Jensen Specialist JIA Teases All-New V8 GT Inspired by the Interceptor

The project is the restomod firm’s first clean‑sheet car, promising an aluminium chassis with a fully analogue driving experience.

Overview

  • Jensen International Automotive confirmed development of a hand-built, ultra‑low‑volume British grand tourer that takes inspiration from the 1960s Interceptor.
  • A teaser image shows a long bonnet and fastback profile with modern details, while JIA says the car will use an aluminium chassis and a bespoke V8.
  • JIA has created a dedicated division to accelerate the model’s development, separate from its ongoing Interceptor restoration business.
  • The engine’s origin and full specification remain unannounced, with Autocar reporting the latest Corvette 6.2‑litre V8 as likely while JIA maintains ‘bespoke’ powertrain language.
  • Timing, pricing, volumes and export plans are not confirmed, with reports variously suggesting a Goodwood debut next year or a 2027 launch.
