“Ever since the original TWR closed its doors I have longed to find a way to continue the family legacy,” Fergus Walkinshaw said.
“This new generation of TWR is first and foremost an engineering company that will make cars, rather than a car maker doing engineering. And that’s an important distinction. We will make use of cutting-edge technology, combining new expertise with traditional craft to build world-class products that make a statement of what this new TWR is all about. We aim to build some truly impressive and innovative automobiles, unconstrained by the rulebooks and styling demands of OEMs.
“We have scoured the performance and motorsport engineering worlds to assemble an incredibly talented technical team, including some members who were part of the original TWR, which just adds to our depth of knowledge and expertise. It’s from this base that TWR can push forward for a bright new future.”
The plan is to ‘work with class-leading brands’ and become ‘a world-class constructor of bespoke high-performance automobiles.’ TWR emphasises a focus on the analogue driving experience, in a marketplace that’s moving in an increasingly detached and digital direction. Sounds good to us. We can’t wait to hear more.
