This genuine TWR 6 litre XJR-S is available for sale. These ‘factory’ XJR-Ss are quite rare, and in this condition very rare indeed. The TWR-modified 6 litre V12 engine produces significantly more power than the contemporary Jaguar V12, and incorporates sequential fuel injection and electronic, mapped ignition. This Arctic Blue example has the full TWR body modifications, including boot wing, integrated bumpers and sill skirts. Inside, the cream interior has the special TWR Momo steering wheel. The car has an electric sunroof. The headlining and American Burr Walnut wood veneers were renewed in 2015. The suspension is uprated with stronger springs, beefier anti-roll bar, and wider wheels.
This car has been subject to a KWE part-restoration and a full KWE suspension/brakes/steering upgrade in 2015, and a careful check-over with rust repairs by KWE in September 2021. The exhaust system is a custom stainless steel design with the correct true quad tail pipes. There is a downloadable full list of works carried out by KWE here.
The Honda Civic Type R FK8 is a truly exceptional machine – it delivers astonishing performance coupled with a sublime chassis, and it is, without a doubt, one of the greatest modern hot hatches.
