The front body styling has been revamped, with fixed headlamps replacing the previous retractable units. This aesthetically pleasing modification, lending more "strength" to the front end, is also very important technically since fixed lamps guarantee better beam alignment and optimized visibility. The dash has been redesigned to house instruments of the latest generation - still analog, but electronically controlled. The new shape of the dash also affords space for a fully-integrated passenger airbag. Significant technological innovations have been introduced for mechanical components, engine and electronic systems: • braking system • new-generation ABS • inlet valve cam profile modified to increase lift • larger-diameter valves • electronically-controlled variable timing system • improved electronic system for engine control • updated data acquisition and diagnostics functions • fuel iniection system upgraded • Emission control and OBD I systems meeting the new 1999 USA and California standards With increased power output and a modified torque curve, transmission ratios have also been adapted, giving the customer various options (all in compliance with statutory requirements): "close" ratios for faster acceleration, and more conventional ratios for higher cruising speeds and comfort.
