2014 Chevrolet Camaro UK prices

Chevrolet has announced UK pricing for its facelifted 2014 Camaro.

In coupé guise it’ll cost from £35,320 with a six-speed manual transmission, while the convertible is an extra £5,000. Given the Chevrolet comes equipped with a 6.2 litre V8 engine developing 426 bhp (318 kW / 432 PS), that’s a lot of horsepower per £.

Of course, some UK buyers will be put off because the Camaro is left-hand drive only, but perhaps that factor just helps to make it even more unique? Indeed, there aren’t really any direct competitors.

A similar outlay could buy a selection of coupés of course, including the £35,445 Mercedes-Benz C 250 Coupé AMG Sport Plus with its 201 bhp (150 kW / 204 PS), the £35,905 Audi TTS Coupé that boasts 268 bhp (200 kW / 272 PS) and the £36,995 Nissan 370Z Nismo which has an output of 339 bhp (253 kW / 344 PS). However, all three have a very different flavour compared to their American rival.

The 2014 Camaro was unveiled at the New York International Auto Show earlier this year. Styling changes include a shallower front grille, a wider lower air intake, new horizontal rear light clusters and a restyled rear bumper that now incorporates a diffuser. The result is improved cooling, better high speed stability and a wider, more purposeful stance.

Deliveries of the 2014 Chevrolet Camaro are due to begin this November.

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
