2024 Jensen Interceptor R Supercharged
Owner: Jensen International Automotive Hosted by: Scabal
The Jensen Interceptor has always been a car for the stylish, a big-hearted grand tourer with grace and elegance.
This latest version, the R Supercharged, provides modern-day performance to go with the looks, courtesy of a 6.2-litre Chevrolet LT4 V8 engine. With 650bhp and 650lb ft, the R Supercharged offers supercar performance in a fully rebuilt body, with modern features such as fuel injection, digital engine management and, of course, that supercharger. The engine is mated to a modern eight-speed automatic gearbox for relaxed performance, while safety is taken care of by the AP Racing brakes featuring ABS on revised and updated front suspension. The company behind the car, JIA, has gone further by crafting a bespoke traction-control system and adjustable independent rear suspension to bring ride and handling up to modern levels.
The cabin is just as special, with a brand-new interior that pays tribute to the classic style, but with modern functionality. The Bridge of Weir-covered electric seats combine with Wilton carpet for a classic feel, yet you can also have Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, a heated screen and a fully revised air-conditioning system.
Power: 650bhp Top speed: 180mph 0-60mph: 3.7 seconds
