Mercedes-Benz V-Class AMG Line launched

A van-based people carrier might not be an obvious 'sporty makeover' candidate. That hasn't stopped Mercedes-Benz from creating an AMG Line package for the V-Class, though.

It comprises redesigned bumpers, subtly altered sills, a small tailgate spoiler and a set of 19” seven-twin-spoke alloy wheels. Also fitted is a revised suspension set-up that has been lowered by 15 mm (0.6”) and features stiffer springs and dampers.

Inside, a black headlining, brushed aluminium pedals and faux carbon fibre trim provide a suitably different ambiance.

The AMG Line upgrade will be available across all engine and body length combinations. Its arrival at the end of this year is due to coincide with the introduction of some additional options for the V-Class. They include a huge two-section panoramic sunroof and a larger centre console that incorporates a cooler compartment.

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.
