Key Points:
- The new Jensen Interceptor retains the classic V8 engine but is otherwise a completely redesigned supercar, featuring a supercharged 6.8-liter V8 producing 960 horsepower and a six-speed sequential transmission.
- Unlike the original model, which was produced as a hatchback, convertible, and coupe from 1966 to 1976 with around 6,400 units made, the new Interceptor is currently available only as a track-focused GTX variant.
- Jensen plans to expand the lineup with two additional versions: the GTR, a road-legal and road-focused model, and the GT, designed as a Grand Tourer.
- The company chose to launch with the GTX first to showcase the engineering and design direction, offering customers a tangible and fully functional experience before releasing other variants.
- While the original Interceptor was relatively affordable in its time, the new model is expected to be significantly more expensive, though exact pricing has not yet been announced.
