About the Jensen FF
The Jensen FF (Ferguson Formula) is a landmark of automotive engineering, debuting permanent all-wheel drive and mechanical ABS (Dunlop Maxaret) over a decade before the Audi Quattro. Based on the Interceptor but featuring a 5-inch longer wheelbase and distinctive twin side vents, it combined Italian styling by Touring with American Chrysler V8 muscle. Its complex drivetrain was designed for right-hand drive only, effectively barring it from the US market and contributing to its low production numbers. Today, it is highly prized by collectors as a pioneering grand tourer that offered unparalleled all-weather security for its era.

Jensen FF rarity in CarSpot
The Jensen FF is a Unicorn card in CarSpot, with a rarity score of 100 out of 100. The rarest tier: hypercars, one-offs and cars built in tiny numbers, typically fewer than about 500. A Unicorn card is worth 320 XP.
Each model's tier starts from a 0–100 score based on its value plus its power or production numbers. Once enough players have spotted a model, how often it is spotted can move it up or down one tier. How CarSpot rarity works
Rarity is a collectible game mechanic, not an assessment of real-world scarcity or value.
Jensen FF fun facts
