All-new Honda Forza 125 scooter revealed

Honda says its 2015 Forza 125 is aimed at those people who want a bit more performance and practicality from their scooter.

Built around a steel frame, the newcomer is powered by a single-cylinder, fuel-injected, four-valve, 124.9 cc engine that produces 14.0 bhp (10.5 kW / 14.2 PS) with 12 Nm (8 lb/ft) of torque. It comes connected to a continuously-variable automatic transmission and has been tuned to deliver strong acceleration right across the rev range.

Economy hasn’t been forgotten, though. Thanks to fuel-saving measures such as a stop-start system and low-friction internals, the Forza 125 achieves a very respectable 122.8 mpg (2.3 l/100km / 43.5 km/l) according to the World Motorcycle Test Cycle measure.

Fitted as standard are cast aluminium wheels, anti-lock brakes with discs front and rear, full LED lights, a 12V socket in the glovebox and an adjustable windscreen. Among the available accessories are heated grips and a top box.

UK deliveries are expected to begin around the middle of next year. Buyers here will have a choice of Pearl Nightstar Black with Castagna Brown, Moondust Silver with Matt Cynos Grey or Matt Pearl Cool White with Matt Pacific Blue paintjobs. Two additional options – Matt Cynos Grey Metallic and Matt Pearl Cool White with Black – are going to be offered in other markets.

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 ...
