2022 Ford GT Heritage Edition revealed

In 1964, Ford Advanced Vehicles built five initial prototypes that became the foundation of its GT40 project. GT/101 and GT/102 were involved in crashes and subsequently scrapped, while GT/103 and GT/104 both completed racing careers before ending up at the Shelby Museum in Boulder, Colorado.

GT/105 – the third survivor and the only one which has kept its original livery – is the inspiration for Ford’s latest GT Heritage Edition.

The aptly-named 2022 GT '64 Prototype Heritage Edition features Wimbledon White paintwork with a contrasting Antimatter Blue finish for the stripes, graphics and 20” carbon fibre wheels. There are numerous exposed carbon fibre bodywork elements, too.

“Approved Ford GT customers” can place their '64 Prototype Heritage Edition orders now. However, they’ll have to wait a while for delivery, because production isn’t due to start until January 2022.

American spec Fiat 500

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

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...
