On tonight’s Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson took a look at a modern remake of the Jensen Interceptor. Using a GM 6.2L V8 the new Interceptor generates over 400 bhp, does 0-60 in 4.5 seconds and will go on to a top speed of 160 mph.
There can be no doubt performance is massively improved, although I wasn’t convinced on the sound. The video below shows an original Jensen Interceptor, complete with 7.2L V8. Even at tick-over, you could easily mistake an Interceptor for God clearing his throat (probably a Jeremy Clarkson quote):
Buy the Jenson Interceptor 6.2L V8 or 7.2L V8
If you’re looking to buy a Jenson Interceptor, you can find the original on eBay from under £6,000. Alternatively, Jensen Cars will sell you the remake for £110,000.
