Jensen Interceptor GTX automotive revival

Overview

Jensen International Automotive has unveiled the Interceptor GTX, a track-focused supercar that marks the revival of the classic British marque. This new model represents a transition for the company from producing restomods to developing entirely new vehicles from the ground up.

The GTX features a hand-built aluminum spaceframe chassis, developed in collaboration with Avant Design, and carbon fiber body panels handcrafted by Coventry Metalcraft. The vehicle incorporates advanced aerodynamics, including a large front splitter and a structural carbon-fiber rear wing capable of generating 350 kg of downforce.

Power is provided by a heavily modified 6.8-liter supercharged V8 engine developed by Texas-based Late Model Engines. While based on a General Motors LT2 architecture, the engine retains less than 20 percent of its original components and utilizes CNC-machined heads and titanium valves. It is capable of producing between 960 and 1,217 horsepower. Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a six-speed Samsonas Motorsport sequential transaxle and a carbon-fiber driveshaft.

Marking 60 years since the original grand tourer debuted, the GTX is intended to serve as a development platform for future models, including the luxury-focused GT and the performance-oriented GTR.
