Mustang Performance Pack Level 2 launched

Ford has introduced the Performance Pack Level 2 option, which is available to order now for the 2018 Mustang GT.

It's recognisable by a prominent front splitter, a comparatively understated rear spoiler and unique 19” 'Dark Tarnish' ten-spoke wheels shod with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.

Not all of the changes are immediately obvious, though. For instance, a revised suspension set-up benefits from specially-tuned MagneRide dampers, stiffer springs and more rigid anti-roll bars. A lower ride height and sharper handling are the results.

Performance Pack Level 2 incorporates all of the Level 1 components too. They include a Torsen rear differential with a 3.73 axle ratio, bigger front brake discs with Brembo six-piston calipers, a larger radiator and a strut tower brace. In addition, Level 1 also involves recalibrating the stability control, electric power steering and anti-lock braking systems.

Deliveries are due to begin in North America next spring, but only cars equipped with a manual transmission can have the Performance Pack Level 2 fitted.

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
