Three Bonneville special editions launched

Triumph has announced three new special edition models, all of which are based on its Bonneville.

Bonneville Newchurch

The first is named after Neukirchen, a town in Austria that hosts the annual Tridays event for Triumph owners.

Offered in a choice of Sapphire Blue / Pure White or Cranberry Red / Pure White two-tone colour schemes, the Newchurch gains a black finish for its seven-spoke cast wheels, handlebar, mudguards, headlight bowl and mirrors. It’s also equipped with a low-profile saddle.

An on-the-road price of £6,999 in the UK means the Newchurch is £200 more than a regular Bonneville.

Bonneville Spirit

Using the Bonneville T100 as a starting point, the Spirit features a shorter rear mudguard taken from the Thruxton and the Scrambler’s smaller headlight.

It comes in a unique Spirit Blue / New England White paintjob, with contrast provided by blackened components. White saddle stitching completes the look.

Triumph is charging £7,499 for the Bonneville Spirit.

Bonneville T214

Lastly there’s the T214. That name recalls the 214.4 mph motorcycle land speed record set by Johnny Allen and his Triumph-powered streamliner in 1956 at the Bonneville Salt Flats.

Sharing much of its specification with the Spirit, the T214 wears a Caspian Blue / Pure White livery which has been inspired by the record-breaking bike of 58 years ago.

With worldwide production being limited to 1,000 examples, it costs £7,849.

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
