Jaguar C-X75 prototype headlines London Concours
The legendary Jaguar C-X75 prototype will be displayed at The London Concours, held 4-6 June at the Honourable Artillery Company near Old Street. Unveiled in 2010, and produced in partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering, the C-X75 was a hypercar for the future, an all-wheel drive, plug in hybrid machine powered by a Formula 1 inspired motor. There will also be a celebration of Jaguar’s generation defining classic, the E-Type.
