well on the subject of this new lister GT1 being based on a jaguar they would maybe base it off the new XK coupe and heavily modify it to a lister or new car?, seems lister have always had a long and ongoing relationship with jaguar so i would think that a silhouette jag XK would be used or the new car will atleast have something do with jaguar lol, always does

I think lister would do a superb move by switching to GT1. This because I expect there will be a drop in competitiveness in about 2 to 4 years in GT1.
First does anyone here expect Corvette to be around as a factory entry in 4 years? I don't. In about two or three years the privateers will take over the corvette's and like happened with the Vipers: in another two or three years after retiring they're not fast enough anymore. Same and even more at the Aston story. I expect the fund to be dropped very soon and there are only privateers next year. There won't be another prodrive after the 550 and the DBR9 because Prodrive's move to F1. Then the current Salleen revival and the Masserati's competitiveness will end also in two years from now and what do we have left then? LISTER with a new car. All new brands are turning to prototypes (Peugeot, Porsche, Acura and a bit Mazda) so there will be a chance for brands like Lister to try on GT1. The only thing they have to do is take a longggg time (2/3 years) to design a car that's faster than the Aston (it won't be improved) and second hope, hope and hope that Corvette will retire in about two years as a factory entry so that development will also quit in about one or two years. Then in three years time the only oponents for Lister with their new car will be some old privateer Corvette's, Aston's and far of pace (3 years time) Salleens and Masserati's |

i seem to remember that if they had the money or an investor, a new road car would be possible?
But then again, the new XK probably makes more sense, with some engine from america, considering the XK is a ford parts bin oh god, just had a thought. a diesel!!!!!!!. would suit their black colour scheme. is it possible under the rules? Last edited by DanJR1; 14 Jun 2006 at 23:38. |

Slightly more info on DSC:
- It'll be a 4-litre turbo engine - It'll be based on a car from another manufacturer but will be rebuilt to be a proper Lister - The budget Mr. Pearce will have is 10 to 20 times bigger than he ever had before, so the project will be really high profile. Rather interesting if you ask me, wich 4-litre turbo cars are there around to base a GT1 on? |

The Koenigseggs have a supercharged 4.7 V8. And the new Jaguar XKR will have a supercharged 4.2 V8. Maybe one of the upcoming Japanese supercars: Nissan/Infiniti GT-R (Skyline successor; engine rumor say between 3.5-3.8 twin-turbo V6) or Lexus LF-A (Supra successor; suppossed to get 5.0 V10). |

I dont understand what pearce said " it will be a car from another manufacturer , but it will be a Lister" .
It will be what it is homologeted as , i think ? How can he call something a Lister , if its homologated as something else ? Why would somebody build a car , and let Lister call it something else ? Or have i missed something ? |

Last time I check the GT1 rules did not contain restrictor size for diesel engines
Maybe the 4.0 V8 FSI biturbo from the Bentley Speed 8 |

...yet..... If the ACO were asked, do you not think that they would support this? Sounds like it is well funded. I wonder if the people funding might have some influence? |

If the budget is really huge, some manufacturer should be involved. But then I don't understand why it will be a Lister car and not race version of an existing car... |

I am sure it's a private project and probably funded by a rich person who wants an "own" car. It would surprise me if he has backing from a car manufacturer.
But isn't a turbo engine more restricted then a n.a. engine an therefore less suited for GT racing? I hope it's a Jaguar XK with a 4L supercharged V8 engine. Last edited by FIRE; 15 Jun 2006 at 16:24. |
