MAHLE Downsized Engine: 3D Animation

The unit, a three-cylinder gasoline engine, can appropriately power a mid-class passenger car with a power output per liter of up to 120 kilowatts (163 hp). Compared to typical gasoline engines in this vehicle class, this is a downsizing by half—with up to 30 percent less fuel consumption. The technology demonstrator uses cutting-edge technology: forged pistons, two overhead composite camshafts with double camshaft adjustment, four valves per cylinder, direct injection, air-water charge air co
