2015 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe limited edition

Ahead of the launch of an all-new model next year, Cadillac has unveiled a special version of its current CTS-V Coupe which will have a limited production run of just 500 units.

Unique exterior features comprise red brake calipers that sit behind satin graphite wheels, as well as a dark finish for the front grille. Available paint colours are Phantom Gray, Black Diamond or Crystal White.

The interior meanwhile gains Recaro front seats, Ebony upholstery, red stitching and Midnight Sapele wood trim. Completing the package are metal pedals and a microfibre suede covering for the steering wheel and gearshift knob.

Technically things remain unaltered, which means power continues to come from a 6.2 litre supercharged V8 engine that produces 556 bhp (415 kW / 563 PS). Buyers can combine it with either an automatic transmission or a six-speed manual gearbox.

In the United States the 2015 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe limited edition is priced from $72,195 (including destination charge and gas guzzler tax).

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

As in recent years, Honda has entrusted Dutch concern Ten Kate Racing with running the factory WSB team. First thing on the Castrol Honda agenda is a two day testing session at the Motorland Aragón circuit in Spain later this week.

2012 Buick Regal GS

Image
Buick has unveiled the halo version of its Regal, the model that’s based on the Vauxhall / Opel Insignia. Called the GS, it will come with a turbocharged two-litre Ecotec four-cylinder engine connected to a six-speed manual transmission (a six-speed automatic will also be available later). An output of 255 bhp (190 kW / 258 PS) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) of torque promises brisk performance, with Buick estimating that the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) sprint should be achieved in under seven seconds. But the Regal GS is front-wheel drive, which raises a rather obvious question: Why didn’t Buick simply badge-engineer the Vauxhall Insignia VXR (also known as the Opel Insignia OPC)? Not only do the European cars get a 2.8 litre V6 turbocharged Ecotec motor with 320 bhp (239 kW / 325 PS) and 435 Nm (321 lb-ft) of torque, but they also feature permanent four-wheel drive. As a result, the VXR / OPC gets from 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds, while top speed is electronically limited to 155 mph (250 km/h).
