    Lister Thunder Gets Lighter Body And New Name Ahead Of Deliveries

    The Lister Thunder is a 666 bhp (497 kW) Jaguar F-Type and when it was announced 22 out of the 99 production units sold in the very first day.

    The first customer is expected to take delivery of their potent British beast on the 1st of October but they will not receive a car called Thunder. It has been renamed the LT-666 making reference to the 666 brake horsepower it pushes out but if I was one of the customers I would not be very happy as ‘Thunder’ is MUCH cooler.

    This is the new name of the car, announced by the company on Wednesday. Lister justifies its decision on the fact that Thunder was only the name of the prototype, and for the sake of “future model lineage” all 99 cars will be called LFT-666.

    LFT stands for Lister F-Type and as mentioned the 666 makes reference to the power output but this model doesn’t only get a new name as it has received some other modifications too.

    The biggest of them all is the use of exclusive carbon fibre body panels to replace the existing glass-reinforced plastic parts which managed to bring the weight of the car down (unspecified) and make it more aerodynamic.

    When it was announced it carried a price tag of  but that did not include all the tweaks and additions which can now be included. Click here for the entire list of options and their prices (and they are quite something).

    • Aston Martin calls it the 'fastest luxury SUV in the world' and 'the supercar of SUVs' but is the DBX707 worth all this hype?

It is the fastest and most powerful SUV you can currently buy (order) in SA so there is that but the reality today is that the 707 will have to dice with the Urus, the Bentayga Speed, and the Cayenne Turbo GT for hearts, minds, and wallets.

Aston estimates 65% of DBX sales going forward will be this 697 hp (520 kW) and 900Nm variant and after driving it, this might be an underestimate. If the regular DBX is in your price range, then you can almost certainly afford a DBX707.

It can hit 100 km/h in 3.3s and go to a ridiculous 310 km/h so, of course, it is properly quick but it is just as impressive when the roads get twistier and it instils an enormous amount of confidence in the driver.

If you fancy snapping up this contender for the Super SUV king title, you are going to need at least R5m making it significantly more expensive than the Lambo and Porsche counterparts but you will be driving something a lot more rare which could be the reason you hand your money to Aston Martin.

What do you all think?

    • The new BMW M240i xDrive barely puts a foot wrong. The price is right, it's crushingly quick, more than practical enough to daily and if you only look at the front, it is very easy on the eye 😉 

It pulls properly hard, doesn’t feel turbocharged in its response, and delivers thrills when you want them. The extra confidence and pace afforded by the sweet pairing of the straight-six petrol engine and the rear-biased xDrive AWD system make the M240i an enticing proposition all of its own.

If you gave any BMW fan a wish list and asked them to build the perfect car given the company's current resources, it probably wouldn't be too far off this one.
