Jensen International Automotive was recently formed in an attempt to revive the iconic British automaker's name.
The first new model, dubbed the Interceptor GTX, will be a track-only supercar.
Jensen plans to use the GTX to demonstrate style and performance potential for future road-legal models.

The recently revived Jensen International Automotive has revealed plans for a fresh interpretation of a British classic called the Interceptor. The firm intends to resurrect its famous muscle car, beginning with an early variant known as the Interceptor GTX.

One limitation applies here: Jensen has identified a route to reach pre-production while potentially locking in buyers to back this initial phase. The debut Jensen model will remain limited to track use only.

Details on the Interceptor GTX stay limited to a few promising hints released so far. The vehicle should stay light thanks to an aluminum frame and panels. At the front end, a supercharged V8 powerplant is expected.

Per Autocar, Jensen has discussed an analog driving feel. Many anticipate this points to a traditional manual transmission.

What do you think?

Notably, the launch through a track-only supercar lets Jensen bypass the rules needed for full road legality. Jensen buyers would essentially pilot early prototypes. This setup may deliver strong customer engagement if Jensen draws on owner input to shape the eventual road cars.

Motor1's Take: The classic Jensen Interceptor stands as one of the most striking cars ever produced in the UK. We hope Jensen can recapture even part of the original appeal. The new model will require strong power up front paired with design cues that echo Italian flair.
