Three Jeep Wrangler concepts for Moab 2014

Jeep has collaborated with Mopar to create three special Wrangler concepts for this year’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab, Utah.

The first is the Wrangler Level Red, which has been named after the highest trail difficulty rating. Finished in black with red graphics, it features prototype 17x8” beadlock-capable wheels shod with 35” BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tyres.

Also fitted are modified bumpers, skid plates, a 2” suspension lift, Dana 44 axles and a Rock-Trac transfer case that gives the Level Red a crawl ratio of 73:1. Changes to the 3.6 litre V6 engine meanwhile are restricted to a cold-air intake and low-restriction exhaust system. Leather upholstery, a custom spare wheel carrier, half-doors and the Jeep Cargo Management System complete the transformation.

Next up is the very orange Wrangler MOJO. It’s essentially a four-door version of the Level Red, although the equipment list gains rock rails, a front-mounted winch, LED headlights and fog lights, a rear cargo tray and larger 37” BFGoodrich Mud Terrain tyres.

Finally, the Wrangler Maximum Performance is aimed at more extreme off-roaders. As well as a 4” suspension lift, its chassis upgrades consist of a 4:1 Rock-Trac transfer case, 4.88 gearing and Dana 60 axles with push-button electric locking.

Among the other modifications are a row of LED lights mounted above the windscreen, flattop wheel arch extensions and a Stinger front bumper unit. Finishing touches are provided by Mopar Blue paintwork, a contrasting black grille and Moab-inspired decals.

The 2014 Easter Jeep Safari starts on the 12th of April and runs for eight days.

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 ...
