The TwinSpark along with some of the Honda VTECs are the few 4 cylinder engines I think actually sound decent. I think the variable intake runner gives the TS such a pleasing note
@@SpitfireFortyFour The K series is very Honda like in nature. It's clear their time collaborating together influenced Rover. Once the head gasket is replaced with an improved part they are great fun. The 2.0 V6 MIVEC in the Mitsubishi FTO is another small motor with a wonderful aggression on its big cam
@@ukwan The VVT will be responsible for the majority of the great sound. Having a variable intake helps too (though as you say the baby 1.6 does without). I've raced 1.8 TS in a 146 and a 2.0TS in a 156. They both blew themselves to smithereens true Alfa style 😂
Fiero possessore del Twin Spark 16 valvole che nell'uso quotidiano è un motore tranquillo ma quando butto a fondo l'acceleratore si trasforma in un motore cattivo , però se devo essere sincero l'8 valvole aveva più cattiveria ma amen

Don't forget the 4age
Not sure that makes any difference as the 1.6 doesn't have it and it still sounds great. The cam variator perhaps?
I'd throw the Rover K18 as found in the MG F/TF, Elise and Exige in there as well. They're extremely melodic!
