Mv Agusta amazed visitors to its stand by unveiling a prototype of a future five-cylinder engine capable of delivering up to 240 horsepower and 130 Nm of torque.
A distinctive feature of the new unit is its square architecture, with the three front cylinders aligned with the two rear ones. The result is a very compact engine block, so much so that its width is comparable to that of the 950 cc three-cylinder currently fitted to some models. Once developed, it should also be extremely light, as engineers are targeting a weight of under 60 kg.

The engine will be produced in displacements ranging from 850 to 1,150 cc, serving as the basis for a future family of motorcycles with different characteristics, from sport-oriented to touring models. At present, no official statements have been made regarding technical specifications or construction solutions. Observing the available images, one can only speculate that it features a double overhead camshaft layout, with a central camshaft serving the intake valves of both cylinder banks, and that each intake valve breathes through dedicated intake ducts.
