Lister Cars from Great Britain is a small sportscar manufacturer founded in 1954 by Brian Lister. After some succesful sportscar races with own cars but engines from MG, Chevrolet, Bristol and Jaguar, the production was stopped in 1963 after the only Lister Coup\u00e9 failed to finish in Le Mans. 23 years later Laurence Pearce revived the company and built tuning kits for Jaguar models, specially for the XJ-S. They sold about 100 cars and got enough money out of them to develop an own supercar which debuted at the 1993 London Motor Show as the Lister Storm.

Against typical sportscar concepts of that time the Storm is 2+2 seater with engine on top of the front axle. This powerplant comes from Jaguar and developes 407 kW\/553 PS and a maximum torque of 790 newtonmeters from 12 cylinders and seven liters of displacement. A manual six-speed gearbox from Getrag that was originally developed for the BMW 850i transmits the power to the rear wheels. At full acceleration the car reaches 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and 100 mph in 11 seconds as well as a topspeed of 208 mph. It was the fastest four-seater in the world for a long time. Kerb weight is said to be 1,664 kilograms. A fully adjustable suspension setup with double wishbones all around shows technical closeness to motorsports.<\/p>\n\n\n
