This ensures a high level of heat absorption capacity of coolant more efficient heat dissipation ".
"Precision Cooling, so called (a principle similar to that used in Formula 1), involves only the elements of the engine to be quenched with coolant, which are particularly exposed to thermal stress. The engine continues to use air cooling, preserving the characteristic appearance of the opposing Twin boxer engine. The two radiators are small and are discreetly integrated, "he added.
