Another Volkswagen Amarok limited edition

UK customers must be keen on special versions of the Amarok pick-up, because Volkswagen has begun 2015 by introducing another one here. This latest variant is called the Ultimate and production is being restricted to 500 units. A similar model was launched in Germany last June, so that name might sound familiar.

On the outside, it gains LED daytime running lights, some chrome strips for the grille, power-folding heated door mirrors, unique door decals, rear privacy glass and darkened taillight clusters. There’s a choice of either Deep Black or Reflex Silver paintwork, and the look is completed by a set of 19” ‘Aragonit’ five-spoke alloy wheels.

Heated front seats, Alcantara upholstery and a leather-trimmed steering wheel are all part of the interior’s standard specification. Furthermore satellite navigation, Bluetooth and a rear reversing camera come fitted too.

In this country Volkswagen intends to offer just one engine for the Amarok Ultimate, a 2.0 litre BiTDI turbo diesel that produces 177 bhp (132 kW / 180 PS).

Prices start at £29,555 with a six-speed manual gearbox and selectable 4Motion all-wheel drive. Alternatively, buyers can opt for an eight-speed automatic transmission and permanent all-wheel drive combination that costs from £30,970. Both amounts exclude VAT.

2013 Suzuki Burgman 650

Image
Suzuki is giving its Burgman 650 maxi-scooter a comprehensive update for 2013. Although at first sight it might be hard to spot the differences, the new version has a slimmer rear end, more prominent multi-reflector headlights, LED position lights and mirror-mounted indicators. Power continues to come from a 638 cc, fuel-injected twin-cylinder engine that’s connected to a continuously variable transmission. But it’s now reckoned to be 15% more economical when in ‘Drive’ mode, thanks to reduced mechanical losses and revised transmission settings. To further help minimise fuel consumption, a new Eco Drive Indicator lights up on the dashboard when the Burgman is being ridden in an efficient style. However, for those occasions when pace is more important, ‘Power’ mode can be selected instead for a sharper throttle response. A third option remains ‘Manual’ mode, which allows the rider to select from five preset gear ratios via a handlebar-mounted switch. Another aspect that Su

Ford launches Fiesta Metal

Image
The hot ST should hopefully be arriving in showrooms soon but, until that happens, the quickest Fiesta available will be the just-announced Metal special edition. Based on the existing three-door Zetec S, it comes complete with Ford’s Tuning Pack that lifts the 1.6 litre Duratec engine’s power by 13 bhp (8 kW / 14 PS) to 132 bhp (96 kW / 134 PS). Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either. It gets Ebony Black leather sports seats, Piano Black trim, stainless steel door scuff plates and unique floor mats. Only 1,000 examples of the Ford F
