A Jeep Wrangler for Carabinieri beach patrols

Just in time for the peak holiday season, Italy’s Carabinieri has taken delivery of a Jeep Wrangler that will be deployed along the Romagna Riviera.


A key part of the vehicle’s specification is the Mopar One Pack. Intended to improve off-road ability, it includes 17” Performance Gladiator alloy wheels, 32” all-terrain tyres, a front steering stabiliser and a Fox Performance 2” lift kit.


Power comes from a 2.8 litre turbo-diesel engine that’s mated to an automatic transmission and, of course, a four-wheel drive system.

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.
