City Car: Fiat 500 Twinair 2011 Review

fiat500twinair_2011_carzpageThe 500 TwinAir is a fascinating prospect. This is the point raised at the Fiat-kitsch review of its iconic 1950s city car to a new level of the 21 Century meaning. The TwinAir engine tested here, according to Fiat, “the greenest gasoline engine in the world,” but it has no batteries, EV fraud or hybrid. It’s just a highly efficient, low-friction, lightweight 875cc gasoline engine with two cylinders and a turbocharger. We expect it to be fast. But we can live with that?
Two cylinders and 875cc? The 500 TwinAir be terribly slow, I suppose? You know, it is not. There are 85bhp to play and more relevant, 107 pounds ft of torque from just 1900rpm, so if you push around in the city you never have a lack of buzz. City Car: Fiat 500 Twinair 2011 Review.

“Hum” is the operative word, as the engine has a distinctive touch – a sort of bubble-level V8 three octaves too high. It is very appealing, full of character and not at all intrusive. I have not driven the twin-pot 1957 Fiat 500, but I bet it sounded a bit like this. And that’s a good thing. It fits the car.
How flexible is the power of the 500 TwinAir, especially from the city?

fiat500twinair-2011_2The car is a function of its transmission – a five-speed manual transmission with very specific conditions. The first two courses are incredibly short, but you must keep the momentum all the time, even resorted to first while rolling up to a roundabout. But third is wonderfully long legs, and you can do most of your city driving without stirring up further. A 70 mph cruise on a dual carriageway is comfortable, but a slight tendency to have reached the fourth. The shifter is rubbery and imprecise, but pole affixed to the columns is fun to hold and to harass. It feels like driving an old car, but in a good way. The maximum speed of the 500 TwinAir is at 107 mph and 0-62mph takes 11sec. But we would say it’s like your clock’s ability to be water resistant to 50 meters – you do not need to test.

We’d better get used to it: The same technology will appear in the A6 and A8 hybrids. CAR just the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro tested, read so on our first test drive. Like all these electrical Gubbins fit together under the skin of the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro? Audi is the front-tried and trusted 2.0-liter TFSI (turbocharged and direct injected) gasoline engine, producing 208bhp and 258 pounds ft. Drive goes to all four wheels, and the transmission is an eight-speed automatic, but without a torque converter. Why not a torque converter? There sat in his place (and between the engine and transmission) is a 33kW (ft and £ 155) electric motor – the disc-shaped motor also acts as a starter and generator.

The 1.3 kW lithium-ion battery pack sitting under the trunk floor (and weighs just 38kg, says Audi) and the combined total output for the hybrid system is 241bhp and £ 354 m. The air conditioning compressor, power brakes and power steering are now electrically powered, too.
How efficient is the new Audi Q5 Hybrid? CarzPage Review: Audi Q5 Quattro with Hybrid 2011.

A combined fuel figure of 40.4mpg, exactly the same as a car equipped 2.0 TDI Q5. Which means diesel drive Europeans are currently ridicule. But the diesel emits 184g/km CO2-Q5, while the Q5 hybrid duck under 160g/km. Basically this car is not in Europe but elsewhere aim, compared with a conventional 2.0 TFSI 32.8mpg and 199g/km Q5, it is of course better – and a tenth quicker to 62mph, despite the c130kg weight gain.
