The TWR Supercat: A Modern Classic

This car model has always been associated with a graceful line and optimal parameters of the power plant. TWR’s Supercat adapted it well with new-age features into the aesthetics of the old-school design. The Supercat, on the other hand, has a V12 engine, which is one of the most powerful on the market with 650 hp and over 700 Nm of torque, which has been developed to the hilt. These changes include the engine capacity rising from 5.3 liters to 5.6 liters, the insertion of the supercharger, a new cylinder head, as well as an improved valve train.

Engineering Marvel: The V12 Engine

The modification of its V12 engine is vastly different from that of the XJ-S model. These two enhance the displacement of the engine and supercharger, further improving the power of the engine and making it a force to reckon with on the roads. The engineers at TWR have made input to ensure that in attaining high performance, the engine also comes with high reliability and efficiency standards. Modern cooling systems permit, with many under the sharp bonnet, the air intake to manage the car at high levels.

Design and Aesthetics

The Supercat is not only glamorous but has some very reminiscent lines of vehicles of a bygone and more organic age. On the front side, the air intakes on the bumper are larger, and there is a spoiler integrated into the bumper. The hood has several intakes, most of which are not purely ornamental, as they do create an aesthetic view of the car. Replacing the old headlights, new LED units have been installed incorporating a unique ring-like outline around them, thereby enhancing the appearance of the automobile.

Limited Edition: A Tribute to Heritage

The production line for the TWR Supercat is only going to be a strictly limited 88 units, and this was accepted as it was meant to mark the victory record set by Jaguar in the 1988 24 Hours of Le Mans in the XJR-9 prototype car developed by TWR. The Supercats will cost 270,000 pounds in the UK only as a result of the component possessions and the workmanship professed corporal in the assembling of every Supercat. This is a truly beautiful sports car, and this limited edition is especially significant for Jaguar lovers, as it provides enthusiasts with the possibility to get accustomed to the piece of automotive legend.

Jaguar’s Transition to Electric

While launching the Supercat, TWR is also somehow relevant given that Jaguar is now moving to the electric-vehicle age. This process is represented by the change in the brand’s emblem that caused various comments from fans. Although the new image signifies the departure from the traditions, projects like the Supercat guarantee that the firm’s traditions in the field of high-performance combustion engines will not be forgotten.

Personal Opinion

The TWR Supercat is quite an original homage to the Jaguar XJ-S, as well as the Tom Walkinshaw Racing tuning kit. It appears to blend the old model with recent technology and better performance to meet user needs. For lovers of legends in the world of sports cars, such as the Jaguar Supercat, such a change can be effective in practicing competitions with modern characteristics. The cars are customarily limited in production, thus making them a status symbol with chances of appreciation in the market in the future.

End Note

The Supercat has become a clear indication of the Jaguar XJ-S’ ever-popularity and TWR’s creativity. Supercat implements this strategy as Jaguar begins a new chapter in the electrification of its automobiles to remind auto enthusiasts of the company’s tradition of making high-performance automobiles. To enthusiasts and collectors, Supacat offers the potential of creating a piece that combines historical value with contemporary improvements in a restomod car.

However, there is a Jaguar dedicated tuner that is willing to take matter into their own hands and develop in-house built aero kits and power upgrades for Jaguars. One of them is renowned tuning firm Arden, now developing a full package for the Jaguar XE S.

The model in question is highlighted in the media gallery below and is wearing the tuner`s Project 8, consisting of a new body kit, a couple of interior enhancements and a power boost under the hood.

There are plenty of new highlights that make the Jaguar XE S in question stand out from the crowd, such a bespoke front bumper with massive blacked-out mesh grilles, along with gapping intakes in the corner or the bonnet with exquisite black vents.

The black roof is complemented as well with the black racing stripe running over the bonnet. There is also the new rear with the aggressive diffuser or the deck wing for the boot lid. The rear is also highlighted by bespoke quad-outlet exhaust system which announces an impressive engine wild roar and power boost. Running on both sides are also the massive wheel arches which make way for 20-inch alloy wheels.

The cabin has received bespoke elements as well, like special Arden floor mats, custom pedals and footrest, as well as leather upholstery and Alcantara for a high-class feel.

