This is the Lister Thunder. It"s the new supercar from the people who brought us the utterly nuts Storm in the 1990s, which wasn"t far short of a Le Mans car for the road. This, though, is a tuned Jaguar F-Type. We"ll forgive you a little disappointment. Lister"s history lies in faster, racier Jags, mind, its Knobbly racecar having D-Type roots. This Thunder not only has a name that riffs off the Storm, but more power than its 90s forebear, too. The F-Type"s supercharged 5.0-litre V8 has been wound up to a symbolically evil 666bhp a near-100bhp hike on the most powerful production F-Type propelling the Thunder from 0-62mph in around three seconds, 0-100mph in 6.8secs and onto a 208mph top speed.
