    The retro Fiat 500 will celebrate its third birthday very soon. To celebrate this, Fiat is introducing a new innovative TwinAir two-cylinder 85 HP (900 cc) engine. 
     
    This engine will be marketed from next September in the 500 Saloon and Cabriolet. This is the first of a new family of two cylinder engines made by Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT). it implements the award-winning MultiAir system combined with specific fluid dynamics optimised for maximum fuel efficiency. 
     
    Furthermore, by taking the concept of downsizing to the extreme and tuning the basic mechanics, the new family, delivering from 65 to 105 HP, emits 43% less CO2 than an engine of equal performance.
