2016 Jensen GT Marks The Return Of The Iconic British Automaker

Famous for the Interceptor muscle car, Jensen is back - and the GT will be its first new model in 2016

Legendary British sports car maker Jensen has risen from the ashes and announced it’ll be building a new car to be launched next year, followed by a new Interceptor.

A new company called the Jensen Group will launch the GT in 2016. It’ll be powered by a General Motors 665bhp 6.4-litre supercharged V8, and be based on a bespoke spaceframe chassis with the choice of six-speed manual or six-speed semi-automatic transmissions. The rear-wheel drive GT will come as a two-seater or as a 2+2, and promises a luxurious cabin, with leather and Alcantara trim. All cars will be built to order and cost in the region of £350,000.

The old Interceptor is a hoot to drive with the Chrysler 440. Jensen International's version with the LS7 is legal if it's LHD and retains its original date of manufacture. I'm a huge fan of the Interceptor and love driving one when I get the chance. Cannot wait to see the new one. I'd buy one even if I could only drive it at the track.

Is that supposed to say 35,000? Because if this is indeed 350,000, I predict that aren't going to sell very many.
