Lyonheart K

The Lyonheart K is a British built sports car based on Jaguar XK running gear. The K is yet to be unveiled to the public and is a development of the 2011 concept Vizualtech Growler E and is a reinterpretation of the Jaguar E-Type.[1] The K is to be manufactured in Coventry by the newly created Lyonheart Cars company which is owned by Swiss based Classic Factory with the first deliveries not expected until mid-2014. Up until late 2015 there was no evidence that the company got near building neither a prototype or any other touchable or viewable artefact. This design exists solely as computer generated 3D images.

The Lyonheart K has a kerb weight of 1,575 kg (3,472 lb), is 4,749 mm (187.0 in) long, 1,893 mm (74.5 in) wide and 1,289 mm (50.7 in) high and sits on a wheelbase of 2,752 mm (108.3 in).[2]
