Please bring back this monster... it would be nice to see it as a premium model and be able to add side pipes on it just like the one on Fast & Furious
Jensen Interceptor 1971

anyways... why did Gran Turismo removed the Interseptor? was it because of the big 7.2 liter 440 Six Pak Hemi Engine???? it did have a 3 speed auto trans... but if you swap that thing for a 5 speed, the car would fly... F L Y ! ! ! lol

Personally I don't like the Fast and Furious version, but for a car designed in 1967 it certainly had looks which were way ahead of its time. I would also prefer the 1967 version - this was powered by a 383 cubic inch engine rated at 330bhp, but the 440 model was introduced later as a result of emissions regulations and was only rated at 280bhp. The SP (six pack) had a 383 fitted with three twin barrel carbs, but was dropped from the Jensen range due to low sales. The 440 was not a hemi - the hemi was a different engine altogether and was 426 cubic inches and was never offerred on a Jensen.
The Interceptor replaced the CV8 which was powered by the same 383 engine, but had much better performance thanks to a lightweight fibreglass body - the Interceptor was a heavy car, so although it was a step up in style it was a step down in performance from its predecessor the CV8.

Hey GTChampion1 - if you like side pipes and fast cars with big V8's, check out my thread titled TVR Griffith 200 1965!
Also check out my thread titled Sunbeam Tiger - big V8, no side pipes, but a great sound and style!

the car it doesnt have to have side pipes... Im not into every single car you see out there with side pipes... but the Interseptor deserves to be fully modify with side pipes

It would be nice if a side pipe option was available from the tuning menu - I am old enough to remember when no self respecting young man would be seen dead driving a car without a set of "Thrush Outsiders" burbling away - in fact (being from the UK) I remember when it seemed like every three litre Ford Capri in the country had a leaf spring jack up kit a set of Wolfrace wheels and side pipes. Nostalgic days, sadly now long gone!

I would include the Brasinca Uirapuru. A Brazilian car from 1964, in which some argue that the Interceptor was "losely inspired".

I was looking forward to get one of these in GT6, even if it's not a premium car, so I was a bit disappointed to hear that they removed it. Although I didn't play GT4 and GT5, I knew that it's in those games, and one of my expectations was to see the Interceptor carried over to GT6.

Sad that they removed the Interceptor from GT6. It was in GT5, so I was dissapointed when it didn't return.
Personally, I don't like the F&F version that much. A beautiful as this deserves to be stock!
I would love to see it return in GT6 as a premium model. Fingers crossed! (A fun thing is that my surname is Jensen!
)

Anyone who likes Jensen Interceptors check out my thread titled GKN FFF100 - that car was based on a Jensen FF Interceptor, but fitted with a lightweight body and a 600bhp 426 hemi. It broke the 0-100-0mph record in 1972.

There's no reason for pd to remove it from gt6. add it back, make people happy and boost your car number count in a better way than just duplicated cars especially with small to nothing different (just a different names for different region Ex:Mazda Mx5, Miata and Roadster.

Im gonna try, and explain everything, using horrible humour.
[Back in GT5, before the release of GT6]
MG F: Man, we gotta do something about the Jensen Interceptor.
Triumph Spitfire: what do you mean?
MG F: Don't you see the Ginetta G4 got karate chopped by him into that wall? And lets not forget those FPVs, we have to do something before he goes maniacal.
Triumph Spitfire: Good point, in that case lets bring out our deadlest-
*scene missing probably for being rather gruesome*
[Cut back to today in GT6]
Triumph Spitfire: ...
MG F: ...Man, i miss the Jensen Interceptor.

The Interceptor always has a natural rival in my mind - the ISO Grifo. Both Euro super tourers with big American power. Debuted within a short time of each other, and both have huge collectors appeal.
