FactThe Interceptor's glass tailgate wrapped clean around the rear, doubling as the entire opening trunk lid.
A grand touring car hand-built at the Kelvin Way factory in West Bromwich from 1966 to 1976, designed by Carrozzeria Touring, with a distinctive large curving wrap-around rear window that doubled as a tailgate. Chrysler V8 engines drove the rear wheels; 6,408 were produced. The 440 "six pack" Jensen SP of 1971 was the most powerful car Jensen ever made.

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.
