The TWR Supercat marks a triumphant return for the TWR brand, breathing new life into the spirit of high-performance driving. Founded by Fergus, son of the legendary Tom Walkinshaw, TWR's latest creation harks back to the heyday of Jaguar's racing pedigree, taking inspiration from the much-revered Jaguar XJS. The Supercat is not just a nod to the past, but a vision for the future, combining classic elements with cutting-edge technology to create an automotive masterpiece. With roots firmly planted in the golden era of motorsports, echoing icons like the XJR-9 and XJ220, the Supercat embodies a blend of history and innovation like no other.
The design of the TWR Supercat is a modern reinterpretation brought to life by the renowned artist Khyzyl Saleem, also known as TheKyza. His artistic prowess merges the vintage allure of the Jaguar XJS with the streamlined aesthetics of contemporary supercars. The vehicle boasts lightweight carbon-fibre body panels and an integrated tubular steel framework, achieving a weight reduction of 9.3% from its predecessor, settling at 1,605 kilograms. This redesign retains the car’s classic silhouette while enhancing performance capabilities, offering a driving experience that is both thrilling and authentic to Jaguar's formidable legacy.
Underlying the striking exterior is a powerhouse of engineering excellence. The Supercat is propelled by an in-house developed supercharged V12 engine, producing 660 horsepower and a thrilling 730Nm of torque. Only 88 units of this bespoke vehicle will be crafted, ensuring its exclusivity in the world of luxury automobiles. Drivers fortunate enough to secure one will enjoy a personalized, commissioned experience, aligning with TWR’s commitment to creating a car that is as unique as it is powerful. With open orders and an exceptional blend of design, heritage, and performance, the TWR Supercat stands as a testament to the enduring allure of innovative automotive design.
