Jaguar XJS To Be Reimagined By Magnus Walker And Khyzyl Saleem As TWR Returns

Magnus Walker is one of the most interesting characters in the automotive space today, having risen to fame thanks to his well-known love for vintage 911s and his acute eye for how to customize them. His creations are understated works of art that blend his personal style with the iconic Porsche silhouette, creating vehicles that are highly sought-after in the automotive community.

He’s the exact person you want in your corner on a project like this, and it appears he’s taken a very hands-on approach to the project. Brought on officially as a Design Consultant, he’s already expanded that role by finding suppliers, advising on the powertrain, and even helping to craft the feel of the car.

“I was approached by TWR to do something I actually want to do: to build on the XJS,” Walker said. “The original TWR put Jaguar on the map in the late ’70s, ’80s, and into the ’90s. TWR was a racing division of Jaguar and did so much more. TWR explained the project, which was just what I was looking to do, and I was in. The stars aligned perfectly.”
