From the album: BIRTH
Detective Stig reporting for duty! |
The 1970's are a decade when detective shows are proven to be a popular. We see them in their muscle cars and exotics but almost none of them drives a Jensen Interceptor. Perhaps the styling that resemble more like a hatchback is quite dull and unpopular for the TV heroes of yesteryears. Imagine, I'm driving this Jensen Interceptor and I was the star of a detective show from the 1970's. Whoops! Mentioned from a Top Gear episode about the Jensen Interceptor...

Anyway the Jensen Interceptor is a classic car you can hardly find it on Gran Turismo 5's Used Car Dealer. It's hard to classify the Interceptor's true form because some say that this one's a classic exotic vehicle because it was powered by a 7.2L engine but this one's the Interceptor MkIII. The Interceptor MkIII is powered by a 7.2L engine that produces 385HP and it is capable to reach 0-100kph in 6.9 seconds. Flat out, this model can do 225kph. A hotshot who plays GT5 would tune the Interceptor as much as 703HP and 1368 of weight. Once driven with assists off, this gets twisty for this old chap that is proven to be not "detective" material in the 70's. This classic is not a good car to try and that's a load of rubbish, what a load of rubbish but still it looks fun to drift.

It may not be a good detective car from the 70's but the Jensen Interceptor is all about being nostalgia but being nostalgia is not good enough especially if someone has a liking over classic exotics. Once I drive the Jensen Interceptor, it feels like...feels like....feels like....
