RE: Orders open for 600hp TWR Supercat
Discussion
I'm not 100% sure about this. From some angles I quite like it, from others not so much. Will be interesting to see what the real car looks like that's for sure.

For those of us who are blissfully ignorant, can someone inform wtf TheKyza is??? What has he previously designed?
His name is Khyzyl Saleem and he started by doing digital renderings of modified cars with crazy body kits. He has over 1m followers on Instagram alone, and clearly appeals to a very different audience to PH judging by the comments on here. He works with OEMs on producing marketing imagery, while some of this body kit designs have been made into reality through the "Live to Offend" brand, which gives an insight into what he thinks of those who criticise what he does.The bonnet and rear don't look quite right, nor the massive wheels, it's all a bit too much Hot Wheels for me, maybe the production car will be better resolved. That colour looks like it was lifted straight from a BMW M4 Competition, so not really sold on that either. Strangely, given I didn't have particularly high hopes my taste was the target when this was announced, I'm still somehow left disappointed with the offering so far.

Why does anyone want a V12 anymore? Their big, heavy and unnecessary, any car equipped with one is inevitably compromised from the outset.
What's the bloody point apart from bragging rights?
The main reasons I'd love a V12 are because it will be big, heavy, unnecessary and compromised.What's the bloody point apart from bragging rights?
Oh, and bragging rights.

I suspect someone who buys one of these has a modern super car or two already, as well as some classics. Few people who spent £250k on a souped-up old Jag are going to be the position where they can only afford one car.d child of the two?Petrus1983 said:
That's the one angle the new car looks ok from. As others have said, it doesn't just need to be a restomod but just flared arches/wings and some good aero would be so much nicer. However, such a limited vehicle will find buyers who just don't care and £250K is nothing to themDebaser said:

The six (4.0 AJ6) was a great engine that really suited the car but I did often regret my lack of cojones!

However you can’t escape the ‘baby Jag’ feeling of not having the 12.
Similarly my Capri with a 2.1 pinto, Burton cam & 40’s was probably a much better car than the 2.8i but it wasn’t the ‘big’ one.
I may need therapy.

Sounds decadent; the Honda 5.5 on my lawnmower weights 16kg and will run forever on 25RON carrot juice - why would you need more? .

In the bizarre alternative universe where the ridiculous possibilities of this actually being produced and me having the money to buy something this expensive co-exist, I'd have one in a heartbeat d child of the two?PurpleTurtle said:

I would be amazed if this gets beyond one running example.
Magnus Walker on the design team. I know that guy is well into his cars but I do not understand how he's got where he is. He makes tramps look smart.I would be amazed if this gets beyond one running example.
