Hyundai i30 Fastback N revealed

Following last year’s launch of the i30 N five-door hatchback, Hyundai has created a Fastback five-door coupé version.

The technical specifications of both models are essentially identical. Accordingly, the i30 Fastback N uses a 2.0 litre turbocharged petrol engine which sends 246 bhp (184 kW / 250 PS) plus 353 Nm (260 lb/ft) of peak torque via a six-speed manual transmission. The 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 6.4 seconds and the car’s top speed is 155 mph (250 km/h).

To satisfy customers who require even more pace, Hyundai is also offering the Performance Package. This increases output to 271 bhp (202 kW / 275 PS), thereby lowering the 0-62 mph time to just 6.1 seconds.

Visually, the i30 Fastback N can be identified by its unique grille, redesigned bumpers, larger wheels, tailgate spoiler and dual exhaust pipes. Front sports seats, metal pedals and a special N steering wheel augment the interior, while red stitching provides some contrast in an otherwise very grey environment.

UK prices have 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 ...
