Best Engine of 2010

The revolutionary MultiAir engine won the prestigious “Engine of the Year” award in the best new engine of the year category.

Developed and produced by Fiat Powertrain Technologies, the 1.4 MultiAir Turbo engines with power ratings between 135 and 170 HP, set new standards in terms of efficiency.
With its 124 HP/litre, the 170 HP range leader, in particular, notches up a particularly high specific power that ensures sporty performance with record-breaking fuel consumption and emissions.

With cylinder-by-cylinder, stroke-by-stroke direct air intake control and without a throttle valve, multi award-winning MultiAir technology cuts fuel consumption and CO2 emissions by up to 10%, while obtaining 10% more power and 15% more torque. Furthermore, precise combustion control also reduces polluting emissions.
MultiAir is versatile technology that can easily be applied to all petrol engines. Interesting potential developments are in store for diesel engines too.
The prize of “Best New Engine of the Year” was awarded by an international panel made up of 65 specialist journalists from 32 countries.

“A lot of power combined with low emissions make the 1.4 an excellent engine. When we also look at fuel consumption, the MultiAir Turbo engine is truly an outstanding power unit. It is easy to understand why it received the prize of best engine of the year”, declared Dean Slavnich, Joint Chairman of the Competition and owner of the magazine Engine Technology International.
