2015 GMC Sierra Carbon Edition launched

GMC is offering three versions of its new Sierra Carbon Edition, all of which are based on the 1500 pick-up.

In standard guise, special features include carbon fibre appearance decals on the bonnet and tailgate. Complementing them are body-coloured door handles and mirror caps plus a black-painted grille. Available only with a double cab, it also comes with remote keyless entry, LED cargo box lighting and a 110-volt power outlet.

The Carbon 20 Edition meanwhile adds a set of 20” alloy wheels to the extra equipment list. Its overall specification is better too, as the double cab SLE variant is used as a starting point.

Completing the trio is the Carbon 22 Edition. This model additionally gets black tubular side steps, front fog lights, dual-zone climate control, a universal home remote system and – as that name suggests – 22” wheels. Again the SLE trim grade serves as a basis, but this time in crew cab as well as double cab form.

Buyers can opt for either rear- or four-wheel drive, and there’s a choice of 4.3 litre V6 or 5.3 litre V8 engines.

In the United States, prices for the 2015 Sierra 1500 Carbon Edition start at $33,075. The Carbon 20 Edition and Carbon 22 Edition cost from $38,275 and $42,270 respectively.

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

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).
