• 1.7 L (1,680 cc; 102.5 cu in), bore and stroke 80 mm × 83.6 mm (3.15 in × 3.29 in).^[1] Built to be as light as possible, the engine walls were made thinner by the use of fins where extra strength was needed, while lateral ribs helped reduce vibration and noise. A new, two-stage glowplug meant that even cold starting times were rarely more than a few seconds.^[2]
