C-X75 EV?
Here's a question for the Jag sports car faithful here.
The original concept for the C-X75 was for it to be a turbine/electric hybrid. It was gorgeous and not only ahead of its time, but ahead of the competition (Ferrari, Porsche, McLaren). Furthermore, the shape would look brand new today if it debuted now. The turbine engines were a technological stretch too far so JLR substituted an F-1 derived super- and turbo-charged engine. Then the balance sheet was deemed unworkable, so the project was shelved. However...
If Jaguar were to release a new car that was basically a C-X75 with a modern EV-only powertrain, would you want one? As long as this is hypothetical, let's say it had Model S Plaid acceleration/speed, 350 miles of range, and F-Type handling, all priced at 10% more than the final F-Type.
