Hey, will anyone over on the Island go buy this for me, then ship it to the states?
I'll throw in some extra scratch for your troubles...

It looks like the real deal C-X75, but it's not. It's powered by a 5.0L petrol engine.



For details, see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaguar_C-X75

Jay Leno is the luckiest gearhead ever.


I don't care how it's powered. Jaguar needs to build Ian Callum's finest design as the successor to the F-type.

DAAaaaam! Won’t fight you for it. Lovely exterior, but black interiors just don’t do it for me.

Will enquire on the price tomorrow and you view at the weekend if you'd like and take some pics. You can then transfer the cost and an extra 10% into my bank account and I'll arrange shipping for you.

Hmmm... Is that a dipstick, or a lawnmower style pull starter, up by the windshield?

Ahh, good to know.
Being LHD, should be good for US roads, and maybe the harness’ will suffice, as I don’t see airbags. We may be able to overlook what appears to be nonfunctioning windows (don’t see any controls), but but but, where are the cup holders?????

As a concept vehicle, I doubt the car is certified to meet US safety standards, so if the OP was serious, he should inquire into the issues involved in importing that car into the US. More likely the car would be scrapped upon arrival at a US port of entry.

Yeah, since it was never actually built, I'd think that the chance of actually GETTING one would be less than 85%.
I'd settle for an original body/chassis with whateverthehell inside it.

Not as an 'undriveable' or 'unregistrable' collectible only.
Then again, if I spent over $700k on ANY car-type-item my wife would literally cut my ***** off.

You’d be lucky if she stopped there.
