Jensen International has revealed the Interceptor GTX, a track-only development car that previews a planned road-going GTR and a more luxury-oriented GT. The GTX is not the production GT, and Jensen has not publicly confirmed the future road cars’ specifications, prices or delivery dates.

The programme draws on the original Interceptor’s spirit but is a new-car project, not a continuation build. Here is what Jensen has announced—and what remains unconfirmed.

What Jensen has announced

Jensen describes the GTX as a highly developed, track-focused prototype intended to support development of the road-going models. The company says the programme will proceed from further GTX development to a high-performance GTR and then a more luxury-focused GT.

Model Stated role What is confirmed
GTX Track-focused development car Track-only prototype that previews the road models. Jensen’s home page states 960bhp.
GTR High-performance road-going model Planned after further GTX development; Jensen says it will share the GTX’s high-performance character.
GT Luxury-oriented grand tourer Planned as the more luxury-focused model and the one most closely inspired by the original Interceptor.

Jensen’s future-model page describes bonded aluminium extrusions for the chassis and handcrafted aluminium coachwork. These programme details do not establish the final specification of either road car.

How much power does the new Jensen Interceptor have?

The clearest published figure for the revealed GTX is 960bhp, stated on Jensen International’s home page. Car and Driver also describes the GTX as having a 6.8-litre engine and 960 horsepower.

Jensen’s GTX page separately says its supercharged V8 can deliver up to 1200bhp and displays figures of 1000bhp and 1000 lb-ft. The company’s public pages do not explain how those figures relate to the 960bhp GTX claim, so they should not be treated as a confirmed output for the GTX or either future road model. These are company or reporting claims, not independently measured test results.

How the new programme relates to the original Interceptor

The original Jensen Interceptor was a grand-touring coupe with Italian-designed bodywork and a Chrysler big-block engine, according to Car and Driver. Jensen says the new programme takes inspiration from the original but is intended to create something entirely new rather than build a continuation car or revisit an existing design.

That distinction matters: the GTX is a track-only development car, while the GTR and GT are planned road-going models. The original car’s history is context for the revival, not proof of the new cars’ final design or mechanical details.

What is still unknown

Jensen has not publicly established the final engine, transmission, output, dimensions, weight or equipment of the GTR or GT. Pricing, ordering arrangements, production numbers and customer delivery timing for the road cars are also unannounced. The published GTX power figures remain unreconciled, and there are no verified acceleration, top-speed, economy, range or emissions results in the available research.
