Durango Special Service

Dodge has launched the Durango Special Service SUV, which is aimed at law enforcement agencies, fire departments and other government fleet users.

To ensure that it can cope with heavy duty use, the Durango features numerous upgraded components including the braking system, engine oil cooler, water pump, alternator and battery.

There are a few changes to the interior too, but these are mainly to increase equipment carrying capacity. The third row of seats is deleted, for example, and extra storage compartments have been provided both underneath and to the sides of  the main cargo loadspace.

One thing that’s identical to the regular Durango is the powertrain choice, meaning users will get to specify either the 290 bhp (216 kW / 294 PS) 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 or the 360 bhp (268 kW / 365 PS) 5.7 litre Hemi V8. Both options are available with rear- or all-wheel drive.

Deliveries are due to start soon, and the Durango joins the Charger Pursuit saloon and Ram 1500 pick-up in the Special Service line-up.

Hence the concept of regeneration by substituting ancient components with fresh replacements. Handling, brakes and reliability are all dramatically improved, while the outward appearance remains unmolested. Various models have received this treatment in recent years, including numerous Jaguars and even the Shelby G.T.500CR . Now it’s the turn of the Jensen Interceptor, a car originally built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. Jensen International Automotive , based in Thame, Oxfordshire, has just delivered the first of its Interceptor R models. And, with an annual production figure of 18 cars, it’s a product that will be very exclusive. In a process lasting around five months, each Interceptor R is totally rebuilt from a suitable donor car.
