The record

The Wildcat 200 had a completely new spaceframe of 106-inch wheelbase and glassfibre panels. Wikipedia gives its V8 as 4.6 litres with 221 PS and 400 Nm and a six-speed gearbox, with Discovery beam axles on radius arms. Bowler built it until it sold the rights to QT Services in December 2007.

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.
