This is the Lister LFT-666. If you think it looks a lot like the Lister Thunder, that"s because it"s the same car, just in its full production spec and with a less interesting name. Thunder" was brilliant not only because it sounds, well, brilliant, but because it followed Lister"s last road car the Storm rather neatly. LFT-666 sounds far more like the product code for one of its valve caps, and it"s hard not to feel a weeny bit disappointed at the name change. "Originally, we named the prototype the Lister Thunder," says Lister boss Lawrence Whittaker. "However, due to future model lineage, all 99-production models will now be known as LFT-666, a befitting title and one where an intrigued passer-by instantly knows the horsepower of each Lister model."
