FactSmog rules, not the shooting-brake bodywork, were what slowed the Jensen GT down — 1970s emissions hardware and extra weight quietly ate into the acceleration and top speed of this ultra-rare wagon.
The Jensen GT is a British sports car introduced by Jensen Motors in 1975 as the shooting-brake version of the Jensen-Healey, designed by Kevin Beattie. The new configuration was a 2+2 with a very limited back seat, and aside from the body shape and seating relatively little differed from the roadster; acceleration and top speed were slightly reduced due to the increased weight and additional smog-control components on the engine. During its short production run from September 1975 until May 1976, 511 Jensen GTs were built before Jensen Motors went into receivership. It used the 1973 cc Lotus 907 four-cylinder with a 5-speed Getrag 235 manual gearbox.

The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
