2014 Buick LaCrosse revealed

After almost four years on sale, Buick has given its flagship LaCrosse a facelift, an updated interior and some extra equipment.

The subtle tweaks to the exterior include a restyled front bumper, LED daytime running lights, a bolder grille design and wraparound rear LED light clusters.

On the inside, the focus has been on improving the ambiance. New seats are complemented by upgraded materials, while a refreshed centre console now incorporates an 8” colour screen.

Available specification for the 2014 LaCrosse includes adaptive cruise control together with a range of camera- and radar-based safety systems such as rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning and side blind zone alert.

‘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.

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.

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
