Lister Portfolio

It can be argued that the Laurence Pearce custodianship of the Lister brand produced its most successful era in racing.

Approximately 90 tuned Jaguar Le Mans were produced, the emphasis being very much on supercar performance.

The Lister Storm was officially launched at Earl’s Court in 1993, and the first one was sold straight off the stand, to the Sultan of Brunei. With 546bhp, 583lb-ft of torque, a Motec management system, a weight of 3,668lb and a drag co-efficient of 0.35cd, the Lister Storm had a top speed of almost 208mph and 0-60mph in just 4.1 seconds, making the Storm a fitting contender for the Le Mans 24 Hours.
