Alfa 8C exclusive newcomer

Few supercars this century have captured the public’s imagination like the awesome Alfa 8C Competizione. 

Just as the delivery schedule is being finalised on the 41 models destined for the UK, Alfa Romeo will unveil its stunning convertible version, the exquisite Alfa 8C Spider at next month’s Geneva motor show and just 500 will be built.

   
500 Abarth is hot newcomer

This is the first official picture of the new 500 Abarth – a high performance version of the Fiat 500 city car which went on sale in the UK last month.

The 500 Abarth will make its international public debut at the Geneva Motor Show in March and was developed by Fiat Group Automobiles Style Centre in the spirit of the legendary Fiat 500 Abarth of the 1960s with a Fire 1.4 16v petrol Turbo engine, which delivers a maximum of 135 bhp at 5,500 rpm, and peak torque of 206 Nm (152 lb.ft) at 3,000 rpm in ‘Sport’ mode.

Mazda is introducing 10 diesels and nine estates to complete the range of 25 versions of the Mazda6 in the UK.

The 10 diesel Mazda6 models will be priced from £15,620 and will be joined in March by the nine estates Mazda6 models with a £700 premium over their saloon equivalents. Five trim levels will be offered including a new sports luxury SL grade.

   
Red hot Peugeot 308

Peugeot will unveil two new 308 models at this year’s Geneva Motor Show, the innovative and practical 308 SW and the dynamic 308 GT THP 175.

This new top of the range petrol model will be powered by the 1.6 litre turbo-charged THP 175 bhp petrol engine, previously found in the 207 GTi THP 175 and will go on sale in the UK in April. In June, UK sales will start for the innovative and practical 308 SW, which will replace the 307 SW.
