The Jensen Interceptor GTX is inching closer to its big debut.

Company announced a mysterious track-only special.

Model will feature an aluminum body and a supercharged V8.

The Jensen Interceptor GTX is scheduled to make its global debut in the second quarter of 2026, which implies it will be unveiled by the end of September. That’s right around the corner, so the company has announced the car is a “pre-production, ultra high-performance, track-only special” that previews future road-going variants.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform !== "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("0f7e3106-c4d6-4db4-8135-c508879a76f8");

} else {

adpushup.triggerAd("82503191-e1d1-435a-874f-9c78a2a54a2f");

}

});

Details are as hazy as a Canadian wildfire, but the company billed the mysterious model as an “enhanced prototype build.” The firm went on to say it lays the foundation for “several future Interceptor variants, including road-going models and track-focused cars.”

The wording is puzzling as they’re effectively referring to it as a pre-production prototype, which suggests the model is simply a track-only development car. However, some publications are implying it will be sold to consumers.

var adpushup = window.adpushup = window.adpushup || {que:[]};

adpushup.que.push(function() {

if (adpushup.config.platform === "DESKTOP"){

adpushup.triggerAd("ea4d4b5a-f8e5-4d5d-9d9a-53a3b956b6cd");

} else{

adpushup.triggerAd("44c0a4dc-e25b-4ba5-ac64-2c510461b92a");

}

});

Jensen International Managing Director David Duerden didn’t shed much light on the matter as he stated, “The Interceptor GTX is no static show car. It is a track-focused special, developed as an enhanced prototype build, which will preview upcoming Jensen models . We can’t wait to unveil it to the world, fittingly sixty years after the launch of the original Jensen Interceptor.”

We reached out for clarification and were told the “GTX is a track-only development car, used for testing, paving the way for customer cars (both track and road versions).” This means it’s a prototype and not something you’ll be able to buy – at least not yet.

While a number of questions remain, the company noted the Interceptor GTX is “not a restomod nor a continuation of any previous Jensen model.” Instead, it’s new from the ground up and features a contemporary aluminum body that was built by hand. It’s joined by an aluminum chassis and a supercharged V8 engine for the “ultimate analogue driving experience.”

Previous reports have suggested the model could have a GM-sourced supercharged 6.2-liter V8. That remains to be seen, but the mill produces 685 hp (511 kW / 695 PS) and 673 lb-ft (911 Nm) of torque in the CT5-V Blackwing F1 Collector Series .
