British startup brings back famous name and its first product will be 600-hp carbon-bodied XJ-S with a manual gearbox.
Restomod builders often return to the same familiar models, so it is nice to see a new one being added to the list. The Jaguar XJ-S, which was built all the way between 1975 and 1996, has long since graduated to being an almost-classics, especially the brawnier versions that feature V-12 power. Now, another name from Jaguar's past—TWR—is creating this muscular carbon-bodied reinterpretation: the Supercat.Not that this TWR has any legal connection to its more famous predecessor.
The new iteration of TWR is no longer an acronym, the company having been founded by Fergus Walkinshaw, Tom’s son, and business partner Tom Kane. The XJ-S-based Supercat features what will be carbon fiber bodywork designed by Khyzyl Saleem, creator of numerous rendered restomods and reinterpretations of contemporary cars. While the renderings that have been released look spectacular, it seems likely that a production version will either need to have a higher front splitter, or a nose-lift kit.
