Three Commodore limited editions unveiled

Sadly, the current Holden Commodore will soon be replaced by a rebadged Vauxhall / Opel Insignia Grand Sport. So, to commemorate the rear-wheel drive model’s imminent passing, three special versions have been created.

The Motorsport Edition sedan and Magnum ute are both based on the existing SS-V trim grade, while the Director takes the Calais V as its starting point.

As well as a 6.2 litre LS3 V8, all three feature numerous cosmetic and performance enhancements.

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.
