You sure remember the Vizualtech’s virtual modern-day Jaguar E-Type, which they call the Growler. Apparently they’ve received so many positive feedback that they decided to make it, although in a strictly limited run.
The Growler design study was too good to remain inside a computer forever. It is a great decision to put it into production and there are many people ready to pay big money for it. Plus, it’s not going to be a terribly hard job for them to make this car since it is based on the Jaguar XKR.
The body of course will entirely handmade out of composite materials and will be bolted to a carbon fiber chassis. The engine and drive-train come straight form the XKR. The Supercharged V8 will be tweaked to develop 600 bhp.
As for the price, since it’s a bespoke sportscar you can be sure. If they make only a few it could cost in the neighborhood of a million dollar! If they receive many orders then they might contract a coachbuilder to make it. In that case the price could shrink to half.
