2013 CRP Energica unveiled

Italian manufacturer CRP has revealed its Energica electric street bike. Although still in prototype form, the production version isn’t expected to differ too much.

Power comes from an oil-cooled electric motor that develops 134 bhp (100 kW / 135 PS) and 160 Nm (118 lb/ft) of torque. Those outputs are sufficient for a top speed of 136 mph (220 km/h), while the all-important anticipated range figure is a reasonable 93 miles (150 kilometres).

Chassis components include Marzocchi front forks and a Sachs rear monoshock damper, both of which are fully adjustable. The braking system is provided by Brembo, and it comprises dual discs with four-piston monobloc calipers for the front wheel and a single disc at the rear.

The 2013 CRP Energica makes its public debut at the EICMA show in Milan later this month.

In Italy, it will cost a steep €18,000 (around £14,400 / US $22,900 at current exchange rates) and deposits of €500 are being accepted from interested buyers. Deliveries, however, aren’t due to start until the beginning of 2014.

‘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.
