Two Ram 1500 Sport packages launched

Ram has added the limited edition Ignition Orange Sport and Black Sport variants to its 1500 pick-up range.

Both so-called 'buzz' models come in crew cab form only. Their standard specifications include a 5.7 litre Hemi V8 engine and an eight-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, while four-wheel drive is optionally available.

As well as its bright orange paintwork, the 1500 Ignition Orange Sport is distinguished by a matte black bonnet decal. Inside, the same vivid shade is used for the seat inserts, stitching and embroidery.

Unsurprisingly the 1500 Black Sport features an all-black colour scheme that extends to the grille inserts and 20” wheels. It's a similar story for the interior, although some dark chrome trim attempts to alleviate the blackness.

In the United States, pricing for the Ram 1500 Sport Crew Cab starts from $42,215 (inclusive of a destination charge). Ordering either the Ignition Orange or Black packages will increase that figure by $1,595.

Production of each is being restricted to 1,000 examples.

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

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

Image
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.
