2015 MV Agusta Brutale 800 Dragster RR

A pair of wire-spoke wheels with forged hubs and a red anodised finish for the Marzocchi upside-down front fork offer visual hints that the new RR is more special than a regular Brutale 800 Dragster.

The enhancements begin with the three-cylinder engine. Although its 798 cc capacity is unchanged, MV Agusta has increased power output from the usual 123 bhp (92 kW / 125 PS) to 138 bhp (103 kW / 140 PS). Peak torque meanwhile has risen by 5 Nm (3 lb/ft) to 86 Nm (63 lb/ft).

With a slightly heavier dry weight of 168 kg (370 lbs), the result is a top speed of 153 mph (245 km/h).

Standard equipment includes a slipper clutch, a steering damper that’s manually adjustable to eight settings, traction control and Bosch 9 Plus anti-lock brakes with rear wheel lift-up mitigation.

‘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.
