Description

Introducing the renowned 'JD Sport GT,' now accepting orders for a truly customized experience. Choose between right-hand drive (RHD) or left-hand drive (LHD), and opt for the elegant Coupe or the exhilarating OTS model.

Embodying the essence of a genuine continental GT car, this classic Jaguar effortlessly combines power, luxury, and bespoke craftsmanship. Picture yourself cruising from London to St. Tropez, enveloped in opulence and comfort. The JD Sport GT boasts a reliable and race-proven engine, harnessing nearly 400BHP from its 4. 7 litres and delivering over 400 ft lb of torque. It stands tall among the most powerful and accomplished sports cars on the market.

Beyond its remarkable performance and stopping power—courtesy of ventilated disc brakes with six-pot calipers in the front and four-pot calipers in the rear—the WM Sport GT exudes unrivaled bespoke construction. Lavish leather and Alcantara trim grace the interior, while the custom-made seats strike a perfect balance between classic aesthetics and body-hugging contours, ensuring supreme comfort. The chunky, period-looking steering wheel sits conveniently above a tailor-made pedal box and discreet inertia reel seatbelts, crafting an ideal driving environment. During pit stops, the leather-trimmed underfloor storage compartment is the ideal solution for on-the-road refreshments.

Underneath the hood, a classic wide-angle Jaguar cylinder head crowns a 4. 7-litre block. Addressing the breathing requirements are three side draft Weber 48 DCOE carburetors and a performance air filter, while a white ceramic-coated manifold leads to a fully custom-built exhaust system featuring polished tailpipes. Power is seamlessly transmitted via JD Classics's own 5-speed gearbox and PowerloK LSD. A host of other unique under-bonnet details culminate in an extraordinary engine bay. Handling is enhanced by fully adjustable Gaz coil-over dampers and racing anti-roll bars, providing a surefooted experience with the expected comfort levels in a car of this caliber.

Poised on 15-inch Dunlop racing-style wheels and Avon tires, the body has been subtly widened to accommodate the increased wheel width, granting the car dimensions akin to the legendary lightweight racing E-Types. Unburdened by overriders, the bespoke chrome work lends the car an assertive stance, leaving onlookers acutely aware of its high-performance nature.

- 4. 7-liter engine with a wide-angle head, bespoke internals, and three 48 DCOE Webber carburetors, delivering approximately 400 bhp
