During a visit to the exclusive department store should also be an exclusive car. What do you think of a Jaguar concept?

The prestigious designfestival Wallpaper* Handmade, this time in London’s Harrods, has five new pieces where the heart of art and the lovers of harder to beat. The “Wild Feast picnic basket”, “Table F”, “Toutou pet transporter Mathieu Gustafsson”, “Revolution lighting installation”, and “Diptych” are created in conjunction with Jaguar Advanced Design and reflect the design and technology of the brand.

To the opening of the festival to celebrate, there were three Jaguar conceptcars of the stable. A pleasant surprise for the visitors! The C-X17 Sports Crossover SUV concept, F-Type Project 7 Speedster and the C-X75 hybrid which hypercar were for the Knightsbridge store on display.

The C-X17 is the most recent of the bunch. A dash of Range Rover Evoque, the tail lights of the F-Type, and two thick tailpipes. Put a 3.0-liter V6 petrol engine in and it is quite a nice car. That’s good, because Jaguar considering production.

In the middle of the Project 7 parked, a beautiful tribute to the D-Type. Subcutaneous is it just a F-Type, but cut the windshield in half, throw some carbon fiber accents and a fairing against them and take the passenger seat out for that exclusive lonely feeling. The 550 hp and 680 Nm souped-up 5.0-litre V8 gives a lovely roar through the custom sports exhaust, but we will not, unfortunately, production version.

Moving on! Last but not least, we find on the front of the C-X75 hybrid. Ever it was intended that this god on wheels to go into production, but Jaguar not look good. There was too much time and money sitting in the perfecting of the technique, and that the British Indians. A pity, because how would the performance of a Bugatti Veyron to deliver CO2 emissions of a Toyota Prius. The 500-horsepower 1.6-liter four-cylinder petrol engine with turbo, supercharger and Formula 1 genes is assisted by two electric motors, each of 200 hp extra on the front and rear axle. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is covered in only 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h. We continue to hope that Jaguar still change his mind.
