Lexus unveils a yellow LC Limited Edition

Anybody who likes being noticed should appreciate the new Lexus LC Limited Edition. It’s painted in a very conspicuous shade called Naples Yellow, which seems well-suited to the coupé’s striking styling.

The interior is equally eye-catching. Yellow Alcantara door-panel inserts contrast with an overall black cabin finish, while white leather covers the seats, centre console and driver’s armrest.

As the Limited Edition is based on the existing Sport Plus trim grade, the standard equipment list is comprehensive. 21” forged alloy wheels, a Torsen limited-slip differential, Dynamic Rear Steering and a retractable boot lid spoiler are all present, for instance.

Both of the usual powertrains will be offered. Therefore, one option is the LC 500 version that features a naturally-aspirated 470 bhp (351 kW / 477 PS) 5.0 litre V8 and a ten-speed automatic transmission. Alternatively, the LC 500h hybrid combines a 3.5 litre V6 petrol engine with an electric motor to produce 354 bhp (264 kW / 359 PS).

‘New’ Jensen Interceptor

Image
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. The body shell is stripped back to bare metal before it

Kawasaki W800 revealed

19 January 2011 Update: For confirmed Kawasaki W800 pricing, please click here . Kawasaki has unveiled its retro W800 at the Cologne Intermot motorcycle show. There are a few differences between this production-ready version and first image of the W800 , which was released last month. The most obvious is that the limey-green paint has been ditched, replaced by a much more attractive dark green and silver metallic colour scheme. Other changes include the seat unit, which looks a bit plusher but loses its contrast piping around the edge. There are now knee pads on each side of the fuel tank, too, that sit just behind very large chrome ‘W’ emblems. No surprises in the engine department - it’s an air-cooled twin with a capacity of 773 cc, driving through a five-speed gearbox. Unfortunately Kawasaki hasn’t released any power or torque figures yet, but given that its W650 predecessor managed to get 49 bhp (37 kW / 50 PS) from its 675 cc, somewhere approaching 60 bhp (44 kW / 60
