Now, renowned designer Ian Callum’s company Callumm has taken the reins, turning one of those models into a road-legal machine as its care trustee.

Jaguar continued development of the C-X75 but abandoned plans to use the turbine as a range extender. The company turned to Cosworth to prepare a turbocharged and turbocharged 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine with a 10,000 rpm speed limiter. Additionally, there will be two electric motors – one powering each axle. Total capacity is about 850 horsepower.
