Lister

The Lister Knobbly is one of the most famous race cars in British motorsports. Now over 60 years later, it’s due to make a return according to a tweet by Lister’s owner Lawrence Whittaker.

Longtime fans of the Gran Turismo series will recognize the Lister Storm almost immediately. However, outside the game, it’s mostly a forgotten race car. That’s why for this week Want, we’re taking a look at one of the best-preserved examples around.

There’s a new member of the 200mph club on the way, and it’s not quite what you’d expect.

When Lister unveiled its new Thunder earlier this year, there wasn’t as much excitement as you’d expect. As “just” a 666hp Jaguar F-Type, it wasn’t the company resurrection many may have hoped for. Even with a 208mph top speed.

February can be a quiet time in the world of cars. January’s NAIAS show set the stage for the year in North America, while the Europe market is waiting for Geneva.

It looks like 2018 will see the return of a famous old car brand. Lister Cars, based in Cambridge in the UK, hasn’t produced a new car in almost 25 years, but it’s on its way back.
