It’s been
over a year since anybody has heard anything new about the Jaguar E Type-based
Lyonheart K stunner. Fortunately, the Coventry-based manufacturer is back with
fresh news about their very good looking ride. Apparently they will offer two
variants of the Lyonheart K – convertible and coupe
Inspired by
the 1960s’ E Class, the sports car features an aluminum multilink chassis and
it was engineered as well as built by Envisage Group, UK. The design concept
belongs to Bo Zolland and Robert Palm, founder of Classic Factory in
Switzerland. Since the first appearance of the car back in 2012, some specifications
have been changed for extra appeal.
These
include 17 extra bhp, up from 550 bhp, and a torque of 516 lb-ft. The
supercharged, 5.0-liter V8 engine can push the luxury runner to a top speed of
186 mph, while the 0-62 mph time is under 4 seconds. Depending on the body type
and specifications that the client needs, the sultry Lyonheart K can be
delivered to its buyer in 18-24 months.
Apparently
only 250 units are scheduled for production for quite a long period of time:
from December 2013 until summer 2015. The very exclusive vehicle will boast a
quite prohibitive price as well: €360,000 (approx. $463,000) for the coupe
version, and €375,000 ($483,000) for the convertible. Half of all units will be
sold across Europe, 30 percent in China, and the remaining 20 percent in the
Middle East. Looks like there is nothing for the US market just yet.
