As Jaguar continues to celebrate its 75^th anniversary, its design team has created a brand new vehicle to mark the event.The Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept is a one of a kind vehicle to demonstrate the potential of the striking new XJ luxury saloon and will go on display at the Pebble Beach Concours D’Elegance Concept Car Lawn this weekend.[caption id="attachment_10484" align="aligncenter" width="392" caption="The Jaguar XJ75."][/caption]Its emphasis is firmly on styling with a striking white and black contrast theme to give a hint of platinum metal. It also includes a high performance 470hp 2011 Jaguar XJL supercharged equipped with front, rear and side sills as well as gloss pearlescent white air vents, veneers and diamond stitch suede inserts to the seats and headliner.According to Jaguar XJ chief designer Giles Taylor, the aim is to produce striking proportions.“From a pure design perspective, the XJ75 Platinum Concept is foremost about emphasising the striking proportion and presence of the new XJ, with a distilled black and white theme, which conjures up the sense of precious platinum,” he said. “At the same time, the pure sporting character of XJ is brought to the fore by keeping the car's clean graphic approach and further lowering its stance.“On the inside, we played up the XJ’s combination of high-end materials and British flair to really have some fun. The XJ75 Platinum Concept is a design exercise that shows our vision of customisation as an inspiration for those enthusiasts who have a taste for strong individuality and visual confidence in their luxury automobiles.”Its performance statistics aren’t bad either – it comes with a 5.0litre supercharged direct injection V8 with 470hp and 424lb-ft of torque.
