Nugget Active and Trail camper vans launched

Some more variants are joining the Ford Transit Custom Nugget range. Both the regular Nugget and long-wheelbase Nugget Plus campers will soon be additionally offered in Active and Trail guises.

The Nugget Active features 17” alloy wheels, protective body cladding and a side-mounted roll-out awning. Inside, the layout’s unchanged, but black worktops, satin-finish furniture units and pale wood flooring create a unique ambience.

The Nugget Trail is recognisable by its 16” alloy wheels, body cladding, bold matte black front grille, black leather upholstery and a darker dining table. This version also benefits from a mechanical limited-slip differential (mLSD), so driving across slippery surfaces should be easier.

Standard equipment on all of the new models includes an elevating roof and a Dometic touchscreen. The latter – which is attached to the wardrobe – monitors and controls various habitation functions such as the heating, boiler, water tank levels, interior lights and battery state. Appearing on the options list for the first time is an innovative heated rear bench seat.

Power is provided by the familiar 2.0-litre EcoBlue diesel engine that’s mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. Anybody ordering a Nugget Active can pay extra for a six-speed automatic transmission instead. Alternatively, if they stick with the manual, then the mLSD is available to them.

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 ...
