Legendary firm, known for building the Jaguar XJ220, vows to build "analogue" performance cars
Legendary British motorsport outfit TWR has outlined plans to return as a “world-class constructor of bespoke high performance automobiles”, using the same famous initials as founder Tom Walkinshaw’s original racing and automotive engineering business. Launched in Newbury, Berkshire by Fergus Walkinshaw, son of Tom, the new company will aim to channel the spirit, drive and ethos of the original Oxfordshire company.
"There’s a big difference. We aim to build truly impressive and innovative automobiles, unconstrained by the rulebooks and the styling demands of OEMs.” Tom Walkinshaw Racing, the original business, was founded in Kidlington in 1975, and scored impressive successes in the road and racing business before folding in 2002 after what turned out to be an ill-advised association with the Arrows F1 team. Walkinshaw senior died in 2010 at 64 after a cancer battle.
