The son of the late Tom Walkinshaw, Fergus, is the brainchild behind the Supercat which he began working on over two years ago. Just 88 will be produced, celebrating the TWR Jaguar XJR-9 victory at Le Mans in 1988.
The Supercat is a supercharged V12-powered Super-GT boasting more than 600 horsepower and built on the Jaguar XJS platform. It's the first of a new generation of cars from one of the most celebrated names in motor sport and performance cars.
Given their winning association, it seems fitting TWR has chosen a Jaguar as the first of its cars. The factory-backed Walkinshaw XJS Jaguars were victorious at the 1985 Bathurst 1000, with local hero John Goss and German Armin Hahne teaming up to take the victory, and Tom Walkinshaw and Win Percy coming home third.
TWR's performance and motor-sport DNA are obvious throughout the car, from the choice of a manual transmission, to the weight-saving materials employed and the exhaustive testing, development and tuning programme undertaken, to deliver an intuitive and dynamic driving experiences for enthusiasts wanting a truly connected and unadulterated driving experience.
