Three Ford Edge customs for SEMA 2015

Ford has commissioned three modified Edge crossovers for the Specialty Equipment Market Association show, which takes place next month in Las Vegas.

Ignition by Webasto

Like the two other Edge customs, Ignition by Webasto is based on the current Sport trim grade. Unsurprisingly, several of its key components have been supplied by Webasto. Among them are a sunroof, a ThermoCall TC3 parking heater and a Thermo Top Evo engine pre-heater.

Upgraded Rotora brakes sit behind 22” AG Luxury forged wheels, while a front splitter, side skirts and a rear diffuser – all made from carbon fibre – help to create a more purposeful look.

A high-flow air filter plus a recalibrated ECU are some of the tweaks made to improve performance. Sportier suspension settings complete the transformation.

Tjin Edition

Axalta Clipper Blue paintwork and matching ADV.1 22” three-piece wheels give the Tjin Edition Edge a definite colour theme.

Air Lift air suspension together with an Air Lift Performance 3H air management system are the most significant alterations, though. And the changes don't stop there, because larger brakes are fitted and the engine gains a Motiv down-pipe, a Magnaflow exhaust and a bespoke intercooler.

Vaccar

Vaccar's Edge interpretation uses a lot of prototype parts. These include the air suspension kit, rear strut bar, exhaust, engine intake and triple-gauge dashboard pod.

Also part of the specification are Alea leather upholstery, a set of 22” Rovos Pretoria wheels and Canfield Customs paintwork that incorporates flat metallic and brushed finishes.

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
