The 1.8l Di Turbo Jet petrol direct injection engine produces no less than 200 horsepower and 320 Nm of torque, enough to make the Delta jump to 100 km/hour in 7.4 seconds (a bit slow, we'd say, but given the car's size, acceptable). The top speed of the new Delta stands at 230 km/hour (143 mph).
What we found interesting in the specs of the new engine is the fuel consumption rating: 7.8l/100 km (30.1 mpg). On the other hand, CO2 emissions may give tree huggers nightmares, as it releases 185g of CO2 into the atmosphere. Enough to meet Euro 5 homologation standards though.
Otherwise, the new Delta employs all the technologies of today: electronic suspensions with a variable damping system, a new Sportronic 6-gear automatic transmission with steering wheel controls and the "Magic Parking" semi-automatic parking system.
For those who enjoy a more technical approach, we list below the specifications of the new Delta 1.8l engine:
- No. of cylinders, arrangement: 4, in line, transverse forward
- Bore x stroke (mm): 83X80.5
- Displacement (cc): 1742
- Compression ratio: 9.5-0.5 /+0,.0
- CE maximum output power: 147 (200 HP) KW from 5,000 to 5,500 rpm
- CE peak torque: 320 Nm from 1,400 to 3,750 rpm
- Emission standard: Euro 5
- Timing system (control): belt, twin overhead camshaft with double phase transformer.
- Fuel feed: turbocharger and petrol direct injection system
