I remember seeing the gas turbine prototype on TopGear, looked good just sitting there. What a great shame it never made production, a 900bhp hybrid supercar could have put Jaguar firmly on the map again. The XJ220 from the 90's is still regarded as an epic achievement, a car that today can still leave modern supercars in its wake. What a pity...
The XJ220 wasn't even approved by Jaguar's board of directors. It was made by Jaguar employees on their spare time with their own money. Then when the Detroit car show came around Jaguar had nothing to show for it and found out what their employees were doing. So they showcased that instead with a V12 engine. Demands was high yet since Jaguar never planned anything for it they never had any production lined up for it. Eventually they couldn't deliver on the v12 and opted for a v6 twin turbo from the gawd awful group B rally car. Many buyers didn't want a boring v6 and wanted their money back. Jaguar lost tons of cash and it would be years before they got back on the radar once again. Moral of the story is : Never trust a Brit cause they will double cross you just as shown on their flag. 😂
To me this must be one of the most gorgeous looking hypercar concepts that were ever made. I literally cant believe why they would not put it into production.

from the time i first saw it in top gear as a concept car and still to date its the only car i like from the jaguar. i was so excited to see that car first as its design was so cool at that time. i wish jaguar can still produce it now and still make it with better with electronics and better electric engines.
this car was almost near production ready,company i worked for,we made the extreme handling roll cages for the prototypes,so this thing was literally ready to go.and then they cancelled the whole project,was an amazing car,pity it never saw the public roads.
Unfortunately this is pretty much nonsense. We are talking about power stats given by the company (of prototypes), there are some important figures missing (e.g. weight/battery charge etc.). and if I would get $10 dollar for every promising prototype, I would be pretty rich... Personally I thought that the gas turbines were the coolest thing of the car and I liked the styling (which as the Porsche 918 looks really timeless).
I watch this video for fourth or fifth time and I still can't imagine that jaguar didn't make this car. I had forgotten about the cx75 until I recently saw it in a top list.

Let's be real for a second; this would have cost nearly twice as much as a 918. Sure, still half the cost of a P1 or LaFerrari but c'mon. On top of that, it seems Jag learned nothing from the mistake of putting a lower displacement, lower cylinder count engine into their "hypercar". The sales were dismal in the XJ220 because of the V6TT in lieu of the V12. While I understand from an engineering PoV, the buyers (you know, the guys who make or break the success by paying for the endeavor) want something more exoctic. Jag built a car for themselves yet again and not for their customers. Result: Massive waste of funds for a company facing some financial hardships. Maybe some cool trickle down tech but that's about it.
The sales of the jag were shite due to the economy at the time, nothing to do with the engine! Youve been listening to some clueless prick.... similar to why the mac F1 sold poorly aswell!....

The F40 was its contemporary, sold ok and outperformed the production XJ220... at a comparable price point. Super/hyper-car buyers are a finicky group and still prefer the cylinder count to be higher than lower. Mclaren had NO providence and NO existing customer base and charged a wicked premium on the F1, its first production car... with a BMW engine... the second production car came 12 years later.... it took that long for people stop saying "a Mc-what?"

@@Sean_Farmer No. It isn't. Sustainable refers to an energy source which can be sustained, thus not being based upon a limited resource or causing major environmental damage. Nuclear, Wind, Geothermal, Solar and Hydroelectric are the most common. Though the later twos sustainability is arguable. This car is petrol powered so can not be considered sustainable. But it does use less petrol than most of it's competition, which makes it the "most sustainable" in it's class.
No weight doesnt effect 0-60 as biazare as that sounds! Its about traction which weight helps! Eg veyron! These figures are BS! 3.4 to 60 but around 2.5 from 60-100 is not normal for a awd car! Usually it would be about equal! Those figures are not right
Engine is twincharged, maybe you'd need a second more to spool the turbos up. Plus a supercharger takes its power from the engine at the beginning. These may affect the 0-60 time. And it has only been a prototype. Maybe jaguar could have tinkered about more
This car took a lot of styling ideas from the XJR15 I think, another car most have probably forgotten about. And JLRs financial woes have only continued to get worst and worst.. and it has bigger all to do with ‘brexit’! More a case of poor management.
@@adlibbed2138 what are you on about? I was saying that Jaguar, and land rover were already doing bad before brexit. I don't quite understand your comment. I know the car was made before brexit lol. I don't know if you're taking my side, or trying to tell me something I already knew.
Something doesn’t jibe mate. 900 bhp and only 0-60 in 3.4!? The average Porsche 911 with Sports Chrono pack does this OR better! Lol. Also usually combined actual bhp output is usually much less than the actual sum of gas motor plus electric motors output. Cheers. Cool car however!
Its still in prototype stage. So it will weigh a lot with those wires and instruments on board. It is still in the process of fine tuning, sadly it never went further to production ready.
I DO remember this concept debuting with the twin "micro-turbine" hybrid powertrain. I DIDN'T know about the multiple examples built with the Williams designed 500+hp twin-charged 4 cylinder instead of the aforementioned micro-turbine idea...
@@biggo_8170 Thank you but I had watched the entire video. Thats no explanation. Tata was and is loaded. Other reasons speculated at the time was a lack of brand equity, past failure of XJ220 etc. Some more careful and insightful journalism would have been appreciated and interesting.
Also amongst other things it was because of the global economy and Jaguar's poor judgement. Well not just Jag but the industry as we knew it at the time.
There is something special about this car. It's a result of passion and dreams rather than a statement of wealth and ego like the Merc AMG one and the Porsche. I remember how different the XJ20 was. I wish they make this car.
I'm confused. Why don't they reboot the project & come out with something even better & make it even more exclusive. I definitely would love to see other F1 powered cars on the road.
Ian Callum is a genius. Just discovered the CX75 recently. I have a 2023 F-Type Coupe and love it. Insane that they didn't put the CW75 into production, even with a different engine, as that 1.6 liter probably wouldn't last long term with 500HP. That said, current F1 engines are 1.6 liter v6 producing around 1,000 HP Maybe a glimpse into what the 2025 F-Type EV will look like?
The design has aged well. Beauty.

