the engine is able to produce 220 hp from just 1.5 liters of displacement. Also interesting is that this engine produces about 158 g/km of CO2, for a fuel consumption rate of 6.7 l/100 km (35 mpg). The company announces that next year will see the introduction of an improved version capable of 270hp with CO2 emissions under the 140 g/km level.
