Fiat the group, is currently developing a new 1.8-litre turbo engine that will revolutionise the way it does businessin the near future. The 4-cylinder,direct-injection motor begins production in early 2013 and will be fitted intoa whole range of cars that are branded Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Dodge and Chrysler among others.
Several power figures will be achieved, up to about 225kW. Yes, from a 1.8-litre. Think aboutthe fact that BMW’s twin turbo 3.0-litre and Mercedes-Benz’s 3.5-litre V6 kick out the same amountof thrust. Cars set to benefit from it include the upcoming 4C sports coupe and the next-generationMito.
“This is an extremely important step for Alfa Romeo, as wecontinue to reposition our brand andprepare it for global distribution. The UnitedStates remains our primary objective as we prepare for a 2013 introductionof our models,” Harald J. Wester,Fiat’s Chief Technology Officer and head of the Alfa Romeo and Maserati Brandswas quoted as saying.
