Two Ram 1500 Sport packages launched

Ram has added the limited edition Ignition Orange Sport and Black Sport variants to its 1500 pick-up range.

Both so-called 'buzz' models come in crew cab form only. Their standard specifications include a 5.7 litre Hemi V8 engine and an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, while four-wheel drive is optionally available.

As well as its bright orange paintwork, the 1500 Ignition Orange Sport is distinguished by a matte black bonnet decal. Inside, the same vivid shade is used for the seat inserts, stitching and embroidery.

Unsurprisingly the 1500 Black Sport features an all-black colour scheme that extends to the grille inserts and 20” wheels. It's a similar story for the interior, although some dark chrome trim attempts to alleviate the blackness.

In the United States, pricing for the Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab starts from $42,215 (inclusive of a destination charge). Ordering either the Ignition Orange or Black packages will increase that figure by $1,595.

Production of each is being restricted to 1,000 examples.

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
