J2X® MkIII

“The Allard Motor Works J2X® MkIII is a modern hand-crafted version of the famed British competition roadster that stirred crowds in Europe and North America in the early 1950s. Our modern version integrates the latest technology into the same design, to provide a safer, more comfortable and reliable vehicle than its predecessor, without compromising performance.

Allard Motor Works is reintroducing this limited production roadster for classic and vintage car aficionados, as well as collectors.

Allard Motor Works is committed to keeping this legend alive by releasing no more than 10 new J2Xs® per year for the enjoyment of sports car lovers from around the world.”

DRIVETRAIN

The new Allard J2X® MkIII is tailored to the owner’s preference and driving style. If cruising through the Smokey Mountains is your thing, we’ve got the right combination for you. If, on the other hand, you want to flex your muscles at the track, again, we’ll tailor your J2X® MkIII to meet your expectations – all with emissions-compliant drivetrains.

In keeping with the tradition of American V8 engines powering the Allards, the standard Allard J2X® MkIII comes with a 350 hp fuel-injected GM RamJet V8 or GM LS E-Rod engines. We are working on Chrysler Hemi options for 24/25).

GM RamJet 350 EFI – (Standard engine outside of USA market)

• 350 hp / 400 lb-ft of torque 
 

GM LS3 E-ROD 6.2L – emissions compliant (Standard engine for USA market)
• 430 hp  425 lb/ft of torque

TREMEC TKO TRANSMISSION

TREMEC TKO TRANSMISSION​

Far and away the most versatile 5-speed on the market, the TKO offers an impressive array of flexibility features – including multiple shifter locations, mounting configurations, gearing options, and speedometer pickups (electric and mechanical).

Serving up 600 lb-ft of torque capacity, along with confidence-inspiring shifts and fuel-saving overdrive, the TKO offers an ideal blend of brute strength and street manners – which may be why it’s the manual transmission behind more boulevard-bruising street machines and sportsman race victories than all of its competitors combined.

  • 5-speed, top-loader
  • overdrive – for fuel economy
  • fully synchronized
  • competition grade
  • high strength aluminum housing
  • high torque capacity (500 ft/lbs)

SUSPENSION

The critical component to ensure the safety, comfort and performance of any vehicle is the suspension. The confidence and pleasure owners derive from their J2X® MkIII rests upon the complicity between the drivetrain and the suspension. But, since driving styles and skills differ from one person to the next, we have integrated fully adjustable suspensions, precise steering and efficient braking to tailor the J2X® MkIII to maximize your driving pleasure.

Independent Front Suspension (IFS)

Includes cast stainless steel spindle assembly & A-arms with E-Z Eccentric™ alignment, billet calipers, billet coil over shocks, rotor cover, ball joint caps and extra heavy gauge steel cross member. The IFS includes rack and pinion rear mount steering, sway bar and large vented 4-caliper disc brake

Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)

Heavy torque loads are transferred to a 9” Ford limited-slip differential. The hardened half-shafts are equipped with 12” 4-piston drilled and slotted rotors for impressive braking power. Inboard brakes reduce unsprung weight allowing the springs and shock absorbers to be more effective in controlling the suspension’s movement. The MkIII’s parking brake locks the differential for a very secure immobilization of the vehicle.

Shocks

QA1’s shocks and struts are optimized to enhance performance by providing a soft, comfortable ride at the low end of operation or a firm, high-performance ride at the high end of operation. Changing the valving on adjustable shocks and struts is as simple as turning the knob on the base of the shock, giving you the versatility to go from the street to the track without ever removing the shock or strut from the vehicle

Independent Front Suspension (IFS)
Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)
Adjustability Options

4-Way Adjustable

  • Truly independent compression and rebound adjustment at high and low shock speeds
  • 18 positions of high speed rebound on one knob and 18 positions of low speed rebound on the other knob on the shock body; 18 positions of high speed compression on one knob and 18 positions of low speed compression on the other knob on the shock reservoir
  • Fine tune for low shock speed situations, such as corner entry and exit, and high shock speed situations, such as hitting bumps or curve

REAR END

With its 12” cross-drilled disk brakes located next to the differential, the reduction of unsprung weight on the rear wheels provides a smoother ride and minimal loss of traction on uneven surfaces.

The front and rear independent suspensions can be adjusted to the driving task at hand with four fully adjustable coil-over billet aluminum gas shocks.

The front suspension consists of tubular upper and lower heavy-wall seamless steel unequal A-arms with fully adjustable caster and camber.

Similar to the back, braking is handled with 12” 4-piston Wilwood disc brakes. Steering is done through a rack & pinion unit.

CHASSIS

The J2X® MkIII chassis is tubular steel, both square and round, depending on functionality. The chassis is an engineered unit that favors rigidity and lightness through cleaver triangulation. A number of safety features are an integral part of the chassis: double roll bars in the cowling, double roll bars over the 25-gallon fuel tank located behind the passenger seats, impact bars in the doors and two seamless dome-35 steel (FIA-approved) roll bars that are gusseted into the chassis. This provides a full perimeter of protection for the occupants. Steel floor, steel sleeve over the drive shaft and heavy metal yokes over the drive shaft universal joints provide additional protection. The fuel tank is stainless steel with a submersed fuel pump to ensure reliability even when the J2X® MkIII is taken out of long-term storage. Baffles are integrated inside the tank to eliminate fuel displacement when high g-forces are at play.

The Allard J2X® MkIII’s front aluminum grill is protected by a tubular steel bumper that, like the rear ‘nerf bars’, has a 5-mph impact resistance.
