The Jensen Interceptor name is set to return with a fresh twist. A digital rendering of the upcoming 2027 Jensen Interceptor GTX has appeared, showing a sleek sports car that could bring the classic British brand back into the spotlight.
A Modern Take on a Classic
The original Jensen Interceptor was built between 1966 and 1976 in England. It was known for its front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout and V8 engines supplied by Chrysler. Now, the Interceptor name might be revived on a new high-performance model, potentially aimed at track use first, with road versions to follow.
The renderings shared online by artist Nikita Chuyko depict a clean and sharp design. Notable details include flush door handles, vents behind the front fenders and rear panels, sharp side skirts, and a full-width rear light bar above the taillights. The rear end also shows a diffuser and twin exhaust outlets. An illuminated Jensen logo adds a modern touch, while the overall shape has a sporty, low-profile stance somewhat reminiscent of Alpine sports cars.
Powertrain Rumors and Launch Timing
Insiders suggest that the Interceptor GTX could be powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8 engine sourced from General Motors. This would provide robust power suitable for a track-focused car. It remains unclear what specific output Jensen aims for, but this choice would mark a departure from the classic Chrysler V8s.
The new Interceptor GTX is reportedly scheduled for an official unveiling in the second half of 2026. The initial model may be a track-only version, previewing future street-legal Jensen cars based on the same platform.
While these renderings offer a clear idea of what to expect, Jensen or its partners have not confirmed detailed specs or production plans. The final design and technical details may change before launch.
Looking Ahead
The return of Jensen with a modern Interceptor model would be a surprise for enthusiasts familiar with the brand’s heritage. Using a GM supercharged V8 and sharp contemporary styling could position the Interceptor GTX as a niche performance vehicle for the coming years.
More information should become available closer to the planned unveiling later this year.
