2015 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster RR

A pair of wire-spoke wheels with forged hubs and a red anodised finish for the Marzocchi upside-down front fork offer visual hints that the new RR is more special than a regular Brutale 800 Dragster.

The enhancements begin with the three-cylinder engine. Although its 798 cc capacity is unchanged, MV Agusta has increased power output from the usual 123 bhp (92 kW / 125 PS) to 138 bhp (103 kW / 140 PS). Peak torque meanwhile has risen by 5 Nm (3 lb/ft) to 86 Nm (63 lb/ft).

With a slightly heavier dry weight of 168 kg (370 lbs), the result is a top speed of 153 mph (245 km/h).

Standard equipment includes a slipper clutch, a steering damper that’s manually adjustable to eight settings, traction control and Bosch 9 Plus anti-lock brakes with rear wheel lift-up mitigation.

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
