Jaguar Ready To Test C-X75 Supercar Production Potential: Report

UPDATE: Jaguar has cancelled the C-X75 project.

Speaking with Britain's What Car?, Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark said that in the current economic climate, lauching a car priced between £800,000 and £1 million "would not be appropriate".

Hallmark added that five prototypes were built; with testing in fact still underway, as Jaguar continues to fine-tune various technologies in the C-X75 that could still feature in future production models.

"What we've learned is significant. We've patented 100 technologies," Hallmark told the magazine.

The production future of Jaguar's C-X75 superconcept hangs in the balance, with reports this week that the carmaker is readying its first prototype tests.

Speaking with British magazine Autocar, Jaguar brand director Adrian Hallmark confirmed that the first firing of the coupe's powertrain is nearing, and it was determine the project's fate.

“This part of the development is absolutely unknown," Hallmark said. “We want to do it, but until we know the technology [will work] we cannot be clear."
