When the Jensen 541 R was tested by

magazine in January 1958 it achieved their highest maximum speed for a four-seater car at 127.5 mph (205.2 km/h). It was conducted in below-freezing conditions with a "stiff diagonal breeze". 0–60 mph was recorded at 10.6 seconds with fuel consumption at 18 mpg ‑ The 1957 -1959 model carried the DS 7 version of the Austin Sheerline's four-litre motor equipped with twin
carburetors
on its right side. The cylinder head was reworked for the lifted compression ratio of 7.6:1 and a "long dwell". The engine had a raised output to 150 hp (112 k W) at 4100 rpm and 210 lb⋅ft (285 N⋅m)
The 541 R employed a low-revving 3,993 cc (4.0 L 243.7 cu in)
straight-six engine
from the
Austin Sheerline . The suspension system came from the
Austin A 70
with independent suspension by coil springs at the front and a live axle with
semi-elliptic springs
at the rear. The 541 R, introduced in 1957, differed from the 541 by using rack & pinion steering instead of a
cam-and-roller
system, and large disc brakes were used on all four wheels.
Only 53 of the 541 R ever produced with this engine
