The history of Lister Cars in England goes back 40 years in GT racing. Currently they're building the Storm, a Jaguar V12 engined supersportcar claimed to be capable of 200 mph (320+ km/h) and can carry not just four adults, but a complete set of golf clubs and trolley. Sounds fascinating dosen't it?
Just don't take a look at the price tag: 219,750 pounds. It's 70,000 more than a Ferrari 456 GT but this car is far more exclusive: only a dozen or so leaves the Leatherhead factory every year.
Laurence Pearce, leader of Lister Cars started to realise his dreamcar in 1991.
 

"We started off with the engine dimensions as the main reference points. Then the windscreen position was added; that gave us the location of the A and B-post. After that we dropped the gearbox in and put the outer shape on. Having determined these vital points, it was essentially a question of seeing where the rest would go." - said Pearce.
