Ninja ZX-10R World Champion Edition

To celebrate Tom Sykes winning the 2013 FIM Superbike World Championship on his Ninja ZX-10R race bike, Kawasaki UK has created a street-legal tribute.

It’s called the World Champion Edition and production is going to be limited to just 25 units. Distinguishing them from the regular Ninja ZX-10R are a Leo Vince Evo II exhaust system, Kawasaki Racing Team graphics, a tank pad and a commemorative plaque.

A spare airbox cover signed by Tom Sykes and a letter of authentication complete the package.

All of the ZX-10R World Champion Edition specials will come without anti-lock brakes. Available to order now, the price has been set at £12,749. That amount represents a premium of £550 over the standard model, which isn’t bad value considering the extra specification.

‘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. The body shell is stripped back to bare metal before it

Ford launches Fiesta Metal

Image
The hot ST should hopefully be arriving in showrooms soon but, until that happens, the quickest Fiesta available will be the just-announced Metal special edition. Based on the existing three-door Zetec S, it comes complete with Ford’s Tuning Pack that lifts the 1.6 litre Duratec engine’s power by 13 bhp (8 kW / 14 PS) to 132 bhp (96 kW / 134 PS). Although top speed is virtually unchanged at 121 mph (195 km/h), the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) acceleration time is slashed from 9.9 to 8.7 seconds. To go with the extra performance, the looks have been spruced up too. There are 17” black alloy wheels, twin chrome exhausts and a silver finish at the front for the aerofoil, grille surround and fog light bezels. Paintwork choice comprises Frozen White, Midnight Sky Metallic or Panther Black Metallic. The interior hasn’t been ignored, either. It gets Ebony Black leather sports seats, Piano Black trim, stainless steel door scuff plates and unique floor mats. Only 1,000 examples of the Ford F
