About this episode

It’s been many, many decades, but the Jensen Interceptor name is back. Only this time, it’s a humungous, track-only V8 luxury barge. Confused? You should be, because track-only specials are typically based on light, mid-engined supercars rather than four-door coupes the size of a canal boat. But it ticks a lot of boxes, like a 973hp supercharged V8, Nitron dampers and a wing that put a Pikes Peak car’s to shame. A road-going Interceptor GT (which is actually a four-door) and track-inspired GTR are due to join the range later down the line, which makes Jensen International Automobile’s approach to the Interceptor’s revival quite unusual. One that does, however, make a bit more sense when looking at the big picture… On top of that, Sam’s been to Germany to drive the new VW ID Polo, there’s a £15k retro car buying challenge to tuck into a forum thread on future cult cars to sift through. 🏎️ Sell your car on PistonHeads auctions: https://www.pistonheads.com/sell/auctions CHAPTERS:0:00 Intro8:11 Jensen Interceptor GTX32:30 70s and 80s coupe challenge53:22 Future cult classics TOPICS:Jensen Interceptor GTX: https://www.pistonheads.com/news/general-pistonheads/oof-973hp-jensen-interceptor-gtx-revealed/51639 £15k retro car challenge: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=255&t=2149467Future cult classics: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=23&t=2149824.  CARS:Cam’s Ford Capri: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/20954774 Sam’s Rover SD1: https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/17802028  FOLLOW US: 🗣 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/pistonheads 📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pistonheads 🐦 X: https://twitter.com/pistonheads
