Opel/Vauxhall gives Adam a three-cylinder
Adam is
the first car in the OpelVauxhall range to receive the new, all-aluminium three-cylinder
1-litre Ecotech direct injection turbocharged gasoline engine developed at the
company’s International Technical Development Centre.
The engine comes
in two power outputs: 90PS and 115PS. Both ratings deliver low-end torque of
166Nm from 1,800rev/min. Like the two new generation 1.6-litre mid-size units the
company has launched recently, the1.6 Ecotech direct injection turbocharged
gasoline engine and the 1.6 CDTi ‘Whisper Diesel’, the new 1-litre Ecotech is
said offer “benchmark refinement with outstandingly low noise, vibration and
harshness”.
