Why it matters
The Storm was built by Lister Cars of Leatherhead as a front-engined V12 2+2 for the GT1 class at Le Mans, with road versions for homologation. Only four road cars were made, and for a time it was billed as the world's fastest four-seater road car.

History
Lister, known for modified Jaguar XJ-Ss, created the Storm under Laurence Pearce as a GT1 entrant with road-going homologation cars, priced at £450,000 new. The road versions were made in 1993–1994 with a twin-supercharged 7-litre V12. The racing Storm managed only 40 laps on its 1995 Le Mans debut but later won the FIA GT team championship in 2000 before retiring in 2006. Three of the four road cars are believed to survive.
