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.

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

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 ...
