TWR Supercat: Is this what the Jaguar XJ-S should always have been?

In 1975, the Jaguar XJ-S was launched with the subtitle “a black day for Modena Stuttgart and Turin,” hinting at their hope that their new car would beat Ferrari and Porsche at their own game. However, they hardly noticed, and for many years the Jaguar had a rather troubled life, and many even to this day find the car almost disappointing. Here is the solution! In this film, we explore the TWR Supercat — a restomod of the legendary Jaguar XJ-S, created not as a replica of the past, but as a bold reincarnation of what the car could have been. Born from the racing heritage of Tom Walkinshaw and brought to life by his son Fergus Walkinshaw, along with designer Khyzyl Saleem and Magnus Walker, the Supercat reimagines the XJ-S as a super-GT restomod you never saw coming. From its supercharged V12 engine to its carbon-fibre bodywork, from aerodynamics to chassis development, every choice reflects a vision of what the XJ-S could have been. This isn’t about restoring the past— it's about being reborn. Selected Car Investment makes it easier than ever to find your next collectible car.
