Toyota introduces the GT86 Orange Edition

Over the coming months, Toyota will be launching a collection of GT86 special editions under the 'Club Series' banner. The first, named Orange Edition after its striking Solar Orange paintwork, is available now.

Some visual contrast is provided by an Anthracite finish for the 17” ten-spoke alloy wheels, plus the door mirror caps and rear spoiler are black instead of being body-coloured.

Apart from the addition of orange stitching, the interior specification replicates that of the existing Pro trim grade. Therefore, the seats boast black leather and Alcantara upholstery, while the door cards and dashboard panel are covered in black suede. Front-seat heating, cruise control and the Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system are also fitted as standard.

Despite a lack of extra equipment, the Orange Edition costs £795 more than the Pro version. Such a high premium for a different colour scheme is hard to fathom.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

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
