Fiat Coupé Technical Specs (20V Turbo)
Engine and Performance
- 2.0L 20V Turbo I5: A transverse-mounted, 5-cylinder engine featuring a Garrett TB2810 turbocharger and a specialized intake manifold with variable geometry on later "Plus" models.
- Output: Delivers 220 hp @ 6,750 rpm and 229 lb-ft @ 3,400 rpm, characterized by a unique five-cylinder acoustic signature.
- Performance: Capable of a 0-100 km/h sprint in 6.3 seconds.
- Internal Cooling: Features sodium-filled exhaust valves and a dedicated oil cooler to manage the high thermal loads generated by the high-boost five-cylinder configuration.
Drivetrain and Transmission
- Viscodrive (LSD): A key technical feature, this Ferguson-type viscous coupling is integrated into the front axle to prevent wheelspin and understeer during heavy acceleration.
- Transmission: Early models used a 5-speed manual, while the later "Turbo Plus" and "Limited Edition" variants were upgraded to a 6-speed manual for improved high-speed cruising and gear spacing.
- Clutch: A heavy-duty hydraulic pull-type clutch system designed to handle the instantaneous torque of the turbocharger.
Chassis and Design
- Suspension: Independent MacPherson struts in the front and independent trailing arms in the rear, mounted on a subframe to isolate road vibration.
- Braking: Features high-performance Brembo 4-piston aluminum front calipers with 305 mm ventilated discs, finished in a signature red on Turbo models.
- Wheels: Standard 16-inch alloy wheels, with "Turbo Plus" models featuring a unique 8-spoke design for improved brake cooling.
