It competes with the Chevrolet Corvette for bragging rights as America's best performance car, though the latter takes more of a mid-engine, supercar-like approach.Now, the Mustang GTD has a British counterpart in concept from Jensen International, which recently unveiled the track-only Interceptor GTX. It marks a new chapter in the brand's history, spearheading a new-car program that builds on the group's restomod business.Jensen InternationalView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleA Fresh Chapter for an Old NameJensen International Automotive has long been restomodding classic Interceptors from the model line introduced in 1966. This GTX prototype is the brand's first clean-sheet design, rather than another restomod. It draws parallels with the Mustang GTD through characteristics such as a front-mounted supercharged V8, rear-wheel drive, a long hood, and a track-focused ethos.AdvertisementAdvertisementAt first glance, the front fascia is even reminiscent of a Mustang, while the rear hints at a 992-generation Porsche 911, but more athletic-looking. The car was designed with Avant Design, with UK-based Coventry Metalcraft handcrafting the aluminum body and Northamptonshire-based Artiglio Automotive Studio producing the carbon-fiber aerodynamic components. It includes an adjustable two-plane rear wing claimed to generate more than 350 kg (772 pounds) of downforce.Jensen InternationalView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleInside are the racing essentials, including an FIA-approved safety cage, Tillett carbon-fiber competition seats, six-point harnesses, and a Lifeline fire extinguisher system. A configurable MoTeC digital display provides key information such as temperatures, pressures, gear selection, and engine data. Despite the track-focused approach, the cabin still gets Alcantara trim and padding, along with orange stitching and a retrimmed motorsport steering wheel.The Interceptor GTX also has some American hardware, like the original 1966 model, which used a Chrysler big-block V8. This modern version is powered by a 6.8-liter supercharged V8 developed and built by Houston-based Late Model Engines. Built with fewer than 20% of GM parts, the prototype is rated at 960 horsepower, though the engine can produce up to 1,200 hp and more than 1,100 lb-ft of torque, depending on its application and tuning. It is paired with a rear-mounted Samsonas Motorsport 6-speed sequential transaxle with straight-cut dog gears, shifted through either a lever on the transmission tunnel or steering-column-mounted paddles.AdvertisementAdvertisementOther mechanical specifications include hydraulic power-assisted steering, a bespoke carbon-fiber driveshaft, a Wavetrac differential, and front and rear aluminum double-wishbone suspension with custom-built Nitron three-way adjustable dampers, custom 20-inch one-piece forged aluminum Vossen wheels, and Michelin Pilot Sport tires. The vehicle also features a motorsport-grade AP Racing brake package developed with UK-based BG Developments, using floating steel discs instead of carbon-ceramic alternatives to "prioritize consistency, usability, and repeatable performance under varied track conditions."Jensen InternationalView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleThe GTX Is Only the Opening ActThe Interceptor GTX remains a prototype undergoing development. The launch release does not disclose pricing or confirm U.S. availability.The development program will help shape the planned street-legal Interceptor GTR, followed by a GT road car that prioritizes luxury. Around 80% of the GTX's exterior form is intended to carry over to the eventual road-going range. If those plans materialize, the trio could help Jensen reach a broader audience by offering different interpretations of the same nameplate, much as Ford does with the Mustang.Jensen InternationalView the 3 images of this gallery on the original articleAdvertisementAdvertisementThis story was originally published by Autoblog on Sep 5, 2026, where it first appeared in the News section.
