The gains were achieved thanks to a meticulous refinement of the unit, aimed primarily at reducing internal friction. Through solutions such as the sequential twin turbo, the spark plugs and injectors piezoelectric ceramics, the five-cylinder 2.4 boasted a level of consumption among the best in the segment when it was already on the S80 was introduced in late 2008.
