The Ford Maverick at SEMA 2021

This year will see the first appearance of the Ford Maverick at the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show. Ford is going to display three modified versions of the compact pick-up truck, with each following a distinctly different theme.

The first is by Air Design USA. Based on a Lariat SuperCrew FX4, it features 18” wheels, 31” all-terrain tyres and a 1.5” suspension lift kit.

In addition to a glazed cargo bed hard top, the specification includes protective mouldings for the sills and wheel arches. Rear under-seat storage bins and a portable refrigerator can be found in the cab.

As part of the Drag Racing Against Gangs and Graffiti (DRAGG) initiative, Oxnard Union High School and the Oxnard Police Department have created a beach rescue concept vehicle.

A unique livery is combined with wheel arch extensions, a roof-mounted light bar, and a cargo bed hard top. Inside, Coverking Neosupreme covers are fitted to the front seats.

Last but not least is a motorsport-inspired Maverick designed by Tucci Hot Rods. In what is likely to become a growing trend, its front splitter, wheel arch extensions and rear spoiler were all made using 3D printing.

Low-riding coil-over suspension, custom wheels, a hard roll-up cargo bed cover, four Recaro Sportster seats and racing harnesses are among the other enhancements. Perhaps surprisingly, the 2.0-litre EcoBoost engine appears to have been left standard (apart from a Borla cat-back exhaust upgrade).

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 ...
