BMW introduces three more R 1250 models

Following the recent launches of the R 1250 GS and R 1250 RT, BMW has installed its latest twin-cylinder boxer engine in three other motorcycles. They are the naked R 1250 R, the sporty R 1250 RS and the tough R 1250 GS Adventure.

The début of BMW ShiftCam Technology (which varies the valve timing and valve stroke) plus a capacity increase from 1,170 cc to 1,254 cc bring various benefits. For example, power is up by 11 bhp (8 kW / 11 PS) to 134 bhp (100 kW / 136 PS) at 7,750 rpm, while peak torque becomes 143 Nm (105 lb/ft) at 6,250 rpm.

Standard equipment on all of these bikes is fairly generous. The list includes Automatic Stability Control, a couple of riding modes, Hill Start Control and a 6.5” colour TFT display instead of conventional instruments.

UK starting prices are:
  • R 1250 R – £11,215
  • R 1250 RS – £12,100
  • R 1250 GS Adventure – £14,415
However, if customers are tempted by the myriad cost options and accessories being offered, then they could end up paying considerably higher amounts.

Dynamic Electronic Suspension Adjustment and Riding Modes Pro are among the available extras. The latter is a rider aids package that consists of Dynamic Traction Control, ABS Pro, Dynamic Brake Control, Hill Start Control Pro and two additional mode settings.

Dealers are accepting orders now.

Saab 9-3 Aero Carlsson

Image
Saab has got experience of producing special editions in honour of rally driver Erik Carlsson, having previously named versions of the 900 and 9000 after him during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Now it has decided to do it again, this time to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Swedish driver’s first win in Britain’s RAC Rally, which was achieved at the wheel of a Saab 96. Thankfully, the company has resisted the urge to just bung some fancy alloys and a few other extra bits onto something like a mid-range diesel model. Instead, it appears to have resurrected the limited edition Turbo X from a couple of years ago, as the new edition similarly features a turbocharged 2.8 litre petrol V6, Saab’s XWD all-wheel drive system and a six-speed automatic gearbox. The result is the 9-3 Aero Carlsson saloon, which turns out to be a very rapid car. With 276 bhp (205 kW / 280 PS) and a healthy 400 Nm of torque, the 0-60 mph (96 km/h) dash takes just 6.9 seconds. But it’s in the mid-range t...

American spec Fiat 500

Image
Fiat has released the first details and images of the North American specification 500. The tiny city car will be available in Pop, Lounge and Sport trim levels, and is distinguished from the European version by its more aggressive front and rear bumpers, bigger grille and flared sills. Another unique feature is the engine. Fiat has decided to use the 1.4 MultiAir unit currently found in models such as the Fiat Punto Evo and Alfa Romeo MiTo. Perhaps it felt that using the forthcoming two-cylinder TwinAir in the American 500 would have been too much for markets there to take? There’s no word yet on what power output the MultiAir will have, although in its current applications it comes with either 103 bhp (77 kW / 105 PS), 133 bhp (99 kW / 135 PS) or 167 bhp (125 kW / 170 PS). Similarly, prices have yet to be confirmed, but hopefully both details will have been sorted out by the time the order book for the 500 hatch opens later this year. For convertible fans, the 500C is due ...
