S Little Britain: Lyon Heart wants to be exclusive to the limited edition of 250 vehicles as a series known British sports car. The basis of this is the Jaguar XKR-S |
Lyon Heart K - Quick strong heart, strong and expensive-these are some of the British supercar. A small manufacturer is still on it slightly.
Exclusive than Jaguar, Aston Martin or Bentley to be a new British supercar: The Lyon Heart K is more than a retro classic.
Visually, the low-volume declines, while based on the legendary Jaguar E-Type with a flat hood and the rear end is pulled upwards. Even the wheels speak this language. But the base is a Jaguar XKR-S and it will total only 250 vehicles emerge.
Carbon fiber, aluminum, power
Under the sleek carbon fiber skin right in the aluminum chassis the mighty 5.0-liter V8 with 422 kW/575 hp heart beats and 700 Nm of torque.
A six-speed automatic transmission transfers power to the rear wheels. The engine is lightweight with less than 1.6 tonnes unladen weight game catapults the two-seater to 100 km in 3.9 seconds, top speed is 300 km / h - and there is limited electronically.
"Growler E" as a template
The car originated from the idea of a Swiss businessman. He wanted a new interpretation of his favorite Jaguar E-Type and commissioned the designer Bo Zolland and Robert Palm. This conceived the "Growler E" - Presentation on the Geneva Motor Show in 2011 - although as unique, but the response was so great that they were persuaded to a small series. So much power and exclusivity of course costs: at least 476,000 euros solvent customers have to spend, so the racer rolls 2014 to them.
