The Jensen Interceptor GTX was teased a few months ago. Apart from the fact that it will have a supercharged V8, not much was known back then. But now, more details of the upcoming track-focused machine have surfaced.
The supercharged V8 is a 6.8L GM LS-based unit that will make 900 hp, but it can be tuned later to develop as high as 1200 hp. It will be mounted at the front of the Jensen Interceptor GTX, which will obviously be RWD. Mated to this powerful engine will be a 6-speed sequential manual gearbox with both paddle and central-stick shifters.
Other key hardware includes AP Racing brakes with steel discs accompanied by six-pot calipers at the front and four-pots at the rear, 20-inch alloy wheels wearing 275/40 Michelin Pilot Sports at the front and 345/30s at the rear, and double-wishbone suspension with adjustable Nitron dampers.
Being a proper track car, the Jensen Interceptor GTX will feature a bare-bones interior with polycarbonate windows, harnesses for the carbonfibre seats, and an FIA-compliant roll cage. It will also be equipped with a vast carbonfibre rear wing, diffuser, side skirts and splitter.
