6.8L V8 we are not worthy No, that is not a typo. And get ready because there are more shocking numbers to come. If you weren't aware, Jensen International has been peacefully going about their business for a while making faithfully restomodded versions of their iconic Interceptor model. But now, it's time for a change. Starting here with the Jensen Interceptor GTX, a drastic change in direction for the company, but admittedly a pretty fun one. The GTX is a track-only, big-winged, stripped out racer with a bored out GM LT1 V8 under the hood. Displacement is up from 6.2 to 6.8 liters, with an additional 2.65L of supercharger stuck on top for a total of 950 horsepower. (Jensen claims it can develop 1,200 ponies if you really hate your tires) That power is sent through a carbon driveshaft to a rear transaxle, in this case a 6-speed sequential with straight-cut gears, but apparently a traditional automatic or H-pattern manual are not out of the question. Now you may be thinking, ok cool, will there be a road-going version? Well, not quite yet. Plans are laid out for a four-seat grand tourer, and a street-legal version of this GTX, but first priority is to use this track car to gauge overall interest, and to use it as a stepping stone for full-scale production. At the end of the day, this is still a very small group putting this whole thing together. Official pricing for the GTX has not been announced, but Jensen boss David Duerden suggests somewhere around £850,000 or roughly $1,145,000

Tesla Never Stopped Developing The Model S — Revelations with Jason Cammisa The Tesla Model S is the most significant car of the last 75 years. It entered production as a Car of the Year winner, but never stopped improving. The world's first software-defined car was continually upgraded, in both hardware and software, so that the final Signature Edition shares little more than its name and skin with the original. This is the story of the Tesla Model S.

On the latest episode of Revelations, Jason Cammisa looks back on the life of the Tesla Model S, one of, if not the most influential car of all time. Tesla's first sedan wasn't perfect. But it was an industry game-changer not (just) because it was electric. Not (just) because it was from a startup. Not (just) because it set the stage for the company to create the world's bestselling passenger car. But because it was created using Silicon Valley-style continual iteration. Tesla never stopped improving the Model S — rolling in hundreds, or even thousands, of running changes during its production: both hardware and software. In the end, it shares merely 3% of its parts with the original 2012 Model S, roughly equivalent to 60 years of progress at a traditional automaker. Watch Now:

The most significant car of our lifetimes. This is the subject of the latest episode of Revelations with Jason Cammisa, and let's be clear. This isn't about a person, this isn't about politics, and this isn't about whether you love or hate electrification. This is about a car. A car that transformed an entire industry, and will ultimately be responsible for killing off that industry. This is the story of the Tesla Model S. The car that, like it or not, changed the entire world. Watch Now:
