Jensen Specialist JIA Previews Clean‑Sheet, Interceptor‑Inspired V8 GT

The hand-built model promises an analogue driving feel using a bespoke aluminium chassis with V8 power.

Overview

  • Jensen International Automotive says the coupe is a completely new creation inspired by the 1960s Interceptor, not a restomod or continuation.
  • The car is built around a bespoke aluminium chassis and is intended to deliver a fully analogue driving experience with bespoke V8 power.
  • Autocar reports the engine is expected to be the latest Chevrolet Corvette’s 6.2‑litre V8, though JIA has not confirmed the final specification.
  • Production will be in ultra‑low numbers in Oxfordshire by a dedicated JIA team, with pricing and full technical details still to be announced.
  • Launch timing remains unclear, with PistonHeads citing later this year and Autocar saying next year, and a Goodwood Festival of Speed debut described as plausible.
