Mini introduces eight Seven special editions

Consider anybody who buys a Mini Seven to be either a squanderer of cash or a mug. Sure, this limited edition boasts a unique and very tasteful colour scheme, but the premiums being charged are exorbitant.

Incredibly, the Cooper and Cooper D versions cost £3,060 more than the regular models which they're based on. The equivalent figure for the Cooper S and Cooper SD is £2,340.

So what does that extra outlay get?

On the outside, the Seven features Lapisluxury Blue paintwork with a contrasting Melting Silver finish on the roof and door mirror caps. Midnight Black, British Racing Green and Pepper White are available as alternatives for those customers who (inexplicably) might want their cars to look like any other Mini.

Door sill kickplates and side scuttle panels with 'Seven' logos on them are fitted, plus bespoke 17” alloy wheels are part of the specification too.

Front sports seats and part-leather upholstery enhance the interior. Malt Brown stitching matches the dashboard knee rolls and door armrests, while the trim pieces are Piano Black.

The Mini Seven is available to order now. If the basic invoice amount doesn't seem quite high enough, then it can be increased by the optional Seven Chili pack. This includes LED headlights, full leather, a Nappa-leather-covered multi-function steering wheel and cruise control.

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 ...
