Toyota commemorates fifty years of the Hilux

Toyota has unveiled the Hilux Invincible 50, a limited edition that celebrates the ubiquitous pick-up’s fiftieth birthday. Significantly, it has been created in collaboration with Arctic Trucks, so the enhancements aren’t merely cosmetic.

Modifications include an upgraded Bilstein suspension set-up. In addition, bespoke 16” satin black alloy wheels shod with 265/75R16 BF Goodrich KO2 all-terrain tyres sit beneath extended arches.

Another notable feature is a double-hoop sports bar, which incidentally serves as the mounting point for four very bright LED spotlights. Black paintwork, rear parking sensors, a bed liner, a numbered plaque on the centre console and numerous special badges complete the specification.

Power is provided by the usual 2.4 litre turbocharged diesel engine. In the absence of a manual gearbox alternative, its 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) and 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) of peak torque are delivered via a six-speed automatic transmission.

Only fifty examples of the Hilux Invincible 50 are going to be offered in the UK. Toyota dealers will begin accepting orders on the 1st of November, but a price has yet to be confirmed.

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
