2013 Nissan 370Z prices revealed

Nissan has announced UK pricing for its updated 370Z range. The good news for prospective buyers is that the entry-level coupé now costs £26,995, a reduction of £3,005.

On the other hand, anybody who has recently bought a pre-facelift model is likely to be unimpressed by the instant depreciation hit on their car.

Perhaps that price cut is in response to the arrival of the Toyota GT86 and Subaru BRZ twins, which both have £24,995 price tags. Like the Nissan, they are rear-wheel drive coupés, yet their four-cylinder boxer engine can’t match the 370Z’s V6 motor for power or performance. However, a GT86 / BRZ should be cheaper to run thanks to superior fuel economy and a significantly lower vehicle excise duty rate.

And then there’s the six-cylinder BMW 125i M Sport Coupé. Now marginally more expensive than the Nissan, it almost combines the efficiency of the GT86 / BRZ with the 370Z’s pace:

CO2 emissions 248 g/km 181 g/km 189 g/km
VED band L (£475) I (£220) J (£260)

Apart from the revised prices, changes to the 370Z for 2013 are limited to a redesigned front bumper that gains some daytime running lights.

As well as the basic 370Z and a new higher-output Nismo variant, the other available trim grade is the GT. Offered in either coupé or roadster guise, it additionally comes with larger 19” alloy wheels, red brake calipers, satellite navigation and a superior audio system.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
