Jensen Interceptor successor promises an analog V8 grand tourer

Jensen International Automotive revives the Jensen Interceptor with an analog, V8-powered Grand Tourer successor, limited production and few driver aids.

The British classic Jensen Interceptor is getting a modern successor. Development and production will be handled by Jensen International Automotive rather than the original Jensen. The newcomer is billed as a ground-up, ultra-sporty and luxurious Grand Tourer that stays true to the original’s spirit.

Jensen International Automotive is a British company that has spent roughly 15 years acquiring Jensen Interceptors and carrying out full restorations and upgrades. Back in 2014 it outlined plans to create its own reincarnation of the Interceptor, and now it reiterates that the project is underway.

In keeping with the historic Interceptor, the modern successor will use a V8 engine. The company also emphasizes that it won’t chase a glut of digital systems: the car is intended to deliver an analog driving experience, without unnecessary electronics or intrusive driver assists. In a market of ever more screens and software layers, that restraint already feels like part of the appeal.

Technical specifications remain under wraps, though production will be limited. More details on the powertrain and the car’s key figures are promised later.

The project targets fans of classic GTs and those who prize traditional, seat-of-the-pants feedback over cutting-edge gadgetry. As the industry pivots toward electrification, this approach could help the newcomer stand out as a choice for enthusiasts who value feel and focus above all.
