Once a legendary name in racing, now a builder of bespoke performance cars, TWR returns with a supercharged V12 XJS designed by @the_kyza and Magnus Walker
The names TWR and Jaguar go together like bread and jam – so it seems entirely appropriate that the reinvention of the former as a ‘constructor of bespoke automobiles’ begins with this TWR Supercat, which is based on the. Jaguar’s grand tourer, which will be 50 years old in 2025, has always been distinctive. But the Supercat is something else.
Furthermore: ‘The design, engineering and development programme of the Supercat series sets the standard for all future TWR products and production runs. The development of this project started more than two years ago and has taken hundreds of thousands of collective hours to get to its current production-ready state.’
But perhaps that’s because at this stage TWR wants us to focus on the design, which is certainly very striking. Those carbonfibre panels make the Supercat lighter and stronger than the XJS that donates its skeleton, and the overall development of the body is said to have taken ‘tens of thousands of hours’.
