Black Edition treatment for the Toyota RAV4

Sales of the new Suzuki Across are due to begin later this year. That launch could cause some problems for Toyota, because the Across is essentially a rebadged RAV4. Of course, relative costs and equipment levels will undoubtedly influence which of the two models customers ultimately choose, but special versions like the just-announced RAV4 Black Edition might play a role too.

Otherwise, the specification is virtually identical to that of the existing Dynamic trim grade. For instance, the interior features black faux leather upholstery, a black headlining, dual-zone climate control and heated front seats. Also fitted is a Touch 2 infotainment system with navigation, Bluetooth, a DAB radio and smartphone integration (via either Android Auto or Apple CarPlay).

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.
