Dodge 100th Anniversary Editions

2014 marks the centenary of Dodge, so to celebrate the brand has unveiled a pair of special models.

The two-door Challenger and four-door Charger 100th Anniversary Editions are based on their respective Pentastar V6-powered SXT Plus or Hemi V8-powered R/T Plus trim grades.

Both have been given the same treatment, which begins on the outside with unique 20” polished five-spoke wheels, a granite crystal finish for the grille and commemorative badges. Eight paint colours are available, but the de rigueur choice has to be an exclusive shade called High Octane Red Pearl.

Moving to the interior, the 100th Anniversary Editions feature either Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa leather upholstery with a ‘custom cloud’ overprint and brass-coloured stitching. Also included are die-cast seatback badges, graphite trim pieces, embroidered floor mats and a flat-bottom three-spoke steering wheel.

Additionally the Challenger version, which carries a price premium of $2,500, gets white instrument faces, Mopar sill plates and a Boston Acoustics sound system. The Charger meanwhile comes equipped with black instrument gauges and a Beats audio system. It costs $2,200 extra.

The Dodge Challenger and Charger 100th Anniversary Editions will be offered in limited numbers from early next year.

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

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 ...
