Lucra LC470? pretty cool car

[MPTech]

Have you seen these? I think he said it was based on a Lotus with an LS7 pumping out about 600hp. Not as good looking as a roadster, but they are pretty bad-ass.

I always did like those Lister Jags.
I also like the C-Types and the D-Types.
All remarkable cars from the 1950s.

The Iconic 1961 E-type - The most beautiful car I have ever seen.

Before I was into Cobras, I was into Jags.
I actually went to a dealer in Scottsdale with a check in hand to buy the 1967 Series 1.5 E-Type. It was way overpriced for the condition.

Also did you know, it's been said that Harley Earl was so inspired by the Jaguar XK120 - that he designed the 1953 Corvette.

Plus, don't forget the one and ONLY XJ13 - only 1 produced.

Just a little car-pron for a Sunday night.
Cheers.

I thought he said Lotus, but I bet you are correct, looks more like a "Lister".
Yep, those are beautiful cars!
I always thought the Jag were sporty and elegant looking. Cool cars.

I just reviewed their site.
Really nice product.
I'm going to contact them about RunNGun.
If they come - they might clean house.

Very cool car, especially with the 600+ HP.

I saw a couple of issues:
1. They are using the Ford PBR calipers up front and Single piston in the back. Not what I would expect from a $120k carbon fiber car.
2. There is not a single piece of metal aft of the fuel cell, which sits within 6" of your head. That is a fireball waiting to happen. This alone would exclude it from any major racing venue.
3. They are using a 315 Nitto NT01 for a tire. I doubt it will hook 600-800 hp. It is about as good as you can get for a streetable tire, but won't like 800 hp.
4. Pro shocks..same issue as #1
5. At least they put the right motor in it!
6. The side bars look like they will only protect your legs, the rest of you just gets sheared off.
7. I am suprised they can get away with 180# springs up front. I use 700# and have come close to bottoming them.


Mark that XJ13 is really cool. It would make for a nice replica.

There's a C-Type that runs around Eureka. It's right hand drive, BRG color. The guy dons the leather aviator cap and goggles. One of these days I'm going to chase him down and check it out.
