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.

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

Image
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 ...
