The Supercat is fit with a 5.6-liter, supercharged V-12 engine that generates 525 ft lbs of torque.

The first release from the newly revived TWR, the Supercat is described in its official announcement as a “Super-GT underpinned by the legendary Jaguar XJS.”
According to Saleem, “You’ll notice the almost-hourglass figure of the car, when you look from the top down, and that’s an homage to the ’70s and ’80s.”

“It’s the proportion, the scale, the silhouette that’s most impressive,” says Magnus Walker, design consultant on the Supercat. “It’s a ground-up build of carbon body panels as opposed to a wide-body kit that’s attached to the car.”
“It stands out in a sea of hyper-restomod cars—a statement piece that ticks all the boxes for the senses,” says Magnus Walker of the TWR Supercat.
