Jensen Interceptor Mk 1

The Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 reaches 60 mph in 6.34 s (100 km/h in 7.12 s) and covers a standing quarter mile in 14.95 s, tripping the lights at 97.2 mph. It clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s and the eighth mile in 9.82 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 Mk 1

The 1966 Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 is a rear-drive naturally aspirated car of 1,680 kg with 325 bhp, which works out at 193 bhp per tonne. Rear drive and 193 bhp per tonne make the launch the hard part of the run: 60 ft takes 2.54 s. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 3,676th quickest to 60 mph, inside the fastest quarter, and the quickest of the 4 Jensens here. Its 97.2 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 9 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 0-60 time?
The Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 reaches 60 mph in 6.34 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 3,676th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 quarter mile time?
14.95 s at 97.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.82 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.54 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 have?
325 bhp and 1,680 kg, which is 193 bhp per tonne. It is rear-drive, naturally aspirated, with 5 gears and a quoted top speed of 215 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the Jensen Interceptor Mk 1?
Closest here on pace: Panther Solo (6.28 s), Iso Rivolta Lele 300 (6.33 s), Lancia 037 Stradale (6.45 s). Each one can be raced against the Jensen Interceptor Mk 1 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 Mk 1 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 8 of its 9 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.
