P101 marks the end of the Morgan 3 Wheeler

Morgan has confirmed that production of the current-generation 3 Wheeler will cease next year. To commemorate its demise, a limited edition called P101 has been created. 101 was the number of the project responsible for the reintroduction of a three-wheeled model over a decade ago, so the name is certainly apt.

The P101 – which is available with either Deep Black or Satin White Silver paintwork – boasts several unique features. Among them are a pair of auxiliary spot lamps, straight-cut ceramic-coated exhaust pipes (black on one side, white on the other), additional louvres, and low-drag body-coloured Aero-disc wheels.

Also fitted is a lightweight tonneau cover over the passenger seat. Being made from composite resin, this component is both naturally golden and translucent.

Morgan has designed a selection of four graphics packs to complete the P101’s special look: ‘Aviator’ is inspired by RAF aeroplanes of World War II, ‘Belly Tank’ pays homage to the home-made drop-tank-based cars first seen in the late 1940s at the Bonneville Salt Flats, ‘Dazzleship’ (shown in the images) evokes the conspicuous camouflage used on many ships and some aircraft during World War I, and ‘Race Car’ recalls the brand’s motorsport history.

Just 33 examples of the P101 are going to be built, and all have already been allocated to dealers in the UK, Europe and the USA.

Prices start from £45,000 (roughly €50,400 or US$59,800 at current exchange rates) excluding local taxes and on-the-road costs.

The 3 Wheeler story isn’t over though, because a completely new version is due to be launched sometime after 2021.

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 ...
