What you’re actually looking are the first overall
images of the Lister LFP. It’s based on the Jaguar, but promises performance
that would put even the F-Pace SVR to shame.
The Jag tuner has yet to release all the details,
but the initial information looks promising. The LFP is slated to pack 670
horsepower and reach a top speed in excess of 322 km/h.
Those letters, incidentally, we’re guessing stand for Lister or Lightning
F-Pace.
As it is, the F-Pace SVR built by Jaguar Land Rover
Special Vehicle Operations already packs a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 good for
542 horsepower and 680 Nm, helping it reach 96
km/h in 4.1 seconds before topping out at 283 km/h. Adding another
120 hp will only serve to make it even faster – and elevate the
tall Jag’s top end beyond those boasted by the Lamborghini Urus and Bentley
Bentayga.
Fortunately early indications are that Lister is
also fitting its take on the F-Pace with oversized carbon-ceramic brakes to
haul it from its stratospheric terminal velocity back to a standstill.
Judging from these initial images, it also looks
like Lister has fitted a huge set of wheels in which to house those brakes (and
channel all that power), and a smattering of visual and aerodynamic
enhancements to round out the package. The reborn Jaguar tuner of legend says
it’s now taking preliminary orders, and you can expect it’ll carry a suitably
high price tag. The Thunder (Lister’s take on the F-Type coupe) retails in the
UK for £ 139,950, over £ 27k more than Jaguar charges for its top-of-the-line
F-Type SVR, and nearly three times the price of a base F-Type.
