Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack

The Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack reaches 60 mph in 6.93 s (100 km/h in 7.27 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 15.40 s, tripping the lights at 93.3 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s and the eighth mile in 10.12 s.

Simulated, not measured — computed from published kerb mass, rated power, gearing and drivetrain, then fitted to this car’s own published acceleration figures. Dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

About the Interceptor III Six Pack

The 1972 Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack is a rear-drive naturally aspirated saloon of 1,837 kg with 385 bhp, which works out at 210 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 210 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.68 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,522nd quickest to 60 mph, and the 2nd quickest of the 4 Jensens here. Its 93.3 mph trap speed sits about where its 0-60 puts it, so it launches and pulls in roughly equal measure. The simulation is trimmed to 8 of 10 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack 0-60 time?
The Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack reaches 60 mph in 6.93 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,522nd quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack quarter mile time?
15.40 s at 93.3 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 10.12 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.68 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack have?
385 bhp and 1,837 kg, which is 210 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 234 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack?
Closest here on pace: BMW M3 Evolution (6.99 s), Alpina B12 5.0 (6.97 s), Cadillac Seville STS 9-Code (6.88 s). Each one can be raced against the Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The Jensen Interceptor III Six Pack is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 10 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
