BMW unveils the C 400 GT scooter

A year after the C 400 X was launched, BMW is introducing a second mid-size scooter. The new C 400 GT has been designed to provide better weather protection and extra comfort.

Both models share the same tubular steel frame, 34 bhp (25 kW / 34 PS) 350 cc engine and continuously-variable transmission. Consequently, the C 400 GT’s main differentiator is its unique styling.

A much more attractive front fairing incorporates twin LED headlights and a higher windscreen. Another distinctive feature is the one-piece saddle, which has a separate rider backrest. Pillion passengers get to rest their feet on boards rather than basic pegs.

The standard specification also includes Keyless Ride, Automatic Stability Control and an anti-lock system for the disc brakes. A 6.5” TFT multifunctional instrument display is among the available options.

UK prices for the C 400 GT start at £7,050. By comparison, the C 400 X and the C 400 X SE currently cost from £6,200 and £6,985 respectively.

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
