Lotus Evora Sports Racer

Lotus has launched the Evora Sports Racer, which has been designed to combine a plethora of equipment with an attractive price tag.

It certainly seems that just about all of the options on the list have been ticked. Fitted as standard are powered folding door mirrors, a reversing camera and 2+2 seating that’s covered in black leather with red piping and stitching.

Also part of the specification is the Tech Pack, which adds Bluetooth connectivity, an upgraded touchscreen-controlled audio system and DVD player, rear parking sensors, cruise control and tyre pressure monitoring. Furthermore the Sports Pack is included too, and it consists of cross-drilled brake discs, a sports rear diffuser and a sports driving mode that sharpens both the Dynamic Performance Management system and the throttle response.

Available in a choice of four colours, the Sports Racer features a contrasting gloss black finish for the wheels, roof panel, side sills, front splitter and rear diffuser.

In the UK, the 276 bhp (206 kW / 280 PS) normally-aspirated Evora Sports Racer costs £57,900 (excluding on the road charges), while in 345 bhp (257 kW / 350 PS) supercharged guise the price tag is £65,900. Compared to ordering everything separately, Lotus reckons that those amounts represent customer savings of £6,450 and £7,150 respectively.

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

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.
