Isuzu introduces the D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35

Isuzu's latest pick-up should be ideal for anybody planning (or, probably more accurately, fantasising about) a trip across frozen tundra.

As its name indicates, the new D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 has been developed in conjunction with the Icelandic firm renowned for extreme off-road conversions. Indeed, this is the first time that an Arctic Trucks vehicle is being made available through a UK franchised dealer network.

The modifications begin with some larger 17” x 10” alloy wheels. Sitting beneath wider wheel arch flares, they wear all-terrain Nokian Rotiiva AT tyres that have an overall diameter of 35”.

A revamped suspension set-up incorporates Fox Performance Series dampers. As well as an increased ground clearance figure of 290 mm (11.4”), this results in approach, ramp and departure angles of 36.0°, 32.0° and 23.0° respectively.

Isuzu is offering extended-cab and double-cab versions of the D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35.

Both feature the usual 2.5 litre four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine, which delivers 160 bhp (120 kW / 163 PS) to an on-demand all-wheel drive system via either a six-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed automatic transmission.

Standard equipment includes cruise control, a six-speaker audio player, electric windows, a cargo-box liner and a chrome finish for the front grille, door mirror caps and rear bumper.

Furthermore, double-cab models come with climate control, leather upholstery, heated front seats, roof bars and rear parking sensors.

Customers will also be tempted by numerous Arctic Trucks accessories. Among them are a sports bar, skid plates, auxiliary LED lights and the Truxedo load-space cover.

Orders can be placed from the 25th of this month.

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 ...

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...
