QT Wildcat 500DKR.

The Wildcat as QT Services built it after buying the rights in 2007: the 500DKR was the uncompromised rally raid version, alongside the road-biased 300STR and stripped 400NSR.

The record

QT Services bought the Wildcat manufacturing rights from Bowler in December 2007 and continued to build and develop the car. Auto Express tested the 500DKR in October 2010 with a 4.0-litre Jaguar V8 (a 3.0-litre V6 diesel was offered) and a six-speed sequential gearbox; the range then ran from the 300STR, with air conditioning and satellite navigation available, through the stripped-out 400NSR to the 500DKR, all road-legal. The 500DKR became the basis of the Supacat military Wildcat of 2011.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
