Ford GT '67 Heritage Edition announced

Last year's GT '66 Heritage Edition celebrated Ford's outright win in the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans, so it's only fitting that 1967's victory is similarly honoured.

The new GT '67 Heritage Edition evokes the GT40 Mk. IV driven by Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt to first place at the Circuit de la Sarthe. Accordingly, the car's colour scheme comprises Race Red gloss paintwork with white stripes and graphics.

Also adding to the special look are silver door mirror caps, red brake calipers and a silver satin clearcoat finish for the 20” forged alloy wheels.

Inside, the seatbelts and contrast stitching are red, while matte carbon fibre covers the door sills and centre console.

Although an exact production volume hasn't been disclosed, Ford is saying that “limited quantities” of the GT '67 Heritage Edition are going to be available. To underline their exclusivity, each example will come with a numbered plaque.

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
