2020 Cadillac CT5-V first view

Cadillac has revealed the high-performance CT5-V. This V-Series version of its all-new CT5 mid-size saloon is distinguished by a mesh grille, 19” wheels, a rear diffuser, four exhaust pipes and an almost total lack of chrome.

Power comes from a 3.0 litre V6 gasoline engine with four valves per cylinder and two low-inertia turbochargers. Acceleration and top speed figures have yet to be released, but output is rated at 355 bhp (265 kW / 360 PS) with 542 Nm (400 lb/ft) of peak torque.

As standard, the CT5-V features a Hydra-Matic ten-speed automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive and an electronic limited-slip differential. All-wheel drive is also going to be available.

Chassis upgrades include a specially-calibrated Magnetic Ride Control 4.0 variable damping system, Performance Traction Management and, for the front axle, Brembo four-piston fixed brake calipers.

Deliveries of the CT5-V are due to begin across North America early next year. Prices will be announced closer to the car’s launch date.

‘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.
