2nd March, 2015
Almost 80 years since the Jensen name appeared on cars, the famous British
marque plans a return. The new "GT" will be the first officially sanctioned model in 13 years.
Marking the renewal of the brand, the formation of the Jensen Group is the start of the next chapter in the Jensen
story, following the collapse of the car manufacturer in 2002.
Spearheaded by Tim Hearley, executive chairman of The Jensen Group, is delighted with the re-launch of the marque:
“This represents the next chapter of Jensen and, as we look to the future, we want Jensen enthusiasts to help us
celebrate as we unveil a completely new car and outline our plans for the future.”
The Jensen Group is currently engaged on a project to launch Interceptor 2 in 2016, which may involve collaboration
with an established automotive group. The Jensen GT will fill the gap between the last true Jensen, the Interceptor of
1976, and the all-new, state-of-the-art car due to be revealed in 2016.
This new model, classed as Interceptor 2, will take design cues from the classic Interceptor and will advance the
concept of the original grand tourer, to provide a thoroughly modern and exciting vehicle.
Despite several companies claiming to be the nominal home of Jensen, the Jensen GT is the first new car to
legitimately bear a Jensen badge in the more than 13 years, since the demise of the S-V8 in 2001.
