2014 Škoda Superb revealed

Škoda has given its flagship model a facelift. The updated Superb, which will be unveiled at the Shanghai Motor Show later this month, features refreshed styling and more efficient engines.

The totally redesigned front end adopts the new Škoda family look as already seen on the Rapid and Octavia. It’s a similar story at the rear, where both the hatchback and estate get LED light clusters and modified tailgates.

In pursuit of reduced fuel consumption figures, all diesel-powered variants (as well as 1.4 litre TSI petrol models) now feature kinetic energy recuperation and stop-start systems. Škoda says the result is savings of up to 19%, and it’s claimed the GreenLine version will achieve an average of 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) while emitting 109 g/km of carbon dioxide.

Available equipment includes an upgraded park assist function that can handle both parallel and reverse parking, keyless entry and hill hold control.

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.
