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.
