2013 Zafira Tourer BiTurbo

Anybody wanting to transport seven people in a hurry is probably going to be rather interested in the new Vauxhall Zafira Tourer BiTurbo models.

Combining a 2.0 litre twin-turbo diesel engine, a six-speed manual transmission and the SRi, SE or Elite trim grades, they offer an appealing mix of performance and efficiency.

With 192 bhp (143 kW / 195 PS) and 400 Nm (295 lb/ft) of peak torque, the zero to 62 mph (100 km/h) sprint is achieved in just 8.5 seconds and the top speed is 135 mph (217 km/h). A 50.4 mpg (5.6 l/100km) combined cycle fuel consumption figure and carbon dioxide emissions of 149 g/km are equally impressive.

Available to order now, the Zafira Tourer SRi and SE BiTurbo are both priced at £27,685 on the road, while the range-topping Elite version costs £29,185. Deliveries are expected to begin in the spring.

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 .

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.
