Continental GT edition celebrates Pikes Peak

Back in June, a Bentley Continental GT driven by Rhys Millen set a new production car record at the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado. Now, to commemorate that event, a limited edition has been created.

Based on the 626 bhp (467 kW / 635 PS) W12-powered coupé, its special specification includes 22” Mulliner Driving Specification wheels and a carbon fibre body kit.

Striking ‘Radium by Mulliner’ paintwork is complemented by Acid Green brake calipers, discrete Pikes Peak badges and a gloss black finish for the front bumper inserts, door mirror caps, roof and rear panel. Sensibly, a ‘100’ grille graphic in honour of the brand’s centenary is optional.

Inside, Radium stitching and headrest embroidery provides some contrast to the Alcantara upholstery. Among the other unique components is a carbon fibre dashboard strip that features a visual depiction of the Pikes Peak course.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
