2017 Ford F-Series Super Duty first view

Thanks to aluminium-alloy bodywork and a high-strength steel chassis, Ford says the all-new 2017 F-Series Super Duty is up to 158 kg (350 lbs) lighter than its predecessor. Obviously, that kind of diet benefits both payload and towing capabilities.

When sales begin late next year, customers will have a choice of five trim grades offered in Regular Cab, SuperCab or Crew Cab configurations.

Buyer decisions won’t stop there, though. That’s because the engine line-up comprises 6.2 litre V8 gasoline and 6.7 litre V8 diesel units, with a 6.8 litre V10 gasoline motor augmenting the selection for chassis-cab variants.

In terms of available equipment, technology and gadgets seem to have been a primary focus.

As well as a touchscreen-controlled Sync 3 infotainment system, the list includes LED headlamps and taillights, 360° cameras, a high-mounted cargo box camera, adaptive cruise control, tyre pressure monitoring and a radar-based blind spot warning device that knows when a trailer is being towed.

Final specifications and prices for the 2017 F-Series Super Duty have yet to be announced.

‘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.
