British motorsport icon and sports car manufacturer Lister Cars has been making incredible rides since its inception in the early ’50s, but the latest, the Lister Thunder, is our favorite vehicle to wear the badge. The recently released Lister Thunder is a bespoke sports car, but we’ll forgive you for thinking it looks a lot like a Jaguar F-Type, as that’s the platform the Thunder is built on. That said, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill collection of upgrades with a new badge. The 5.0-liter supercharged V8 has been tuned to produce a “devilish 666 bhp” and 720 lb-ft of torque that rocket the Thunder to its top speed of 208 mph through a 0-60 time of just over 3 seconds. Lister also saw fit to upgrade suspension, brakes, wheels and tires, cooling and paint, along with giving the Thunder a bespoke leather interior that can be customized to your preferences with over thirty different colors. This is one menacing automobile.
