with of 183 feet lb.–ft. of torque. To ensure that the
two vehicles continue being high performance and be
track ready, the auto transmission continues to have

3. New Automatic Transmissions According to Fiat, the
automatic is derived from the same Standard 500 Aisin
Unit. However, it has undergone specific engineering
to make it compatible with the added power of the 1.4
liter MultiAir turbo engine.

4. According to a vehicle integration engineer, Allison
Singer, the gearbox modifications include “Gears that
have been reinforced and a few extra clutch plates.”
These are only a few of the changes that have come to
light. It is interesting to note that the automatic
transmission model will bring a new set of power
numbers as compared to its manual counterpart. It will
have torque of 183 pound feet and horsepower of 157.
The horsepower of the manual model is 160. Although
the horsepower is low, the torque is 13 feet pound
more in the automatic model. This aids drivability.

ft. - lb. of torque. The new model will also have a
dedicated sports mode, fuel cut upshifts, rev matched
downshifts, shift logic for holding gears in fast off
circumstances and corners, and at the same time,
provide a better throttle tuning. Although the torque is
higher, the manual model is quicker when
performances are compared. It is, however, the
availability of the auto transmission that gives it a
broader appeal, reaching out to the market of
purchasers.

younger generation, who are not able to drive a
manual transmission car, will not miss it. The
automatic transmission has widened the appeal of Fiat

to rice up to 16 percent.
