And we thought Suzuki K12M was a good powerplant!!!

Folks,

I don't if you are already aware of this. FIAT has launched the TwinAir engine way back in Feb,2010. Its a 2 cyclinder ( ya, you heard me right) 900cc engine generating 65 to 105 bhp. It packs 25% more punch than the current 1.2 and sips the delicious petrol even more cautiosly..... :dance

And now, the FIAT 500 has received this in a heart transplant operation and thus the FIAT 500C is born.

Glad to know FIAT is also actively developing such leaner, meaner and fitter technologies...

 

Interesting information.

K12M is good only when compared to older engines from same manufacturer!

 

Wow..!! This Small wonder from FIAT is a Power House, and i am sure, that this one will find way under the Hood of the Small Car for India, that slated for Launch in 2012.

As fas as the Suzuki K12 motor is concerned. Having driven almost all the Cars with the 1.2 Ltr space, i can easily say that the K12M is THE most refined & fun to drive motor in the segment. Have driven Punto 1.2 FIRE also, i must add that the motor was very refined at idle and surprisingly very drivable considering the weight of the car.
