Fiat's MultiAir technology isn't exactly breaking news but its application in a new 80bhp, turbocharged 900cc twin-cylinder engine tucked away under the bonnet of the 500 is an intriguing development.
MultiAir's worth proves itself by delivering 25bhp more than the current 1.2-litre 'four' while using 30 per cent less petrol. It's a kind of magic.
