2015 Corvette Atlantic and Pacific packages

Two Corvette Stingray design packages that were originally revealed as concepts at last year’s SEMA Show are now going to enter production.

The first, called Atlantic, is available for 2LT and 3LT convertible models equipped with the Z51 performance pack. Its bodywork tweaks comprise chrome ‘Torque’ wheels, an extended front splitter and a Shark Gray finish for the vents and bonnet centre section. Also included in the specification are a custom luggage set and an under-hood liner.

Alternatively, the Pacific is based on the Corvette Stingray coupé. Like the Atlantic, it’s being offered only with the 2LT and 3LT trim grades, plus buyers must order the Z51 option. On the inside, sports seats are fitted along with some special floor mats and carbon fibre trim pieces.

There’s plenty of visible carbon fibre on the outside too, as it’s used for the front splitter, side skirts, rear spoiler, roof panel and door mirror caps. Completing the look are satin black wheels, red brake calipers and satin black graphics that are complemented by a choice of Black, Shark Gray, Torch Red, Blade Silver or Arctic White paintwork.

Sales of the 2015 Corvette Stingray Atlantic and Pacific will begin later this year.

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
