2014 Chevrolet Camaro UK prices

Chevrolet has announced UK pricing for its facelifted 2014 Camaro.

In coupé guise it’ll cost from £35,320 with a six-speed manual transmission, while the convertible is an extra £5,000. Given the Chevrolet comes equipped with a 6.2 litre V8 engine developing 426 bhp (318 kW / 432 PS), that’s a lot of horsepower per £.

Of course, some UK buyers will be put off because the Camaro is left-hand drive only, but perhaps that factor just helps to make it even more unique? Indeed, there aren’t really any direct competitors.

A similar outlay could buy a selection of coupés of course, including the £35,445 Mercedes-Benz C 250 Coupé AMG Sport Plus with its 201 bhp (150 kW / 204 PS), the £35,905 Audi TTS Coupé that boasts 268 bhp (200 kW / 272 PS) and the £36,995 Nissan 370Z Nismo which has an output of 339 bhp (253 kW / 344 PS). However, all three have a very different flavour compared to their American rival.

The 2014 Camaro was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show earlier this year. Styling changes include a shallower front grille, a wider lower air intake, new horizontal rear light clusters and a restyled rear bumper that now incorporates a diffuser. The result is improved cooling, better high speed stability and a wider, more purposeful stance.

Deliveries of the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro are due to begin this November.

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 ...
