Jensen Interceptor Returns With V8 Power
The Jensen Interceptor name returns with the debut of the new Jensen Interceptor GTX, a track day car powered by an American V8 engine delivering 960 horsepower. Featuring a massive carbon-fiber wing, the track-focused monster maintains family resemblance to its grand-touring ancestor through its long hood and fastback proportions. Publications report the vehicle includes a manual option and nearly 1,000 horsepower, while positioning itself as Britain's answer to the Ford Mustang GTD. Creators also plan to spawn a trio of super-GT V8 roadgoing variants following the initial track-only release.
Why it matters
The revival brings back a classic grand-touring nameplate in a significantly more aggressive form built for the track. This debut connects historical British styling cues with modern high-output American engineering. Future development focuses on expanding the lineup from a strict track-day machine into street-legal grand-touring variants.
