The Alfa Romeo MiTo range has offered economical yet powerful diesel derivatives since it was launched in the UK in 2009. Now Alfa Romeo is ushering in the next generation of diesel technology with the introduction of MultiJet II.
The MultiJet II diesel engine marks its arrival in the form of the Alfa Romeo MiTo 1.3 JTDM-2. This new engine perfectly complements the Alfa Romeo MiTo philosophy of lowered emissions and fuel consumption without compromising performance and drive satisfaction.
Developed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies (FPT), MultiJet II is a continuation of FPT’s remarkable technologies pedigree.
Introduced in 2003, MultiJet was a development of UniJet which debuted on the Alfa 156 JTD in 1997. It improved the thermodynamic efficiency of the engine by introducing five injections during the same combustion cycle. Now in 2010 the Alfa Romeo MiTo benefits from the next generation of MultiJet technology.
Thanks to a new balanced solenoid servo valve, MultiJet II is able to control with high precision, the quantity of fuel injected into the cylinder, with a quicker and more flexible injection sequence. In fact, the new MultiJet II system can manage eight injections per cycle.
It all means that the second generation 1.3-litre MultiJet provides the driver with an engine that complies with Euro 5 emissions legislation, yet in 95bhp form gives the Alfa Romeo MiTo a 0-62mph acceleration time of 11.6 seconds while returning 65.7mpg (combined cycle) and emitting just 112g/km of CO2.

My favorite game, My favorite car- Porche Carrera GT
I initially recognized the Porsche CarreraGT from NFS. It is my favorite car in the racing game. The price is $444,000 dollars. It is well worth its price if we count the 5.7 litre V10 engine producing 612 DIN (605 SAE) horsepower (450KW) and the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h (62.5 mph) in 3.9 seconds, touching a maximum speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). The design is stunning too. The following video is the CarreraGT in the racing game and it is shot by myself. I have uploaded it to Youtube.
