VF Commodore SSV revealed

Following the unveiling of the luxury-spec Calais V-Series at the weekend, Holden has now revealed the sportier side of its new VF Commodore.

Although the VF Commodore SSV is still being termed a ‘show car’, it’s anticipated that the production version will be virtually identical. What’s more, it also gives a very good indication of what the Commodore-based Chevrolet SS is going to look like.

Holden is certainly confident about the new model’s prospects. Chairman and Managing Director Mike Devereux said: “When it came to our sport luxury range, we wanted to create an Australian performance car that would be at home just about anywhere in the world.

“VF Commodore’s pure driving enjoyment and advanced technology are good enough to seriously challenge any large performance sedan on the planet. We’ve also packaged VF’s performance and technology in a stylish and sophisticated design that will be right at home on any street from George Street, Sydney to 5th Avenue, New York City.”

Sales of the VF Commodore are due to begin in mid-2013.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
