2019 Honda NSX announced

Unless the owner has opted for the newly-available Thermal Orange Pearlescent paintwork, then identifying a 2019 NSX might be tricky. Indeed, the main visual difference compared to its predecessor concerns the front grille’s upper bar, which is now body-coloured rather than chrome.

However, changes beneath the skin are more significant.

Honda NSX (2019) Front Side

To improve driving dynamics and responsiveness, thicker anti-roll bars, stiffer rear bushings and recalibrated magnetorheological dampers have been fitted. In addition, a switch to specially-developed Continental SportContact 6 tyres means that grip should be better in both wet and dry conditions.

Powertrain alterations are limited to modified fuel injectors, the installation of a particulate filter and a software update for the hybrid system. Honda hasn’t mentioned any output or torque increases, so the figures are probably still 573 bhp (427 kW / 581 PS) and 645 Nm (476 lb/ft) respectively.

UK deliveries of the 2019 NSX are due to commence early next year.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine.

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
