Chrysler V8 in a Touring-designed body with the most beautiful glass tailgate ever designed. The ultimate 1970s GT cruiser.
History
The Interceptor combined Italian styling by Touring of Milan, British craftsmanship from West Bromwich, and American V8 muscle from Chrysler. Its curved rear glass window became an iconic design element. The sister car, the Jensen FF, was the world's first production car with all-wheel drive and ABS.
