Fiat’s new super-fuel efficient petrol 500 TwinAir model has found a new fan in the form of actor and former Strictly Come Dancing champion Tom Chambers.
The actor is celebrating the opening of his new stage spectacular White Christmas The Musical, with the delivery of his very own Fiat 500 TwinAir. The newly released and already award winning 500 TwinAir features a technologically advanced low consumption 875cc two-cylinder engine, the cleanest quantity production petrol engine in the world.
Weighing just 85kg, and with emissions from 95g/km of CO2, this ground-breaking engine builds on its Italian car makers successful MultiAir technology. With 85bhp, the TwinAir is not just clean, it is among the most powerful mainstream A segment vehicles on sale. And with its 145Nm of torque at a relatively low 1900rpm, it remains responsive and fun-to-drive engine yet delivers up to 70.6 mpg (on a combined cycle).
It is this performance and fuel efficiency that appealed to the ex-Holby City star as he begins a six-week run in the festive musical at the Sunderland Empire.
“My job as an actor takes me all over the country, just as White Christmas has, so it’s important I have a car that can get me where I need to be safely, reliably and economically,” says Tom. “It’s well-known that I love the Fiat 500, and I’m particularly excited about having this latest model with the new TwinAir engine.
Tom has been driving Fiat 500s since Christmas 2008, and also owns an original 1965 model. He should find his new TwinAir’s 85bhp, 875cc engine, with lively acceleration and superb fuel economy, useful on his journey to the busy city’s theatre each day.
Road tax and London congestion charge exempt, the new 500 TwinAir range starts at £10,665 (OTR) for the TwinAir Pop and rises to £16,065 (OTR) for the convertible 500C TwinAir byDIESEL.
