2013 Mazda 6 revealed

Following some teaser shots that were released back in July, Mazda has unveiled its new 6 saloon at the Moscow Motor Show.

It’s a model that has a history of looking just that bit sleeker than its competitors, and the tradition seems set to continue with the latest generation, which follows Mazda’s Kodo ‘Soul of Motion’ design language.

However, the finished article isn’t too much of a surprise because, as expected, it’s essentially a production version of last year’s Takeri concept.

For the Russian market 2.0 litre and 2.5 litre petrol engines will be offered, although it’s expected that an all-new 2.2 litre diesel motor will account for the majority of sales in the UK.

Fuel saving measures feature heavily and, as well as the ‘i-stop’ stop-start facility, the 6 will see the debut of Mazda’s innovative ‘i-Eloop’ brake energy regeneration technology. Unlike similar systems from other manufacturers that only begin working when the brake pedal is pressed, ‘i-Eloop’ begins charging a capacitor as soon as the driver lifts off the accelerator.

There’s something very retro-chic about using a classic car as a daily driver, but it’s an activity that comes with the permanent risk that aged mechanicals might expire at any time. 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.
