When I first saw images of the TWR Supercat, I had to pick my jaw back up off the floor. Once I did this, I then looked into what is hidden under the bonnet which resulted in me having to pick my jaw back up once again.

In a world where we are seeing cars launched with smaller engines, automatic gearboxes and turbochargers, the Supercat has decided to ignore all of these. It comes with a six-speed manual gearbox and a supercharged V12 producing in excess of 600bhp. Before you go back and re-read that, you did read it right the first time.

However, if you do want one, I know I do, you need to be quick as only 88 are being produced to celebrate the 1988 Le Mans win in the TWR Jaguar XJR-9. Like a lot of the restomods that are making their way to the market, you can go as personal as you like with the Supercat. 

Now you may be thinking how much this will set me back. I hope you’re sat down for this because the Supercat starts at £225,000. If you ask me that has to be one of the best value for money restomods you can get. 

When reading about the car, I was thinking surely this all sounds too good to be true. However, the more I read into this car, the better it gets and the more I wish my bank account has a few extra zeros so I can join one of the lucky 88 who will get a Supercat.

The Supercat has had no expense spared during its development as some of the most recognised names in motorsport have been through the development process. These include: McLaren, Ferrari, Porsche, Williams, Mercedes F1 and Renault F1.

Oh and also a certain Mr Magnus Walker was involved in the design of the car, as a Design Consultant. So it is safe to say that those who have put their orders in will be having quite the driving experience when they sit behind the wheel.
