I've recently purchased a Panda 4x4 Antarctica, removed the silly penguin decals, had a engine remap from 85bhp to about 105bhp, now pulls like a train in all gears, well happy!
They fucked up by not using a 270 degree crank with true dual exhaust though. Same efficiency, same power, smoother engine and much better sound: th-cam.com/video/HGajnVFj7R8/w-d-xo.html (Starts at 0: 55)

Ive had the twinair panda lounge, and twinair 500 S, but that one developed some kind of engine fault, a software issue apparently and not long after, Fiat removed this engine from the lineup. Got a panda 4x4 multijet instead. Wrong! Should have got the twinair version. The diesel had such awful gearing, it was impossible to do more than 60mph on the motorway or else it would sound like it would rattle itself to bits. Got an abarth 500 after that LOL.
I had a twinair trekking for six years and went all around the UK in it, did offroading and all sorts. It never put a foot wrong. It's now my brothers and I miss it greatly.
@@oddities-whatnot I eventually got the 4x4 Twinair version, a limited edition Antarctica model, had it over a year now, very happy with it, 6 speed box helps a lot to keep the engine in that 'happy' part of the rev range to get the best out of that 875cc engine. Surprisingly it is very nimble, definitely no slouch! 👍😎
@@pdtech4524 thanks for replying, im running costly older Subaru and tempted to get a new Panda 4x4 twinair. I cant drive cars without some sort of AWD :D
@@oddities-whatnot Really happy with my Fiat Panda 4x4 Antarctica with the Twinair engine, just over 2 years of trouble free ownership. I was very apprehensive of the little 875cc 2 cylinder engine for a car, I'm used to 2.0 traditional 4 cylinder engined cars. I needn't have worried, it's a very capable engine 85bhp is plenty for such a small car. It definitely benefits from the 6 speed gearbox and you'll need to keep it in the optimum gear to keep the engine in it's most efficient place in the rev range. 1st is very low, it's meant to be a crawler gear for making progress over a rough terrain or a loose surface but it's also perfect in slow moving traffic, just put it in 1st it will crawl along at engine tick over speed without any clutch dipping, it has plenty of torque it won't stall, 6th gear is a very tall gear. MPG varies considerably, best I've had on a long run with the car loaded up for a camping trip, 2 adults and a dog plus all our gear, mixed driving, 54mpg. Round town you'll easily get mid 40s mpg but put your foot down and rev it through the gears it'll easily go down to mid 30s mpg. Road tax is super cheap, I pay £30 a year, insurance is also very cheap. Servicing costs are minimal and easy to do yourself, 3.2 litres of oil and 2 spark plugs, there's a gearbox and rear diff, no centre diff or transfer box. It's got a really clever drive train, basically it is FWD but the rear wheels get drive if the front wheels start slipping. It also has Electronic Stability Control which stops a slipping wheel and puts more torque to the other wheels with grip. Then there is 4x4 with Electronic Locking Diff all 4 wheels are driven equally. It's all automatic apart from the ELD button. Would recommend having a test drive and see how you feel about it. The cross version really looks the part.
Lovely engine note, fits well to the Panda. Easily the most punchy engine in it's class, shame it doesn't sell any better. What will happen to Fiat when the 500 goes out of fashion?
I wish they would’ve used a 270 degree crank! The engine would have the same power and efficiency while being smoother and having a much much better sound. Would be similar to this: th-cam.com/video/b3ZDS6ssXcc/w-d-xo.html

I've got one of these. It's got a lot of torque for a small engine. It's a great motorway car as it pulls so well in higher gears.
Higginz1220 true that, I had one a few years ago. Sat at 70 mph very nicely and still had pulling power left. Relaxing cruiser.
I love this car and this engine!

Wonderfull Panda, Wonderfull driver, Wonderfull video!!! This Panda is a monster!!!
Interesting engine note!
Just bought 4x4’ Twin Air. Love it but juicy. Seems to have a rev limiter around 6000. Or is that just mine?
I've got a Panda 4x4 twin air and if I keep it in eco mode I'm lucky to see 38 mpg , so it's not just you regards!
Is this a standard Panda? Which version? Thinking of buying a Panda 4x4 but don’t know much about them yet.
I LIKE THE SOUND, THANKS FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO oh sorry for the all caps, not meaning to shout
Is this a standard unmodded Panda? Which version is it?
Fiat Panda Twin Air 0.9 2cyl Turbo.

Sounds bloody great. Really considering one of these now. Have you had any issues?

I'm looking at getting a Fiat panda 4x4 twin air, what are your thoughts on long term ownership? Pros and cons? Is yours the 4x4?
Cheers Phil
Great choice, just avoid the diesel, gearing is appalling for motorways.

is this panda the lounge or the easy edition?
+Edoardo Mari it's the easy edition
I got the twinair fiat 500 and I feel some vibrations from the engine at low revs, do you feel the same in your panda?
Yes that's normal. Lots of vibrations below 1500rpm so keep it above there
nice, 60 bhp?
+Edwin van der Velden no 85bhp
And Max Speed?
Yes. It comes with a Max Speed. In fact it comes with several... one for each gear. Not to be confused with "Max Headroom".
This sounds like the old lampredi twin cam from the 80s 😀
Keep it in gear longer... get the revs up! These engines sing (and pull) at 5000rpm, but you're changing up too early and spoiling the fun!
Lovely engine note, fits well to the Panda. Easily the most punchy engine in it's class, shame it doesn't sell any better. What will happen to Fiat when the 500 goes out of fashion?
they'll reinvent the 600
Sounds like a lot of wind and road noise, good to have seen speedo and revs, and what's with the infant,s toys hanging from mirror.
Jordan I was thinking the same. billalbion is not happy :(
You do get some wind noise in Pandas, I think from the front pillars or mirrors but to be honest its a relaxing sound to me.
I wish they would’ve used a 270 degree crank! The engine would have the same power and efficiency while being smoother and having a much much better sound.

Why not 180deg? It does seem weird having a "straight 2" with both cylinders firing simultaneously.
