Thank goodness my dad got me ps1 and showed me this car specifically. Such a hidden gem, I barely know about cars and bring this beast up and almost no one ever knows what I’m talking about.
Crazy! My dad got me that game, and would tell me about how insane this car was, he even got me a folder with the car on it for school 😂😂 This insane piece of machinery will always be the reason to push myself forward in life, BECAUSE I NEED MY OWN
The styling is very unique on this car. Not many cars these days have the "wedge," styling anymore. The engine also sounds unique. It isn't a smooth sounding V12 like most V12s of today, but a raspy, bold sound.
I really like the sound of those 12 cilinders, when the video is in 06:19 you can hear clearely how the revolutions rises, he might be in 3rd and at 60 or 70kmh at the beguining and then just accelerate, but if only mr. Needell shut his mouth for some seconds we could hear the lovely sound of those revo
yes lister storm was one of the biggest supercars... it was bigger and wider than a lambo... and features a 7 litre jaguar v12... means its the largest v12 to be fitted in a car
i saw this exact car at Croft, it was in the pit garage with its backend off, and when they started it, it turned my pants brown !! and NUFC - - - Toooon Army !!
yup worked on and driven one of those. but only the 7litre v12 twin supercharged one.very impressive .the guy who owned it took me out for a spin in it ,what a cool guy:-) flames came out of the exhausts just moving it around the workshop at tick over LOL!! was just a lad at the time ,but had read up on it b4 it came to our work,so the guy was impressed someone know all about the specs.
@kareemcool2007 In GTR and GTR2 ... I race ONLY Lister in GT Class... I know that I would win easy with Salen or 575 but ... GOD, that is a real race machine. Love it ...
Yeap. It was a real "dinosaur" of 90's it was even old then, it was BIG and less power then Viper's that where comming, Ferraris .... and it was STILL WINNING till 2005 .... that is real GT LEGEND car :-)
You don't see many Lister storms on the track in some of the highly competative Gt series in europe and North America. I think it would still be a competitor.
No. It ran a small handful of FIA GT races in 2005, and one in 2006, and it was hopelessly off the pace. Its best years were 2000-2003, and '98-'99 for the nicer-looking Storm GTL. The car in this video is from the 2000 season, although Tiff didn't race it very often. I saw him win at Donington that year, though, in the wet.
HOW AWKWARD that this car has a Jaguar V12, and the XJ-220 doesn't. XP lol. I can't believe I keep forgetting about this car and its awesomeness. It needs more awareness. Someone should find one of the super rare road car version of this and review it. *COUGH*TOPGEAR*COUGH*.
storm was my fav car in Gran turismo 2.. cuz it was much cheaper than the other Speical cars... and if u tune it and all it would still cost u less than even the rally cars...and it had the nicest acceleration and handling.. STORM FTW!
ooh iremeber watching british gt this month.and when the lister was destroying the mclaren f-1 gtr long tail even though the f-1 bmw engine is better then the jaguar in terms of compression ratio...........etc
I don't get this "car review"... I mean, Tiff - as ex-professional driver... then he's just going down the straight again and again then doing doughnuts for an hour or something... It can't be that fun :D
Lister Storm - a very fine racecar in the 90's. I've seen (and HEARD) it live at Hockenheim, Germany - unforgetable!!!
I love his enthusiasm!
One of my favorite cars from when i was younger v12 lister storm bad ass car! Reminds me of playing playstation 1 early 90s.
Gran turismo!
Thank goodness my dad got me ps1 and showed me this car specifically. Such a hidden gem, I barely know about cars and bring this beast up and almost no one ever knows what I’m talking about.
lovely car. the sound is awesome.. and love the gearshifts...
oh what a car!, memories from gran turismo 2
Crazy! My dad got me that game, and would tell me about how insane this car was, he even got me a folder with the car on it for school 😂😂
This insane piece of machinery will always be the reason to push myself forward in life, BECAUSE I NEED MY OWN
Tiff is a legend
background music has a mission impossible feel
This was a crazy monster with a BIG, 12 CYLINDER engine in the front! This defied all other supercars who's engines are mid mounted!
Amazing car
Such a wonderful sound....
The last shot is legendary.
seriously good looking car!
The styling is very unique on this car. Not many cars these days have the "wedge," styling anymore. The engine also sounds unique. It isn't a smooth sounding V12 like most V12s of today, but a raspy, bold sound.
leylandcarsloverslea IIRC it was a TWR Jaguar V12 derived from TWR Jaguar's Group C program.

