Dodge Blacktop editions

After a successful debut on the Charger, Dodge is extending the availability of its Blacktop package to the 2013 Avenger, Challenger R/T and Charger R/T models.

Essentially an assortment of cosmetic changes, all of the Blacktop editions come with their grilles and wheels finished in gloss black, as well as body-colour spoilers, darkened headlight bezels and some interior tweaks.

Based on the SXT trim grade, the Avenger Blacktop costs a supplementary $595 in the United States. Additional specification includes 18” alloy wheels, automatic headlights, an electrically-adjustable driver’s seat and automatic temperature control. Buyers will have a choice of five exterior paint colours, while leather upholstery with heated front seats is offered for a further $400.

Setting the Challenger R/T Blacktop apart are its 20” wheels and a matte graphite graphic with red pinstripe borders that runs the length of the car. Priced at $1,995, it also features the Super Track Pak, which comprises Goodyear Eagle F1 tyres, monotube dampers, upgraded brake pads and a performance steering system.

The arrival of the V8-powered Charger R/T Blacktop follows the V6 versions that were launched last year. Costing €1,795, the exterior touches are focussed on the 20” alloy wheels, rear spoiler and a 3.06 rear axle, whereas on the inside there’s a ten-speaker Beats Audio music system and steering wheel-mounted paddle shifters.

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
