The Jensen name is making a comeback to the motoring market this year.
Today, Jensen International Automotive has announced plans to launch what it describes as, an ‘all-new ultra-high-performance, luxury British GT inspired by the iconic 1960s Jensen Interceptor’.
Not a lot of details have been revealed as yet, but the Banbury-based company has said the car will be an entirely new, handbuilt model, with an aluminium chassis and a V8 engine, and offered as a low-volume product.
This will be JIA’s first all-new car and a separate venture from the existing business.
Just a single image (above) has been released, hinting at a classic, GT silhouette – JIA promises it will share further details soon.

JIA already has a substantial history with the Jensen Interceptor, through its work restoring, re-engineering and updating classic examples.
This 21st-century reimagining is going to be developed by a dedicated new division of JIA to create ‘a thoroughly modern take on a luxury British GT’.
