A legitimately designed Interceptor built for the modern age would be a car worth considering accolades and glory laden, but, let's be real, is anything designed for the working man who rises above, let alone the working class man who succeeded?
It's like asking for a luxury watch for the working class, that has moved up the career ladder. Hey, Rolex, just build a 300 USD/EUR watch for the construction guy who already has 100k+ USD Ford/GM/RAM pick-up truck and that bossy girlfriend. Just look how successful the Omega x Swatch thing was/is!
I feel like I remember it being a lot less not long ago, but isn't that everything? Especially luxury products. Granted, "a lot less" was still multiple grand.
I like the Tudors a lot, hard to see one as a luxury watch for the working class due to the price. But hey if you can just walk into the store and buy one without any bullshit then maybe?
I legitimately do not know. My question wasn't rhetorical, though it may have seemed like it. All I know is Rolex has a waitlist / wants relationships / whatever and some of the expensive brands do too.
Says it'll use the outgoing Corvette stingray v8, the 6.2L LT2 with 490hp. Wonder if there is any chance they'll be able to use the new 6.7L instead or in the future. Though honestly I wonder if there is any chance of this actually coming out. I've already been scorned by multiple British car companies attempting to make a new model, looking at you TVR and Gordon Murrey T33. Hell even established makes like Aston Martin have failed to deliver on their promise of a new manual for production vehicles, the valour and valiant don't count.

It’s going to be like three hundred thousand great British pounds isn’t it?
I once met a guy once who had a Jensen Interceptor. He was working on it in his driveway. I stopped in as I was driving by and asked him if it was a Saab Sonett. He tried to sell it to me.
I told my father, who has owned a shitload of old British cars, about this interaction. His disappointment in my question haunts me to this day.

The Jensen is a much larger car, but the proportions and overall shape are very similar.
Damn I hope this is a success for Jensen. The [old SV8 was an ugly thing,](https://goauctionmpc.bidpath.cloud/stock/2389-0-medium.jpg?v=63850925520687) but I had a ride in one briefly and it was immense. One of the best built cars I've ever sat in.
If they can maintain that level of finish, but get production numbers up a modern Interceptor has the potential to do really well.
[looks like it has a raging clue](https://images.paramount.tech/uri/mgid:arc:imageassetref:shared.southpark.us.en:e367060b-a09f-49ed-834c-1825b5919955?quality=0.7&gen=ntrn&format=jpg&width=1200&height=630&crop=true)
About a decade ago there's was an announcement of a Jensen name revival. I assume that one fizzled out, maybe whoever is backing this will have better luck this time
