Lister’s New 666HP LFT-C Is A Topless Jaguar F-Type Dipped In Steroids


The Lister Motor Company has revealed the convertible version of the LFT-666, a specially modified Jaguar F-Type that packs really serious levels of firepower.

How serious? Well, Jaguar’s supercharged 5.0-liter V8 is now tuned to produce no less than 666hp, making the new Lister LFT-C capable of hitting 62 mph (100 km/h) from a standstill in just over 3 seconds and achieve a top speed of 205mph (330km/h).


Lister will produce just 10 examples in total, each featuring their exclusive carbon-fiber body panels. The bodywork of Lister’s take on the F-Type includes a new front bumper and splittera rear diffuser and lip spoiler, rear extended wheel arches, a new grille design and a set of lightweight alloy wheels.

The cabin of the LFT-C, which will be built to each customer’s exact specification, is completely retrimmed by hand, featuring the finest Nappa hides from Bridge of Weir leather. A numbered plaque made out of solid silver will be affixed to the engine cover.


Pricing for the new LFT-C starts from £139,000 (around $184k in current exchange rates), with the company offering an “almost unlimited” options list to its customers.

The new Lister LFT-C follows the hard-top LFT-666, which was limited to just 99 cars globally. Customer deliveries started in January, with cars heading as far as Australia and Canada. The British company saying that the entire allocation for 2019 is already sold out; customers can, however, still place an order for a delivery in early 2020.


In addition, Lister is also offering body kits and new wheels for all Jaguar F-Type models worldwide, with the packages starting from £9,750 ($12,900 in current exchange rates) for the Lister badge, bumper and wheel upgrade. F-Type models that receive this type of modification from Lister are badged as Lister LFTs, with no horsepower designation.

Limited Edition Ford GT 'Competition Series' Is All About The Track

Image
Ford's new GT Competition Series was built with weight-saving in mind, but also with an improved center of gravity for better road-holding. Among its features, you'll notice the lightweight carbon fiber racing stripes, A-Pillars and side mirrors, as well as the unique race-inspired Perspex acrylic engine hatch with integrated venting. Thanks to the manual latch and the carbon fiber prop rod, weight near the roof has been reduced, though Ford engineers went even further in their quest to make the car lighter, by making the bulkhead Gorilla Glass behind the driver about half as thick (and as light) as on other models. "The Ford GT has racing in its blood," said Ford exec Raj Nair, while adding that the Competition Series "was developed with the most hardcore track enthusiasts in mind, providing a tailored set of lightweight features and unique livery to match." There are also plenty of remaining performance features from the production car, such as

Alpine A110 Hits Geneva With Pure, Legende And GT4 Versions

Image
Renault’s reborn Alpine brand has been getting rave reviews for its new A110 and now, as promised, it’s revealed new versions of its coupe at the Geneva Motor Show. Following the success of the sold-out Premiere Edition, the A110 will now be offered in Pure and Legende trims. The A110 Pure is targeted at driving enthusiasts. It features one-piece Sabelt sports seats that weigh barely more than 13 kilograms (28.6 pounds) each and, combined with other weight-saving measures, helps keep the curb weight below 1,100 kg ( 2,425 lbs). It’s not entirely stripped out, though, and still comes with features like air-conditioning and satellite navigation. Buyers can also add upgraded Brembo brakes and an adaptive exhaust system and can upgrade to the adjustable comfort seats. Those come standard on the Legende model, which is geared more towards every day driving and grand touring and comes with leather upholstery. Customers can also choose between two Focal sound systems and two wheel

Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet Is A Crossover For Droptop Lovers

Image
Droptop crossovers have always been rather odd and the T-Roc Cabriolet is no different. It will be the only convertible Volkswagen on sale for the foreseeable future and will celebrate its public debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. Rather than simply removing the roof of the standard T-Roc, Volkswagen has drastically altered the vehicle’s structure and body. In fact, its wheelbase is 37 mm longer than the standard T-Roc while its overall length is up by 34 mm. In addition, the Volkswagen T-Roc Cabriolet features structural strengthening in the underbody, side panels, cross members, doors, and windscreen frame to make up for the lack of a roof. The folding fabric roof developed by Volkswagen retracts in just nine seconds at speeds of up to 19 mph (30.5 km/h) and is similar in operation to the roof of the outgoing Golf Cabriolet. The presence of the soft top reduces trunk space by 161 liters down from the 284 liters of the run-of-the-mill T-Roc. We don’t think bu
