Growler E 2011 by Vizualtech honors Jaguar's E-Type - Top Speed (http://www.topspeed.com/cars/car-news/growler-e-2011-by-vizualtech-honors-jaguar-s-e-type-ar105430.html)
Based on the Jaguar XKR with a supercharged 5.0 Liter V8, the Growler E 2011 Concept produces 600 hp instead of the 510 hp of the XKR, thanks to engine remapping. The composite body is glued on a chassis made of a central carbon fibre core, on which two tubular frames are bolted at the front and rear, supporting engine, steering, transmission and suspensions. The majority of the components and the interior gear are taken from the Jaguar XKR. Thanks to a lighter chassis, the weight is only 1550 kg, about 200 kg less than the Jaguar XKR, which serves as technical basis.
If you read the update in the article, they're actually going into production with this car with an initial run of 4 cars, since each one takes 6 months to build, all handmade.
