TWR SUPERCAT IS A 600BHP+ V12-ENGINED JAGUAR XJS RETRO MARVEL
The TWR Supercat for sale is one of the most talked about restomods of the decade: a carbon-bodied, supercharged V12 reimagining of the Jaguar XJS, built by TWR (Tom Walkinshaw Racing) under Fergus Walkinshaw, son of the firm's founder. Limited to just 88 units as a nod to TWR's 1988 Le Mans victory, this super-GT fuses the racing heritage of the XJR-9, XJR-12 and XJ220 with modern engineering and a price that places it firmly in the collector class.
What is the TWR Supercat?
Born from the framework of the once-controversial Jaguar XJS, the Supercat heralds the revival of TWR as a modern coachbuilder. The original XJS earned its stripes with classic victories such as the European Touring Car Championship and notable wins at the Spa 24 Hours and Bathurst in 1984. The TWR Supercat picks up that thread, transforming a 1980s grand tourer into a bespoke, race-bred super-GT for a new generation of enthusiasts. According to evo, development is complete and the project marks the rebirth of the storied Walkinshaw name.
How much power does the supercharged V12 make?
The striking architecture of the Supercat boasts a carbon fiber body meticulously crafted to evoke TWR's illustrious racing heritage. Designed by Khyzyl Saleem, noted for his revolutionary digital artwork and automotive ingenuity, the Supercat's aesthetic draws inspiration directly from legendary TWR racecars. Underneath its futuristic silhouette lies a monstrous supercharged V12 engine delivering well over 600 horsepower. This engine pairs elegantly with a six-speed manual transmission and a rear-wheel-drive setup, promising an unfiltered, visceral driving experience that appeals to the purist's soul.
How much does the TWR Supercat cost and how many are built?
The Supercat is not just a car, it is a statement. Priced in the region of a quarter of a million pounds and limited to a mere 88 units (a nod to TWR's 1988 Le Mans victory), each example promises exclusivity with extensive customization options. As Magneto magazine reports, this Supercat is both a tribute to a race-winning lineage and a cornerstone for the future of New TWR. Fergus Walkinshaw's vision of combining a cherished past with an innovative future takes form in this audacious project, setting a new benchmark in the luxury-performance auto segment.
