Fiat 500 TwinAir. A new car with retro forms

Price - $16,300, consumption 3.4 liters / 100 km, top speed 175 km/h.

On the car, the engine shuts off when it is idling. This is not the only technical innovation that has made the new 500 TwinAir, with its gasoline engine, the most economical in the world. Fiat has a sweet smell of exhaust fumes, an unusual engine buzz with fuel consumption of 4.08 l/km in city mode ( In London, the owners of such cars do not pay road tax).

This car is in the fairway of cars like the Citroën, C1 and Toyota Aygo, which have proven that small, lightweight cars with incredibly efficient engines can be more environmentally friendly than even electric cars. A recent study showed that an electric car must travel 129,000 km to compensate for CO₂ in the production of batteries. Considering that most electric cars will be used mainly in the city, the figure of 129,000 km is incredibly high.
The revolutionary TwinAir engine takes the car to a new level by adding intelligence. Some critics have even recognized the 875cc twin-cylinder, turbocharged engine as one of the greatest steps forward in engine technology in the last 20 years.
