Mitsubishi launches the L200 Barbarian SVP II

Last year’s L200 Barbarian SVP limited edition must have been a success, because Mitsubishi has just announced the Barbarian SVP II. Created by the company’s Special Vehicle Projects team, the new model closely follows its predecessor’s formula.

Indeed, a very similar specification includes a bespoke front grille, 17” alloy wheels, BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres, arch extensions, side steps and load-bed illumination. The interior meanwhile benefits from leather and faux suede upholstery, unique floor mats, foot-well mood lighting and the Smartphone Link Display Audio system.

A striking colour scheme is what really differentiates the Barbarian SVP II. Available with either Diamond Black or Atlantic Grey paintwork, both options are complemented by numerous orange highlights (which certainly won’t be to everybody’s taste).

250 examples of the Barbarian SVP II will be built by Mitsubishi and prices start at £29,830 (excluding VAT). As usual, there’s a choice of six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmissions for the L200’s 2.4 litre, four-cylinder, turbocharged diesel engine.

Dealers are accepting orders now, ahead of the first deliveries in May.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
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
