C Evolution electric scooter upgraded for 2017

BMW has announced some worthwhile changes for its C Evolution pure-electric scooter.

Key among them is the arrival of an improved lithium-ion battery pack, which sees capacity rise from 60 Ah to 94 Ah. Furthermore, two versions of the C Evolution are now being offered.

The C Evolution European, unsurprisingly, will only be available in Europe. Riders with A1 category driving licences are the main target audience.

Alternatively, the C Evolution Long Range boasts extra power and performance and, as that name suggests, more range. BMW plans to sell this model in China, Japan, Russia, South Korea and the United States, as well as most major European markets.

‘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.

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.
