What if there was a Jensen that did 20 miles to the gallon, had a new powerful engine that gave it modern reliability, 21st century brakes, and much improved road holding? After almost three years of development, V Eight Ltd at Cropredy Bridge is pleased to announce the first serious development of the Jensen Interceptor for over thirty years. Powered by the General Motors 6 litre V8 LS2 engine, the Jensen Interceptor S boasts 414bhp, independent rear suspension, APS 6-pot racing brakes with vented disks, seventeen inch wheels with low profile tyres and a brand-new 5-speed automatic gearbox.

For over 35 years, V Eight Ltd at Cropredy Bridge has led the way in maintaining the Jensen marque, having completed over 7,000 restorations and repairs in that time. Following many requests from owners, V Eight set out to design and build a Jensen Interceptor that retained the spirit and class of the original but had the performance and reliability of a modern vehicle
