MultiAir

For a car that ushers in a new age, Alfa Romeo presents latest generation petrol engines for revolutionary results in terms of performance, eco-friendliness and versatility. In particular, MultiAir technology marks a major leap forward in petrol engine design. This is achieved due to the principle underpinning this new technology: the possibility of continuously adjusting the main elements that guarantee optimum combustion at any speed and under all driving conditions.

An innovative hydro-electric system for operating the engine's inlet valves allows direct and dynamic control of air intake and combustion, replacing a conventional throttle valve is a  significant result from an environmental and economic viewpoint.

• Gives the ability to have 4 engines in one. Continually modifying valve opening intervals to give 4 different engine characteristics.
• From 10% to 35% more maximum power with the adoption of a high-performance cam profile.
• Up to 15% more torque at low speeds due to direct control over valve rise.
• Pick-up improved by up to 12% due to high air mass pressure.
• A reduction of up to 10% in fuel consumption and emissions thanks to the elimination of pumping losses.
