2013 Ford F-150 launched

Ford has unveiled its 2013 model year F-150 pick-up truck.

Externally, the changes aren’t too dramatic, and they include a restyled grille, new wheel designs and three extra paintwork choices: Blue Jeans Metallic, Kodiak Brown Metallic and Ruby Red Clearcoat Metallic. High-intensity discharge headlights will also be available for the first time, a unique feature for this market segment.

On the inside, there’s a redesigned centre console and some refreshed colour and upholstery choices, plus Ford’s Sync voice-controlled entertainment and communications system is now standard on the XLT trim grade and above. Lariat, King Ranch, Platinum and Limited models additionally come with MyFord Touch, which combines a centrally-mounted 8” colour touch-screen with a media hub and extra voice control commands.

Ford is offering a choice of four engines, all of which are paired with a six-speed automatic transmission:

· 302 bhp (225 kW / 306 PS) 3.7 litre V6
· 360 bhp (268 kW / 365 PS) 5.0 litre DOHC V8
· 365 bhp (272 kW / 370 PS) 3.5 litre V6 EcoBoost
· 411 bhp (306 kW / 416 PS) 6.2 litre SOHC V8

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
