Noticias ALEJANDRO Posted May 6 Share Posted May 6 Although Jaguar is currently focused mainly on SUVs and electrified vehicles (like most manufacturers), its tradition in sports cars is very extensive. Also in stately GTs that made many sigh as they passed by. An example is the Jaguar of the coveted feline. The name already refers to the nickname given to the XJS at the time and is a complete design, engineering and development work by this British competition team, which has lasted two years. This example represents the first chapter of its new story, which wants to be focused on limited production vehicles. They already had a relationship in the past with the TWR Jaguar XJR-9 that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1988. In its honor, only 88 units of the Supercat will be made, which is already accepting reservations and will make its dynamic debut this summer. Although it may not seem like it, they used the original Jaguar XJS platform and also tried to maintain their philosophy. The design has always been made taking into account the best aerodynamic efficiency, hence it has marked shapes and widened body panels. Modern optics and semi-faired wheels stand out among shapes that are much more extreme than those of the model from which it is inspired. All panels are made of carbon fiber to lighten the assembly and improve the resistance of the Supercat. On the other hand, they wanted to maintain the twelve-cylinder essence of the XJS, although TWR has opted for a supercharged V12 that will exceed 600 HP of power. The features are yet to be finalized, but we can expect great things. And, as we said, there will only be 88 examples of the TWR Supercat and deliveries will begin at the end of the year. The reservation requires a deposit of 10,000 pounds, which will be deducted from the final price of 225,000 pounds (262,646 euros at the exchange rate) that this peculiar model costs.