Powering the Jaguar XE S in the stock form is a 3.0-liter supercharged V6 engine, now featuring an ECU remapping, enabling thus a fresh 342 kW and 583 Nm of torque. As for performance figures, we expect around 4.5 seconds done from a standstill to 100 km/h, given the factory 4.9 setting.

The aftermarket specialists have recently laid their eyes on the gorgeous and hot-looking F-Type SVR, tweaking it with an impressive graphic treatment with carbon fiber elements.

The whole set of customizations are part of their special program called the “Graphic Pack”, meaning as well as well a wide variety of exterior colours.

The colour palette comprises Corris Grey and Ultra Blue, Yulong White with Firenze Red accents, Santorini Black and Gold, Caldera Red and Black, as well as Indus Silver and Black.

As we can depict from the media gallery below, the Jaguar F-Type SVR Graphic Pack is more than a handful of colour choices. It is also about wearing new carbon fiber components and a couple of other mechanical goodies.

We should mention here six racing-inspired colourways, carbon fiber bonnet louvers, bespoke tread plates or commissioning plaque, as well as lightweight forged 20-inch alloy wheels.

As for performance upgrades, the Jaguar F-Type SVR Graphic Pack by JLR is showing its muscles with no less than 575 horsepower, squeezed from a supercharged V8 engine mill, which enables an acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. The impressive figure is also achieved thanks to a top speed of 200 mph.

In case you own a Jaguar F-Type SVR and want to kick asses with a mind-blowing aero package and power boost, then you will have to spend a lot of money on such extravagant features. And given the fact that the car costs £112,680 in the UK, the package might add at least £50,000. So, is it worth the whole treatment? Please comment in the section below not before taking a closer look at the media gallery below!

However, besides BMW, AC Schnitzer also like to play with other cars as well, and the new Jaguar F-Pace is that car that you would want it on the streets looking smashing with the new aero package. And the model below provides just that.

The most noticeable thing that you can instantly recognize is the new set of wheels coming in BiColor black and silver, and sized 9.0J x 22 inches on all four axles. They are also complemented with new sport suspension system which lowers the ride height with around 25 mm.

Visually, there are less components seen on BMW models, but even so, the car looks extremely menacing and aggressive. Besides the new wheels and sport suspension, the model is also offered with new tailpipes with sport exhaust system equipped with stainless steel twin silencer. Other features also refer to a new rear roof spoiler and bespoke lip at the front.

As a reminder, the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace comes with a wide range of engines under the hood, such as the 2.0-liter Ingenium turbocharged four-cylinder units, as well as the 3.0-liter V6 supercharged, hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The technicians from AC Schnitzer have also launch a video with their new project. Enjoy and the ride and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

But the model below didn’t need any awards to get the respect and appreciation it really deserves; the aftermarket specialists from Lumma Design made sure that the gorgeous SUV would make the headlines of every major auto magazine worldwide.

It looks exceptionally aggressive with the new aero kit but it sounds extremely aggressive and loud with the tuner`s new power kit, which is called the “CLR F” tuning package.

The model was first previewed early this year and with the program being complete, we now have the chance of seeing it in its plenitude.

At the exterior, the car`s look has been enhanced with the new and bespoke sport exhaust system with four tailpipes, adding as well one off forged alloy wheels, measuring 295/350ZR24 and 355/25ZR24 front and rear, respectively.

Other new styling characteristics also refer to new front bumper and rear apron, custom side skirt, rear diffuser and tailgate spoiler, sport grille surrounds and inserts and so on. The interior is also looking fresh with the one-off leather and Alcantara with aluminum and carbon-fiber and wood trims.

Under the hood, the Lumma technicians have fitted their Jaguar F-Pace with a new power kit, which raises the car`s power to a total of 480 horsepower, quite impressive than the stock 380 horsepower. It`s a pity we don’t know the performance figure yet, but we should expect fresh details later on! Meanwhile, enjoy the video below!

Even if we were used to seeing plenty of BMW products receiving the plethora of power upgrades, Hamann`s latest project to be well-received at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show, involves the outstanding F-Pace SUV from Jaguar.

As usual, when Hamann takes control, it usually involves a complete package, with modifications both outside as well as inside. And this Jaguar F-Pace seen here is no exception.

