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.
