Dart GTS 210 Tribute

February’s Chicago Auto Show will see the unveiling of the GTS 210 Tribute, Mopar’s take on the 2013 Dodge Dart.

Making the most of the Dart’s Alfa Romeo underpinnings, it features two modification packages to create an overtly sporty version of the new compact.

The first focuses on extracting more power from the 2.4 litre, four-cylinder Tigershark MultiAir engine. Recalibration of the engine management system, a low back-pressure exhaust and a high-flow air intake have all been employed, and the result is an increase from 184 bhp (137 kW / 186 PS) to 210 bhp (156 kW / 212 PS).

To go with the extra performance, the second package is all about appearance. For the exterior, the most obvious change is the carbon fibre bonnet that incorporates a prominent air scoop. It’s complemented by 18” ten-spoke forged alloy wheels, plus a matte black rear spoiler, front splitter, rear diffuser and side skirts.

On the inside, Ruby Red Katzkin leather has been chosen for the seats and door panels, with various Piano Black trim pieces and black suede on the dashboard top providing visual contrast.

Mopar isn’t planning to produce the GTS 210 Tribute as a standalone model, but the components used will be available either separately or as stage kits towards the end of this year.

‘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

Kawasaki W800 revealed

19 January 2011 Update: For confirmed Kawasaki W800 pricing, please click here . Kawasaki has unveiled its retro W800 at the Cologne Intermot motorcycle show. There are a few differences between this production-ready version and first image of the W800 , which was released last month. The most obvious is that the limey-green paint has been ditched, replaced by a much more attractive dark green and silver metallic colour scheme. Other changes include the seat unit, which looks a bit plusher but loses its contrast piping around the edge. There are now knee pads on each side of the fuel tank, too, that sit just behind very large chrome ‘W’ emblems. No surprises in the engine department - it’s an air-cooled twin with a capacity of 773 cc, driving through a five-speed gearbox. Unfortunately Kawasaki hasn’t released any power or torque figures yet, but given that its W650 predecessor managed to get 49 bhp (37 kW / 50 PS) from its 675 cc, somewhere approaching 60 bhp (44 kW / 60
