This original Jensen Interceptor came with a massive American 7.2L V8 engine. We’ve kept it American muscle and installed a Tesla large drive unit into it, bringing it into the 21st century.
Instead of the 7.2 litre Chrysler V8 440ci engine that struggled to get into double MPG figures, we’ve now installed a 60Kwh battery pack and an efficient electric motor, which means that the car now weighs less than when it was petrol and pollutes a whole lot less.
