2021 Abarth 695 Esseesse unveiled

Production of the new Abarth 695 Esseesse is being limited to 1,390 examples. Half of them will come with Scorpion Black paintwork, while the other 695 are going to have a Campovolo Grey finish.

Special features include an aluminium bonnet and twin Akrapovič titanium exhausts. Together, those components reduce the car’s weight by 10 kg (22 lb).

Also fitted is the ‘Spoiler ad Assetto Variabile’ tailgate spoiler which first appeared on the 2019 695 70th Anniversario. Manually adjustable to twelve positions between 0° and 60°, it can generate up to 42 kg (92 lb) of downforce when travelling at 124 mph (200 km/h).

Power is provided by the familiar 1.4-litre T-jet turbocharged petrol engine that delivers 180 PS (177 bhp / 132 kW) plus 250 Nm (184 lb-ft) of torque via a manual transmission. Consequently, the 695 Esseesse is able to accelerate from rest to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 6.7 seconds, before reaching a top speed of 140 mph (225 km/h).

Pricing and an allocation number for the UK have yet to be confirmed.

‘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.
