The Interceptor Name Returns, Wearing Nearly 1,000 Horsepower

· 1 min read

A new take on the Jensen Interceptor has surfaced, badged GTX, holding on to the coupe's long-hood, fastback silhouette. Power comes from a V-8 tuned to 960 horsepower, paired with aerodynamic details drawn from racing rather than the road. The shape stays recognizable even as the car is aimed squarely at the track rather than the boulevard. It is a rare case of a classic profile put back to work with a modern powertrain behind it.

With reporting from Car and Driver.