The program starts at the exterior, the Jaguar F-Pace SUV being admired in Geneva with a wide body kit, consisting of bespoke front spoiler with side skirts, fender flares and rear diffuser insert, adding as well four tailpipes for the sports exhaust system which increase`s the engine`s wild roar.

The overall design is complemented with the 22- and 23-inch Anniversary Evo II alloy wheels, finished in Hyper Silver and Graphite Gray, while the interior is also highlighted by the new pedal set, foot mats and special footrest.

Hamann`s preferred part is underneath a car`s skin, and this Jaguar F-Pace also sounds almighty with the new power kits available. We are looking here at custom free-flow exhausts and power chips. Both the F-Pace S petrol and the F-Pace 30d diesel are impressive with the new power.

The F-Pace S petrol burner is now churning out 410 horsepower and 510 Nm of torque, quite outstanding from the standard 380 horsepower and 460 Nm of torque; on the other hand, the F-Pace 30d diesel is also delivering a total of 340 horsepower and 780 Nm of torque, from the standard 300 horsepower and 780 Nm of torque.

All these attributes haven’t impressed tuners worldwide so far, the model didn’t receive the best appreciations it best deserves. Now, we get to see the aftermarket specialists from TVW Car Design Tuning adding some slight changes to the car`s design.

As we can depict from the photos below, the Jaguar F-Pace SUV comes with rather the same styling, adding however a few tweaks which enhance its aggressive look.

We are looking here at an updated suspension system courtesy of KW, which lowers the car`s ride height by 40 mm, adding the new set of BBS SV Black Diamond wheels, with 20 x 9 inches on all axles, and wrapped in Continental tires.

At the rear end, this custom-built Jaguar F-Pace SUV has received the high-performance Akrapovic exhaust system with chrome and carbon tailpipes. From what we know, the Akrapovic system hasn’t enhanced the car`s performance under the hood.

As a reminder, the 2017 Jaguar F-Pace comes with a wide range of engines under the hood, such as the 2.0-liter Ingenium turbocharged four-cylinder units, as well as the 3.0-liter V6 supercharged, hooked to an eight-speed automatic transmission.

The customized Jaguar F-Pace SUV can be best admired in the media gallery below. Enjoy the ride and don’t forget to share your opinions with us!

In the stock form, the Jaguar XF comes fitted with the 3.0-liter V6 unit, developing 274 horsepower and 600 Nm of torque. But TDI-Tuning has installed the CRTD2 Channel Digital Diesel Tuning Box with Boost control, which raises its power to 344 horsepower and 696 Nm of torque.

Thanks to the Tuning Box, the Jaguar XF is now capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds, which makes it as fast as the BMW 5-Series 535d.

The TDI-Tuning is legendary in customizing a lot of Jaguar models, especially XFs, so instead of selling or trading your older version, you`d better knock down the door of the TDI-Tuning`s shop.

Graeme King, the CEO at TDI-Tuning has also stated that not only the petrol-based premium brands should benefit such a particular treatment, as “fuel economy and performance are no longer mutually exclusive, and owners still look for ways to improve both.”

We are talking here about a body style kit with some slight changes, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe receiving a new front bumper add-on with the new side-wings from high-gloss lacquered carbon, new side skirts and diffuser and a few more.

For increased performance, the body of the sports car has also received a height adjustable coil over spring, which has lowered the sports car by up to 30 mm, the 90-mm exhaust tips, or the 21-inch high-gloss silver wheels with the Yokoma tires.

Under the hood, the Jaguar F-Type R Coupe has not received any upgrades, the sports car still keeping the 5.0-liter V8 supercharged unit, with 550 horsepower and 680 Nm of torque, meaning that the car is capable of sprinting from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds, at a topping of 300 km/h.

The new 20-inch MP1 monoblock alloy wheels will also catch your eye while the 90mm exhaust tips and the stainless steel grille inserts complete the styling offering.

Interior upgrades are minor but the open-top F-Type gets a new system that lets the driver to operate the roof very easily.

It is called Comfort Varioroof Module and lets man behind the steering wheel to control the roof by using new buttons on the key fob.

All in all, Piecha Design’s Jaguar F-Type package comes to make the British car more appealing to potential customers. It doesn’t bring impressive tweaks but has enough modifications to turn your head when you see it on the street.
