While the GT car is powered by the Jaguar V12 engine, the prototype was originally intended to be fitted with a Judd V10 powerplant but was built with a Chevrolet V8.

The Storm LMP was converted to a hybrid car in mid-2005 and made its debut at the wet Silverstone round of the Le Mans Endurance Series where it finished 18th in the hands of Justin Keen and Jens Reno Møller.

2006 saw an entry for the full Le Mans Series season and a creditable run to second in class at the shortened Istanbul 1000km (seven laps behind the winning Pescarolo).

While at Le Mans it was announced that Lister would cease development of the Storm LMP and instead concentrate on a new GT1 car, this was overtaken by events later in the year.

For 2007 and beyond Lister planned to design and build a car around a new Pescarolo Sport 01 chassis, while replacing the Chevrolet based engine with a new Judd V10 powerplant.
