Chevrolet Camaro GT4.R pricing confirmed

Customer motorsport teams that are planning to run a Camaro GT4.R next season can now place an order to buy one.

The conversion to GT4-specification race car is carried out by Michigan-based Pratt and Miller Engineering on behalf of Chevrolet. As well as the installation of mandatory FIA-approved safety equipment, there are plenty of other modifications.

They start with the body. It gains numerous carbon fibre components including a front splitter, front diveplanes, an adjustable rear wing and replacement doors. 18” Forgeline alloy wheels and an Öhlins suspension set-up form part of the package too.

Strict regulations mean changes to the 6.2 litre LT1 V8 engine have to be fairly limited. Nevertheless, dry-sump lubrication, a recalibrated Bosch ECU and a bespoke carbon fibre air intake are among the upgrades.

Output, which is rated at up to 480 bhp (358 kW / 486 PS), gets delivered via an Xtrac six-speed sequential transmission and a Salisbury-type rear differential.

Each Camaro GT4.R costs $259,000 (plus taxes) in the United States. That figure equates to roughly £193,200 or €220,300 at current exchange rates.

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
