This is the absolutely wild 1994 Lister Storm, 1 of just 4 ever built, and 1 of 3 left in existence to this day. This is a true homologated race car which was manufactured by low-production British automobile company, Lister Cars. The Lister Storm utilized the largest V12 engine fitted to any production car since world war 2, a 7.0L Jaguar V12, which was based of the Jaguar XJR-9 that competed in the 24 hours of Le Mans. Due to high pricing for the road-going variants of the Lister Storm, only 4 total examples were ever built for the entire world. The Lister Motor Company Ltd. was founded in 1954 by Brian Lister and the group quickly gained popularity due to their success and involvement in motorsport. The Storm was designed by Mike Hughes, and a number of racing variations were built including the Lister Storm GTS which debuted at the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans, the revised Storm GTL which made it’s first appearance during the 1997 24 Hours of Daytona, and the Lister Storm GT, which managed to win the GT2 Category during the 1999 British GT championship. The Storm model had many other successful moments throughout it’s career in the track, including another win at the Interactive Sportscar Championship of 2001. By the year 2007, no variations of the Storm were racing on the track any longer. In 2014 Lister came back to life and built 10 continuation Lister Jaguar Knobblys to celebrate Lister’s 60th anniversary. Out of the 4 total Lister Storm road cars built this car finished in dark metallic green is simply one of the best looking machines on the road. The race-going version of the Lister Storm was used in races such as the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 24 Hours of Daytona, and the Sebring 12-Hour, but it’s the road car that truly is mesmerizing from every angle.
