MV Agusta F3 800 Ago limited edition

In tribute to multiple motorcycle World Champion and Isle of Man TT race winner Giacomo Agostini, MV Agusta has created the F3 800 Ago.

The new arrival’s distinguishing features include an Italian tricolour paintjob, carbon fibre mudguards, aluminium foot pegs and gold-coloured forged alloy wheels that are 2 kilos (4.4 lbs) lighter than the standard items.

Also fitted to the F3 800 Ago is the compact Bosch 9MP anti-lock braking system. Offering a choice of standard or race modes, it works in conjunction with a rear wheel lift-up mitigation (RLM) device which is there to ensure both wheels stay on the ground during heavy braking.

Like the regular F3 800, power is provided by a 146 bhp (109 kW / 148 PS) three-cylinder engine that comes equipped with eight-stage traction control. Among the bike’s key chassis components are a Marzocchi upside-down front fork, a Sachs monoshock rear suspension set-up and Brembo brake calipers.

Production of the F3 800 Ago is being restricted to just 300 examples and each will carry a numbered plaque on the handlebar yoke plus Agostini’s autograph on the fuel tank. In Italy the price has been set at €23,990, which is around £19,740 at current exchange rates.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
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
