Restomod

TWR Supercat based on the Jaguar XJS

British company TWR has unveiled the Supercat, a restomod based on the Jaguar XJS. The engineering company was founded in 2020 as a separate entity from the legendary Tom Walkinshaw Racing.

The Supercat features aggressive aerodynamic front and rear, a flatter undercarriage, side-mounted exhaust pipes and a huge new diffuser. The chassis is reinforced with carbon fiber, the double wishbone suspension has active and adjustable dampers, while the subframe uses TWR’s T45 high-strength tubular stainless steel. A limited-slip differential and traction control system are also installed to increase stability.

The interior of the car is equipped with electronically adjustable leather-wrapped front seats, while the rear seats have been removed. There is also a digital instrument cluster and a central infotainment screen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

As for the powertrain, the original 6.3-liter engine has been replaced with a 6.5-liter V12 engine with 670 hp (493 kW) and 538 lb-ft (730 Nm) of torque, mated to a 6-speed manual transmission with launch control that sends power to the rear axle.

Only 88 units will be produced, and buyers will be able to choose between right-hand or left-hand drive.

Jaguar F-Pace retires in 2026

At the 2015 International Motor Show Germany Jaguar revealed a new crossover SUV, the F-Pace, which according to JLR CEO Adrian Madrell has come to an end.

“We analyzed our offer, and five of the six models are going into history at the end of this year. Two are already in the past,” explained Mardell. The Jaguar F-Pace will remain on offer in some countries around the world until the beginning of 2026, but in smaller numbers.

Jaguar has already finished production of the XE, XF and F-Type models at its Castle Bromwich plant this summer, and the E-Pace and I-Pace models will cease production in the next month at the Magna Steyr plant in Austria.

On December 2, a new concept will arrive, which will show the appearance of the brand’s first fully electric car. It will be a four-door GT that is currently in the testing phase, and sales will begin in the summer of 2026. It is followed by luxury SUVs like the Bentley Bentayga and large luxury sedans.
