2015 Corvette Z06 European prices revealed

Chevrolet has announced that its European dealers are now accepting orders for the Corvette Z06 Coupe and Convertible.

In the UK prices start from £86,400. So, based on cost at least, that makes models such as the Porsche 911 Carrera S and Maserati GranTurismo direct rivals. However, with 394 bhp (294 kW / 400 PS) and 399 bhp (297 kW / 405 PS) respectively, neither gets even close to matching the 650 bhp (485 kW / 659 PS) produced by the Corvette Z06’s supercharged 6.2 litre V8 engine.

The Chevrolet is being offered with a choice of seven-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmissions. Included in its standard specification are adjustable Magnetic Selective Ride Control dampers, the Performance Traction Management system and widened arches that house lightweight aluminium wheels.

Also available as an option is the Z07 Performance Package. This comprises Brembo carbon-ceramic brake discs, Michelin Pilot Super Sport Cup tyres and additional aerodynamic elements. It certainly isn’t cheap, though.

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
