Lister Is Planning A 7.8-Litre V12-Engined Hypercar Called 'Storm II'
Lister is planning to revive the old Storm name it used in the 1990s for a brand new 250mph hypercar. The Storm II will launch to 62mph in under 3.0 seconds and almost be fighting with the Bugatti Chiron for top speed bragging rights… or at least it will if it actually happens.
Company owner Lawrence Whittaker has tweeted this picture of the Storm II concept close to a Lister Knobbly sports car, highlighting the brand’s heritage. More recently, as well as the Knobbly road car, Lister has produced a 666bhp Jaguar F-Type – with a 666bhp F-Pace SUV to follow.
Whittaker reportedly wants to build a company that works in a similar way to Pagani and Koenigsegg, producing very small numbers of hyper-exclusive hypercars. The Storm II would be the first serious step on that road.
Reports suggest a 7.8-litre Jaguar-derived V12 could provide the power, although exactly how this engine would come about is so far unknown outside the company.
The original Storm was a true small-scale oddball, looking like a weird kit car and powered by a bonkers 7.0-litre Jaguar V12. It was, Lister claims, the fastest four-seater in the world for 10 years.

Heavy N/A breathing
Finally, a car to the take the McLaren F1’s place as the fastest naturally aspirated car
Lack of inspiration Lister? They really are taking on Bugatti, down to the design…
That, and the Jaguar C-X75 as well
Wtf it looks like they used the exact same freaking image. Like the light reflections and stuff are exactly the same on the rear wheel especially!
Wait they look photoshopped straight off the Chiron lol
“who wore it better?”
Well I guess you can say this car is the perfect storm XD
Well, they won’t become the British Pagani unless they release a few hundred special editions. I think Lotus have quite a tight grip on that title…
You know Lister’s a bit edgy when they come up with Jags that have 666bhp.
The Storm II I have a feeling, will be the kind of car that will intentionally try to kill you and laugh at you while you try to fight for control. My kind of car, in other words.
WOOOOHOOOO. NEW QUICK CAR WHICH ISN’T GOING TO BE ELECTRIC, BUT INSTEAD A V12. I’M SO PROUD OF LISTER.
Storm 2
Knowing sequels it’ll be a box office bomb(wait it’s a car?! Oh ok) screw what I just said
