2013 Roush Mustangs

Michigan-based tuner Roush has announced its latest performance packages for the Ford Mustang.

Available for both coupé and convertible models, the entry-level Stage 1 conversion spruces up the Mustang’s looks with a Roush Aerobody kit. It includes a three-piece boot lid spoiler, replacement grilles, a bonnet air scoop and chrome exhaust tips.

Stage 2 focuses on the chassis. Body roll is controlled by a larger, stiffer front stabiliser bar, while the handling is improved by the fitment of twin-tube dampers, stiffer springs, upgraded bushes and an anti-hop kit. Completing the alterations are 18” by 10” five-spoke cast aluminium wheels that come shod with specially developed Cooper RS3 tyres.

Extra grunt is provided courtesy of the Stage 3 modifications. Outputs from the 5.0 litre V8 engine are increased from the stock Mustang GT’s 402 bhp (300 kW / 407 PS) and 511 Nm (377 lb/ft) of peak torque to 565 bhp (421 kW / 572 PS) and 684 Nm (505 lb/ft), thanks to a Roush R2300 supercharger that’s based on an Eaton Twin Vortices Series design.

Among the further options available are 20” wheels, various brake upgrades, leather and suede upholstery and rear quarter window louvres.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
