Triumph range refreshed

This month sees the introduction of a few cosmetic tweaks across Triumph’s motorcycle range.

The £6,699 Bonneville SE gains restyled engine cooling fins, a tank badge in place of the previous logo and the option of an Imperial Purple / White colour scheme.

Two other bikes from the classic family also get new paintwork choices. For the Thruxton it’s Brooklands Green, while the Scrambler is now available in Matt Graphite. Both cost £7,099.

Updates to the America and Speedmaster cruisers include a different finish for the engine cooling fins and a more discreet oil pipe cooler. Buyers can now order the former in Sapphire Blue / White and the latter in Matt Black or Sapphire Blue / Jet Black.

A new addition to the Thunderbird cruiser colour palette is Caspian Blue / Phantom Black and, as with all two-tone paint finishes for this model, the treatment now extends to the front mudguard. Meanwhile, a Matt Graphite paint option has been made available for the Thunderbird Storm.

Improvements to the Daytona 675 comprise a quickshifter and billet levers, as well as a carbon fibre finish for the exhaust heat shield, cockpit surrounds and front mudguard. The £8,875 sports bike is now also offered in a vivid Sulphur Yellow paint finish, and this comes with matching pin striping around the wheels.

Last but not least, the £8,999 Speed Triple roadster gets the same Sulphur Yellow colour option, but no other changes.

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 ...
