A splash of orange for the GLE Coupé

Think of the new Mercedes-Benz GLE Coupé OrangeArt Edition as a couple of option packs that can be ordered either separately or in combination.

The first, which takes care of the exterior, features subtle orange accents above the front splitter and around the gloss black 21” AMG wheels. The AMG Line appearance upgrade is also included.

Paintwork choice is restricted to Black, Obsidian Black, Selenite Grey, Iridium Silver, Designo Diamond White Bright or Polar White. Unfortunately, an orange shade isn't being offered.

The second focusses on the interior, where the highlight is unique black nappa leather and Dinamica microfibre upholstery with orange piping and grey stitching.

Front sports seats, stainless steel pedals, a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and aluminium cabin trim pieces are all fitted as standard, too.

With deliveries due to begin in August, the OrangeArt Edition external and internal enhancements cost €4,165 and €2,618 respectively in Germany for the GLE 350 d 4Matic Coupé, GLE 400 4Matic Coupé and GLE 500 4Matic Coupé.

Those amounts change to €715 and €2,439 if the base vehicle is a Mercedes-AMG GLE 43 4Matic Coupé.

OrangeArt Edition availability in the UK has yet to be confirmed.

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 ...
