   Jensen revives Interceptor nameplate with GTX track prototype

   Jensen is returning to the automotive market with the Interceptor GTX, a track-focused prototype powered by a V8 engine. While sources disagree on the exact output, the car is positioned as a high-performance British competitor to the Ford Mustang GTD. The GTX serves as the foundation for future production, including a planned series of super-GT V8s. A road-legal version of the Interceptor is also expected, which will deviate from the original design by featuring four doors.