Insane car, i love it.
This is what race cars should sound like.......
yes lister storm was one of the biggest supercars... it was bigger and wider than a lambo... and features a 7 litre jaguar v12... means its the largest v12 to be fitted in a car
I love the mission impossible theme knock off at the start
that is badass
Has Audi 90 Tail lights too...
The beast drives a beast! Superb!
beautiful
I agree so much =)
He's great
Beautiful car
i saw this exact car at Croft, it was in the pit garage with its backend off, and when they started it, it turned my pants brown !! and NUFC - - - Toooon Army !!
That Jag V12
thats one sexy machine
The lister storm was the reason I beat Gran Turismo 2. :D

No supercharger. N/A
it uses a Jaguar V12
I'd love to have a gearbox like this.
Hell of a car. I have a certain fondness for the Mazda 787B though.
tiff is the best
I used to drive a Lister Storm back in the 90s.
On Need For Speed
Gran Turismo 2 for me, and still playing it today.
Brian Lister.
V12. Take that green peace. Love me some carbon footprint.
@direbloodraven
Yeah its a shame racing cars get retired after one season, makes me very sad :(
Wheres the "A GTR Skyline would beat that' guy? LOL
BAR Livery
@kareemcool2007
In GTR and GTR2 ... I race ONLY Lister in GT Class... I know that I would win easy with Salen or 575 but ... GOD, that is a real race machine. Love it ...
@TripleZ89 The problem is that the Lister is too rare. Only 4 road versions were produced and only 3 still survive
Brunout time
@djbowza its a rare car.. and the highlight of this segment was to show the inline gearbox, what better way than in a straight line?
@singleblankscreen yeah i noticed that too
So agricultural, but what a beast
Yeap. It was a real "dinosaur" of 90's it was even old then, it was BIG and less power then Viper's that where comming, Ferraris .... and it was STILL WINNING till 2005 .... that is real GT LEGEND car :-)
whats the name of the song in the beginning
This was not an attractive car to me, but to the wind and the track it was beautiful. It was a winner.
i'm sure it's not hard to get a couple of new ones
nope, it's a jaguar v12, and at almost 7000cc is one of the largest V12 fittend in a car.
Raul T I know some one that has a 8L jag engine in his car bored it out his self
Listening to this violent animal screaming down the road you soon understand why they called it a Storm!
You don't see many Lister storms on the track in some of the highly competative Gt series in europe and North America. I think it would still be a competitor.
scenario: if I won the lottery I'd buy full on ex LeMans racecars and use them regularly as my daily drivers.
grand turismo 4!!!!
Better things to do.. like watching Tiffs office.
Sounds mean!
nice office !!! lol
Anyone know the song?
At Speed it sounds like a TVR Speed 12
What is the song?
The song is Mission Impossible... Remix? I think so!
@dan4oslav2 So what? People take ordinary cars up the strip all the time so what's the difference between that or anything else?
@tastybuilder23 so do i i have that tape also
Did he race this lister in the 97 le mans when the mclarens debuted?
the american le mans series is quite popular although the gt1 class is dead
thumbs up if you stooped at 0:14 to find where they cut the scene
What's the music in the beginning?
The V12 is the only music you need here!
It sounds like a remix of the Mission Impossible theme.
No. It ran a small handful of FIA GT races in 2005, and one in 2006, and it was hopelessly off the pace. Its best years were 2000-2003, and '98-'99 for the nicer-looking Storm GTL.

I see it at brands beat the tvr speed 12 please say you see that car if you did were very lucky
Lister should have used this engine in there lmp900
3:47
what's the intro music?
limp bizkit)
Hey, thanks. Great service!
At about 8m 50s in the 'doughnut' stunt, there is a church spire briefly visible --- was the Lord listening?
HOW AWKWARD that this car has a Jaguar V12, and the XJ-220 doesn't. XP lol. I can't believe I keep forgetting about this car and its awesomeness. It needs more awareness. Someone should find one of the super rare road car version of this and review it. *COUGH*TOPGEAR*COUGH*.
The music at the start is a complete rip off of "Take a Look Around" by Limp Bizkit
i just love that wow haaa ferraris wath that is a lister dudes that car is the master of the gt cars
great british car, i do believe they only ever made 20 road cars. never seen one but i would soooo cream :-p
I worked for listers and built the chassis for that car tiff was slow in it julian bailey could really pedal it!
stormgt2 I’m trying find a video of the lister lmp900
storm was my fav car in Gran turismo 2.. cuz it was much cheaper than the other Speical cars... and if u tune it and all it would still cost u less than even the rally cars...and it had the nicest acceleration and handling.. STORM FTW!
Coz it's impossible, sir.
@xBurninRubberx lol like jeremy would let that happen haha
ooh iremeber watching british gt this month.and when the lister was destroying the mclaren f-1 gtr long tail even though the f-1 bmw engine is better then the jaguar in terms of compression ratio...........etc
yeah...it really is... ugh
nope, that would be a Lamborghini V12
Leonidae jag v12 😂
This car is so underpowered in Gran Turismo 2
That is odd, even without engine or exhaust modifications I can still win races, especially in GT World League.
Its actually very competitive especially when fully tuned however the handling is a bit tricky.
8 year old comment but you may have been thinking about GT3
They could've at least timed it on the quarter mile. It's a disused runway ffs!
will it kill a gtr omega 12?
in a circuit race yes
I don't get this "car review"... I mean, Tiff - as ex-professional driver... then he's just going down the straight again and again then doing doughnuts for an hour or something... It can't be that fun :D
totally stole the limp bizkit song n played it in different order to avoid copyright
Best front engined car of all time :)
i still find him annoying
Tiff Needell talks WAY too much.
i like it.a race car that looks like a race car:)
