Challenger Rallye Redline

Dodge has unveiled the special edition Challenger Rallye Redline.

Based on the 2012 Challenger SXT Plus, it features bonnet scoops, a rear boot spoiler and new 20” Pitch Black wheels shod with P245/45R20 Firestone Firehawk all-season performance tyres.

Paintwork choice is Pitch Black, Bright Silver Metallic, Tungsten Metallic or Bright White, all of which are complemented by the ‘Redline Red’ stripes that run the length of the car. For the interior, buyers can opt for either Dark Slate Gray or Radar Red leather upholstery.

Despite the sporty appearance, the Challenger Rallye Redline doesn’t come with a Hemi V8. Instead, it makes do with the slightly more efficient 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 which produces 305 bhp (227 kW / 309 PS) and 363 Nm (268 lb/ft) of torque.

Those outputs aren’t exactly lacking then, but to make sure acceleration is quicker than the standard version, Dodge has elected to fit the 3.06:1 rear axle ratio in place of the usual 2.65:1 item. The braking system has also been upgraded, with larger, ventilated discs all-round and dual-piston calipers up front.

For enhanced handling, the Super Sport Group equipment package is included as standard. This comprises thicker anti-roll bars front and rear, stiffer dampers and a more responsive steering rack.

Sales of the Challenger Rallye Redline begin this April. Its Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price in the United States is $28,745, plus a $925 destination charge.

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
