This means that torque is applied over a greater number of degrees of crankshaft rotation. (gm-volt.com)
This is, in part, a result of its multi-link design, where the piston connecting rods are almost vertical during the combustion cycle (rather than moving wider laterally, as they would in a traditional crankshaft rotation). (greencarcongress.com)
