This is due to a faster flame propagation through the cylinder from sparks starting in separate locations. Note, multi electrode sparkplug (3 or more) do not have the same effect because the spark only goes between the center and one of the other electrodes.

Alfa-Romeo's have (or had)
Twin-Spark engines. These engines were attached to some very nice looking, and nice to drive cars which would fall apart very quickly due to lack of dealer interest.
