In early 2018, a reborn Lister revealed the LFT-666 that was
based on the Jaguar F-Type and the company's first sports car since the 1993
Storm. The British tuning company announced Wednesday plans to pop the car's
top with the LFT-C.
The LFT-C will share all of its performance upgrades with
the LFT-666 coupe, including its Lister-tuned 5.0-liter supercharged V-8. As
the car's name implies, it makes 666 horsepower, which helps it reach a top
speed of 208 mph. The convertible will have a top speed of 205 mph and clock a
0-62 mph sprint in just over three seconds. Some may recall Lister first
unveiled the tuned F-Type as the Lister Thunder, but the
company shifted
to alphanumerics later in 2018.
Other improvements the LFT-C shares with the LFT-666 are
specifically designed carbon-fiber body parts. Lister hasn't
specified how much weight they shave, or how they affect aerodynamics, but the
convertible gains a carbon-fiber front bumper and splitter, rear diffuser, lip
spoiler, and wheel arches. There's also a tweaked grille design from the
regular F-Type and both the LFT-666 and LFT-C ride on lightweight alloy wheels
wrapped in Michelin tires.
Aside from the power increase, the LFT-C gains a bespoke
exhaust system to unleash more of the supercharged V-8's growl. Also new to the
car are specific braking and suspension systems.
Customers will have the chance to specify nearly every
component of the car from the exterior color, to wheel designs, and the
interior colors. Each car features nappa leather sourced from the United
Kingdom and all of the finishings are hand-stitched. Lister underscored there's
a nearly unlimited options list for buyers to choose from when specifying a
car.
While the LFT-666 was limited to 99 cars, the LFT-C will be
a rare sight; the British tuner only plans to build 10 of them. Prices start at
$183,000 based on current exchange rates. For those who like the coupe, they're
sold out for 2019, but Lister will gladly take orders for 2020 production.
