Lotus Exige 360 Cup unveiled

Lotus Motorsport has created the Exige 360 Cup, which is essentially a lighter, slightly more powerful version of the Exige V6 Cup.

As its name suggests, output from the supercharged 3.5 litre V6 engine has been increased by 10 bhp (7 kW / 10 PS) to 355 bhp (265 kW / 360 PS) courtesy of a revised induction system and a sports exhaust.

Weight meanwhile is down to 1,130 kg (2,491 lbs), thanks to a new front access panel and a louvred tailgate. Along with the roof, they feature a distinctive matt back finish.

As well as adjustable suspension, launch control and four driving modes, the 360 Cup's standard specification includes red five-spoke wheels and upgraded grooved brake discs.

There's an extensive options list, too. Among the items on it are Öhlins race dampers, adjustable anti-roll bars, a removable steering wheel and carbon fibre race seats.

Just fifty examples of the Exige 360 Cup are going to be produced. Prices start at £62,995 and customers will have a choice of black, grey, silver or white metallic paintwork.

‘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.
