Two Scion iA customs created for SEMA 2015

Scion asked a couple of its ‘lifestyle partners’ to modify the recently-launched iA sedan… and the results are certainly strange.

The first, designed by Skybound Entertainment, is inspired by Robert Kirkman’s Outcast comic book.

An orange, black and green colour scheme doesn’t look particularly different. However, this iA’s smoke, light and audio effects (plus various pneumatically-controlled moving components) are all intended to generate an illusion of demonic possession.

The second customised iA was conceived by Eddie Huang, who wrote ‘Fresh Off The Boat’. Apparently, it’s a tribute to “L.A. culture with a modern take on the classic lowrider”.

A two-tone metallic yellow and ‘root beer’ paintjob and a ‘human panda’ bonnet graphic are just the start. They’re joined by gold wire wheels, whitewall tyres and a unique gold-plated front grille.

Inside, swivelling front seats and a chain-link steering wheel complete the weirdness.

Both cars will be part of Scion’s presence at the upcoming Specialty Equipment Market Association show in Las Vegas.

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
