Wish him the best! He designed some beautiful cars and I'm happy we'll still see something from him somewhere in the future.

Good news is that the guy replacing him is not Bangle. Actually its the guy who designed the Elise.
So we are in good hands.

I got to see that C-X75 in the flesh at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It's easily one of the most beautiful cars I have ever laid eyes on.

Jaguar should have put the C-X75 into production, even if they couldn't get the microtubines to work. They could have used a tiny turbocharged piston engine or something. It would have been a game-changer.

I think the villain in the last Bond movie (Spectre) drove the Prototype.
Agree, beautiful car!

They could've made a production car of it if they wanted. Jaguar is missing the boat on that and would've been a good moment to solidify a stake in Williams before someone else buys it. Would've been a part of the brand like AMG is to Mercedes.
