the recent expansion of the engine range, now featuring a second-generation 1.3 MultiJet delivering power of up to 95 HP. With 8 injections per cycle, the 1.3 MultiJet II improves low rpm torque delivery by up to 38% and cuts CO2 emissions by 6%. Again with a focus on environmental protection, the Fiat 500 TwinAir (saloon and cabrio) is available with Start&Stop, the system which temporarily stops the engine and starts it again when the car is stationary with the engine idling: this reduces urban cycle average consumption by up to 12%. The principles of the Fiat 500 TwinAir range are also implemented in eco:Drive, innovative software for analyzing driving behavior and helping motorists optimize consumptions and emissions by using the USB port of the Blue&Me system.
