After Detroit, Washington and this week Chicago, the motor show whirlwind carries itself to Geneva in March where the Fiat Group plans to unveil a host of new engines and new technologies.
According to Italiaspeed, the company will launch a turbocharged four-cylinder 1.8 litre engine that will be used in vehicles such as the Alfa Romeo 159 as well as the Brera, Spider and Mito GTA along with the Lancia Delta. It will offer horsepower ranging from 170 to 200 or, in the case of the Brera, Spider and Mito GTA, 230.
Italiaspeed also reports that the Fiat Powertrain Technologies group is close to production of the Multijet 2 new-generation diesel injection technology as well as a multi-air electrohydraulic valve-actuation system. The Multiair would improve torque by as much as 20 per cent compared to a petroleum engine and yet fuel consumption should be reduced by as much as 10 per cent.
The Multijet 2 engines are expected to be launched in Frankfurt later this year.
