"The Lyonheart K is an all-new, truly British luxury sports car, which has been launched today. Classic Factory, the Swiss design company, enjoyed success with its modern interpretation of the legendary Jaguar E-Type, designed by Robert Palm in collaboration with Bo Zolland (http://www.gtspirit.com/2011/02/22/the-growler-e-2011-celebrating-the-jaguar-e-type/). In order to meet customer demand, decision was taken to build a limited series of the wonderful car.
The 5.0 liter Supercharged V8 delivers 550hp and 680Nm of torque. Carbon fiber panels cover an aluminium chassis, keeping the weight below 1,600kg. The Lyonheart K reaches 100km/h in under four seconds and tops 300km/h (electronically limited).

Lyonheart’s design philosophy is simple, use only genuine materials: carbon fiber, leather, veneer, polished stainless steel, brushed aluminium and chromed metal, nothing else. The aluminium engine is fitted under the traditional, front-hinged clamshell bonnet.
The Lyonheart K is entirely hand-built in Coventry by a new company named: Lyonheart Cars Ltd. The order books for the fifty first Lyonheart K cars are now open at a basic price of EUR 495,000 (without taxes). The estimated delivery time is 18 months."

"Average delivery time is 18 months.............because we spend 17 months buffering and polishing and west sanding and buffing and polishing"

Its so reflective I saw how I was going to die in the future.

18 months...IIRC that's 80% less time than a lat-g build takes, right?

Very gorgeous car!

[Sieg]

Very Nice!

Is it just me.........the sharp points of the front headlight covers don't blend with the rest of the masterpiece. The rears appear to have a very slight radius.

Not just you Sieg.

So many cars have gone to that shape and they especially don't flatter on this one.

It's British... doesn't that mean it will break down on the way home from the lot? :peepwall:

Pure sex. I always wondered what would happen if a Maserati got an E-type pregnant

....Lyonheart K cars are now open at a basic price of EUR 495,000 (without taxes).

That converts to USD in the amount of $635k. While it is a damn beautiful car, I'd have to take my $635k somewhere else and probably still have some money left over. Something like a Spyker, Ferrari 458 or Lamborghini. Just me though.

At first I thought Jaguar was building this.

But that would have made too much sense.

Thanks Ron.

Its nice but weird at the same time.

I still vote 69 mustang fastback in black for nicest car in the cosmos, or universe, or, whatever might be outside of that.:headspin:

[Tim M]

Reminds me a lot of the Ford "Cougar II"
Maybe someone can post a pic of that car...I don't have the brainpower today!

[Steve Chryssos]

It's nice lookin', but I have no respect for companies that make "major launches" with nothing but renderings. No prototype, no performance testing, no inventory. No nuthin'. :sieg:

I don't get the wires. Super crisp looking- then wires? lol

Never like the E types after working on one a few times, but I always like peeping a concept someone wants to loose a fortune on lol

[fleetus macmullitz]

Yeah, likely this ain't a 'wires' crowd.

This fellow is though.

ERIC CLAPTON - 1932 FORD 4 DOOR VICKY

"Now we know what you're saying, there is no such thing as a 1932 4-door Vicky. Well, a few years ago we built Eric a Deuce Vicky (http://www.roybriziostreetrods.com/progress/clapton32/index.htm). He loved the body style so much; he wanted a 4-door version. The kids are getting a little older and a little bigger, and climbing over the front seat to get into the back is a hassle. So here comes the challenge, to make all the necessary modifications to make it look like it came off Henry's assembly line. Follow the progress and see if we hit the mark."

[NOPANTS68]

I love wires. I love them on that Vicky and I love Borranis on an old Ferrari. Wires on a concept Jag-ish kinda thing? I don't get it.

At first I thought, 'huh?'

On some cars they work for me as well.

If they ever build one, something different may be on it of course.

It looks nice and all, but where are the cup holders?

[Boss 5.0]

Stunning!

[frankenstang]

No time to drink in car. Too busy telling people WTH it is and then having to rub off the fingerprints and drool. Preferably using a baby diaper made from angel hair.

Beautiful car.
