2018 Corvette Carbon 65 Edition announced

To celebrate the Corvette’s 65th birthday, Chevrolet has created the Carbon 65 Edition.

Just 650 examples are being built. Such a limited volume doesn’t mean a lack of variety though, because the Carbon 65 Edition can be based on either the Grand Sport 3LT or Z06 3LZ variants. Furthermore, it’s available in both Coupe and Convertible guises.

As this special model’s name suggests, numerous carbon fibre components are fitted as standard. They include the rear spoiler, quarter-panel intake ducts (Coupe only), roof panel (Coupe only) and tonneau inserts (Convertible only). The same material is also used for the cabin trim pieces and steering wheel.

Ceramic Matrix Gray paintwork is complemented by a blue finish for the bodywork graphics, brake calipers and the Convertible’s folding roof.

Black wheels, Competition Sport seats, black suede upholstery, unique sill plates and a numbered dashboard plaque complete the specification.

Opting for the Carbon 65 Edition package will add $15,000 to a Corvette’s invoice. Deliveries begin in the summer.

‘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.
