TWR Supercat Set to Thrill with Limited Production – Here’s the Inside Scoop!

newautopost Views  

Jaguar XJS-based
TWR Supercat unveiled
Only 88 units are to be produced

Tom Walkinshaw Racing (TWR) recently unveiled the Restomod Supercat, based on the Jaguar XJS produced in the 1980s. TWR has high technology, including manufacturing Jaguar’s race vehicle, which won the world racing competition Le Mans.

The Jaguar XJS is a grand tourer from 1976 to 1996, with 115,413 units produced over 21 years. It has become a hot topic because many engineers who were active in the F1 team participated in the production process of the Supercat, which was based on the Jaguar XJS.

The vehicle body is made of carbon fiber
Aerodynamic aspects have been improved

The Supercat’s body is mainly carbon fiber, and TWR claims that its development process took tens of thousands of hours. It features an aggressive front fascia while maintaining the XJS’ elegant, long hood and roofline. Specifically, the flared wheel arches harmonize with the giant diffuser and ducktail spoiler at the rear.

Motorsport-inspired aero disc wheels and side exit exhaust caps were also installed. Details such as the Supercat’s overall width and weight have not yet been revealed. However, Jaguar says there have been significant improvements in mass and aerodynamics compared to the existing XJS.

V12 engine with over 600 horsepower
Equipped with 6-speed manual transmission

The XJR-9, XJR-15, and XJ220 inspired Supercat’s design. Magnus Walker, a renowned vehicle collector and British fashion designer, participated as a design consultant for Supercat and breathed life into the retro aesthetic with Khyzyl Saleem, Supercat’s head of design.

The Supercat was equipped with a V12 engine that produces more than 600 horsepower. However, whether TWR used the modified 5.3-liter 12-pot engine used in the existing XJS or another new one was unknown. The Supercat was equipped with a six-speed manual transmission instead of the standard automatic transmission on almost all Jaguar V12 engine models except for the early 1970s.

Scheduled to be launched later this year
Only 88 units were produced

TWR has announced that it will reveal the entire interior of the vehicle before it is launched later this year. Additionally, only 88 Supercats will be produced to commemorate the XJR-9’s Le Mans victory in 1988. The starting price of the Supercat is expected to be around $282,000.

“This project was a great opportunity to translate TWR’s successful legacy into today’s design language,” said Khyzyl Saleem, Supercat’s head of design. He added, “Combining XJS and racing features, we created a unique identity that makes it recognizable as a Supercat from the silhouette.”
