2017 Abarth 595 Trofeo UK prices announced

Abarth has confirmed specifications and pricing for its new 595 Trofeo, which arrives at UK dealers later this month.

Power is provided by a 1.4 litre TJet turbocharged petrol engine that comes with a four-tailpipe Record Monza exhaust. Output is rated at 158 bhp (118 kW / 160 PS), plus 230 Nm (170 lb/ft) of peak torque is available in Sport mode.

Those figures mean the 595 Trofeo can accelerate from standstill to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 7.3 seconds, before maxing out at 135 mph (217 km/h).

Efficiency doesn’t seem too bad either, as 47.1 mpg (6.0 l/100km) and CO2 emissions of 139 g/km have been recorded on the official combined cycle. That’s despite having to make do with just a five-speed manual gearbox.

In hatchback guise, the 2017 595 Trofeo costs from £17,290. Alternatively, the convertible version is £2,000 more expensive.

The standard specification includes 17” matt black ‘Formula’ alloy wheels, shock absorbers with Frequency Selective Damping valves, a Uconnect touchscreen-controlled infotainment system, black fabric upholstery and Abarth Red paintwork.

Four other exterior finishes are being offered. However, Campovolo Grey and Gara White are £350 options, while Scorpione Black and Record Grey each add £500 to the invoice.

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 ...
