The Jaguar C-X75 is one of 58 Jaguar Cars models in the MotorJury library, the catalogue that sets out to hold every car ever made — production, prototype and concept alike. The record places its introduction in 2010. The photography on this page is hotlinked from Wikimedia Commons under an open licence, with the photographer credited on every frame.

The era it was born into

To read the Jaguar C-X75 properly it helps to place it in its decade. The 2010s were the decade electrification stopped being a science project — Tesla forced the incumbents' hand, downsized turbo engines replaced displacement, and the crossover conquered every market. Any car launched into that world was shaped by it — by what materials, engineering and regulation allowed, and by what buyers of the day demanded. Its direct contemporaries in this catalogue, introduced within three years of it, include the Jeep Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Nissan Nissan Leaf, the Lexus Lexus LFA — the cars a buyer of the period would actually have cross-shopped.

The numbers, read closely

On paper, the Jaguar C-X75 reads like this: the record lists its engine as Concept: 2 diesel micro gas turbines / Developmental prototypes: 1.6 L twincharged inline-4 / I4; quoted output is Concept: 778 hp / Developmental prototypes: / 500 hp (engine) / 390 hp (electric motors) / 850 hp (combined); kerb weight is recorded at 1700 kg; top speed is given as 320 km/h; drive goes through Concept: Direct drive / Developmental prototypes: / 7-speed Electrohydraulic manual transmission / automated manual; the layout is Rear mid-engine, all-wheel drive. Worked together, those figures give roughly 458 horsepower per tonne — the single number that says more about how a car actually moves than any of its parts alone. Every figure above is a manufacturer specification carried by the Wikipedia infobox or the open Wikidata record for this model — nothing on this page is estimated, and where a source is silent the row simply does not appear.

Its place in the Jaguar Cars story

Within Jaguar Cars's own catalogue the Jaguar C-X75 sits alongside the Daimler Sovereign, the Jaguar 420 and Daimler Sovereign, the Jaguar Ascot, the Jaguar B99. The record names the Jaguar XJ220 (spiritual) as its predecessor, anchoring one end of its lineage. Design is credited to Ian Callum.

How this catalogue works

This library is generated, verified and rebuilt from the open record on every deploy. The catalogue skeleton comes from Wikidata, specifications from Wikipedia's infoboxes under CC BY-SA, photography from Wikimedia Commons under each file's own licence, and the ownership data from United States federal safety records. Nothing is written by hand and nothing is invented: every fact on this page traces to a public source, and every page is rebuilt nightly as those sources improve. Errors in the source record will appear here too — and disappear the night the source is corrected.

From catalogue to ownership

What this page cannot yet tell you is what the Jaguar C-X75 costs to live with — that is a different dataset. MotorJury's ownership verdicts are computed from federal complaint and recall records plus EPA economy data, published per model year as the nightly ingest reaches each car. If this model was sold in the United States, its years will surface in the ownership database; browse it live or price any car yourself with the true-cost calculator.
