2017 Ram 1500 Night edition announced

As every auto manufacturer seems to know, the quickest and simplest way to create a 'special' version of an existing model is to blacken various components.

That's the approach taken by Ram for the new 1500 Night pick-up. Based on the existing 1500 Sport, its 20” wheels, front grille, light bezels and badges have all received a black finish.

Opting for Brilliant Black paintwork would create a completely monochrome look. Alternatively, Granite Crystal Metallic, Flame Red, Bright Silver Metallic or Bright White colours are also available for anybody who wants some contrast.

Inside the cab – which can be ordered in regular, quad or crew guises – standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, plus the pedals and heated front seats are power-adjustable.

Like the 1500 Sport, the 1500 Night comes with either a 305 bhp (227 kW / 309 PS) 3.6 litre Pentastar V6 or a 395 bhp (295 kW / 400 PS) 5.7 litre Hemi V8 engine. Furthermore, there's a choice of rear- or four-wheel drive.

Production of the 2017 Ram 1500 Night is due to begin next month. Prices haven't been confirmed yet, though.

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