A twin-supercharged V12 with a manual? Oh yeah.
UK-based Lister Motor Company has been modifying Jaguars for years. It even unleashed its own homologated bespoke GT sports car, the Lister Storm, in 1993. Those who ve kept tabs on the company have seen its latest creations, including the Jaguar F-Pace SVR-based 666-horsepower Lister Stealth and the equally powerful F-Type convertible, the LFT 666. But there s another absolutely wild creation that needs to be shown because many readers may not have been born when it was revealed.
The 1990 Lister MKIII Le Mans is a heavily modified Jaguar XKS with a bored-out 7.0-liter V12 engine paired to two (that s right, two) superchargers for a total of 604 hp. Oh, and this twin-supercharged V12 Jag is has a six-speed manual.

A lorry driver from Newmarket said winning a £110,00 Jaguar and £70,000 cash in the Best of The Best competition will be life-changing .
Robert Kwiatkowski, from Newmarket, was just about to start his shift when Best of The Best s Christian Williams video-called to tell him he was the lucky winner of the online dream car competition.
Mr Kwiatkowski could not believe what had happened, adding: Things like this don t just happen to people like me. My BMW broke down on me earlier this week and I was trying to get it repaired, it was going to cost me a fortune. But I can forget about that now.
It’s a rather well known fact that the new generation BMW X6 M Competition model is seriously fast in a straight line. Even in an age of incredibly fast SUVs coming from almost every brand, the BMW X6 M still manages to impress with its outrageous performance figures, especially from a dig, when its launch control and sticky tires can put its power down.
However, BMW isn’t the only company out there betting big on this segment. Other car makers are keeping up as well while others need tuners to match or beat this kind of performance. The video below features a car of the latter category, a Jaguar F-Pace SVR. You might be disappointed at first, thinking that the F-Pace can’t possibly keep up with the X6 M Competition but, mind you, this is a tuned car.
