Renault shows with the <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/review-renault-4-iconic-comfort-range-2025\/\">Renault 4<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/review-renault-5-e-tech-electric-2025\/\">5<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/kennismaking-renault-twingo\/\">Twingo<\/a> that it is entirely justified to revert to old acquaintances in modern times. The <a href=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/review-porsche-911-gt3-2025-nog-steeds-die-zalige-allrounder\/\">Porsche 911<\/a>, for that matter, has been doing this all its life, and if we look at the British, we see that Jaguar also took a gamble earlier with the move from the E-type to the F-type: not a copy, but a modern interpretation of a British sports car with history. Now Jensen is going to do the same &#8211; cool!   <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A new Interceptor, developed entirely from scratch<\/h2>\n<p>The Jensen Interceptor name is returning thanks to Jensen International Automotive (JIA). This is not a further development of an existing model, but a completely redesigned car.   <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/AutoRAI_Jensen_Interceptor_3-1280x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215490\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Oldschool technology in a modern twist<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Under the skin, Jensen opts for an aluminum chassis combined with a V8 engine. This is remarkable, because in a time when classics often return as electric models, Jensen deliberately opts for a completely &#8220;analog&#8221; driving experience. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hand built in the United Kingdom<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The new Interceptor will be built by hand in the United Kingdom and will appear in a limited edition. In doing so, Jensen is drawing on decades of experience within the automotive industry. In order to properly oversee the project, a separate division is even being created to focus entirely on the development of this new Grand Tourer.  <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A classic with a future<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Whether the new Jensen Interceptor will soon evoke the same feeling as its legendary predecessor remains to be seen. But the fact that a British classic is given a future again, with respect for its origins and without losing its soul, already makes this initiative special.   <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/autorai.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/AutoRAI_Jensen_Interceptor_2-1280x720.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-215491\"><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Retro design speaks volumes.
