Audi Exclusive RS 7 Dynamic Edition

Audi has launched the Exclusive RS 7 Dynamic Edition in the United States. Unveiled at the New York International Auto Show, it’s intended to be a showcase of what’s available via the brand’s Exclusive programme.

One of those things is apparently a hefty price tag, because the Exclusive RS 7 Dynamic Edition is going to cost an astonishing $146,045 (including destination and delivery charges). By comparison, the regular RS 7 is available from $104,900.

But that premium doesn’t bring any extra performance. Power still comes from a 4.0 litre, twin-turbo, V8 engine which is rated at 552 bhp (412 kW / 560 PS), enough for a 0-60 mph (96 km/h) time of 3.7 seconds and a 174 mph (280 km/h) top speed.

What the additional cash does buy is the DRC three-stage adjustable damper system, larger 21” wheels and a sports exhaust. Also fitted are a carbon fibre front splitter, rear diffuser and engine cover. The brake calipers have been painted red, while on the inside red is also used for the seatbelts and upholstery stitching.

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
