The original (Growler) is my desktop background. Utterly stunning.

Only two things I'd change on the Lyonheart.....1) use the Growler's front lights and 2) put one in my garage.

Is this a "Go Baby Go Button" on top of the gear lever? Most beautiful car I have seen for ages.

Against the grain, I don't like it. Much rather an Eagle Speedster.

The original E type was extremely well priced for its class.

This, on the other hand

Really like the look of the Moal Gatto, but think the Zagato "homage" roof has been overdone, and looks like a lampost has fallen on the car !

Agreed, one of the most beautiful looking cars ever, but does it need so much power?

I would hate to see it feature on wreckedexotics.com

Had the E-type been built by Apple these guys would have been sued by Tata.

Jag cant build it for a number of reasons, all very obvious, retro, clashes with CX16/Ftype and XK market, but mainly because its not worth it for 50cars, and build/sell any more than that and your into type approval etc. The CX75 is what you build as a showcase, this is not an engineering concept only coachbuilding as a rich mans toy.

But if you noticed the 'made in coventry' bit assume this means it may well be built on the old Browns lane Jag plant Site by the CPP/Spyker boys!

Sadly all smoke, mirrors and Photoshop: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyonheart_K

Which makes me think of the 'new TVR Griffith', which is, guess what, almost ready no really it is honest...

'TVR is now "confident" about delivering its first new Griffith in 2022, due to having secured £2 million ($2.73 million) via the United Kingdom government’s recently launched Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme. Apparently, this money will allow TVR to finish its factory refurbishment and tool up to produce a full year's worth of cars, satisfying an order bank said to be worth $54.7 million.'

Even De Lorean managed to make some cars... spin
