This isn’t just playing games

By Gary S. Vasilash

This car looks like something out of a video game. Elaborate. Expressive. Excessive.

But it is what the TWR Supercat is supposed to look like—the physical version, in all of its carbon fiber glory, will be introduced by the British builder of vehicles this summer.

Deliveries of the £225,000 limited-build vehicle (base price) are to start in Q4 2024. Prospective owners can place a £10,000 deposit (refundable) to get in the queue.

One of the more interesting aspects of the Supercat is it lead designer: Khyzyl Saleem.

TWR describes Saleem as “among the world’s leading digital and 3D car concepting stylists.”

According to his LinkedIn page he specializes in “Vehicle Design using 3D software.” He has worked as an artist for a gaming company. He is the co-founder, director, head of 3D for digital design firm FUZE Studio.

All of which is to say that at least so far as limited-run vehicles go, it very well may be that designers like Saleem may be the ones whose imaginations are in greater demand than traditional car designers who come from a more mechanically based background.