But it does use less petrol than most of it's competition, which makes it the "most sustainable" in it's class.
This car is a Jewel
It is IMO a crime it wasn't put into production
3.4 seems slow for those specs
must weigh alot.
No weight doesnt effect 0-60 as biazare as that sounds! Its about traction which weight helps! Eg veyron! These figures are BS! 3.4 to 60 but around 2.5 from 60-100 is not normal for a awd car! Usually it would be about equal! Those figures are not right
Engine is twincharged, maybe you'd need a second more to spool the turbos up. Plus a supercharger takes its power from the engine at the beginning. These may affect the 0-60 time. And it has only been a prototype. Maybe jaguar could have tinkered about more
Payton Chalstrom 0-60 is 2,9 s idk where they got This bullshit from
Sam Colenbrander is that what it says online?
This car was ahead of it's time
Sooo....just build it now...(Kanye shrug)
Incredibly striking shape.
This car took a lot of styling ideas from the XJR15 I think, another car most have probably forgotten about. And JLRs financial woes have only continued to get worst and worst.. and it has bigger all to do with ‘brexit’! More a case of poor management.
Jaguar, and land rover were struggling before brexit. Brexit currently has nothing to do with there bad sales numbers.
@@chewy4160 like c'mon this car was born long before the Brexit was even a thing
@@adlibbed2138 what are you on about? I was saying that Jaguar, and land rover were already doing bad before brexit. I don't quite understand your comment. I know the car was made before brexit lol. I don't know if you're taking my side, or trying to tell me something I already knew.
@@chewy4160 it's going to get alot worse because of brexit. I am guessing that's the point that's being made here.
I remember this and thought it was superb. Looks fresh and amazing now.
Hope Ratan Tata gives green signal to this project
2022 now I still think it looks super nice
Song name? Please!

@@kaaron9172Can't find it, do u have the link please?
It was sooo beautiful was lucky enough to see it in a show room in London years ago as did I see a xj220
Jaguar was just too bad at selling road cars, that’s why this never happened
Jaguar would have made a killing with this car and really brought it back on top. I love how this car looks and the specs were insane.
Cx-75 wasn't to good for us, Jaguars management are just idiots who cant learn from their past.
I have forgotten about this masterpiece
Something doesn’t jibe mate. 900 bhp and only 0-60 in 3.4!? The average Porsche 911 with Sports Chrono pack does this OR better! Lol. Also usually combined actual bhp output is usually much less than the actual sum of gas motor plus electric motors output. Cheers. Cool car however!
This car made its debut in 2010. But yes. Nissan GT-R back then already hit 2.9
If I'm not mistaken, the Jag weighed more than the Porsche you're talking about
mithritades so also The Tesla Model S even heavier and yet much faster to 60 in ludicrous mode.
@@noseonscent1935 I see where you're going lol
Its still in prototype stage. So it will weigh a lot with those wires and instruments on board. It is still in the process of fine tuning, sadly it never went further to production ready.
I DO remember this concept debuting with the twin "micro-turbine" hybrid powertrain.
I DIDN'T know about the multiple examples built with the Williams designed 500+hp twin-charged 4 cylinder instead of the aforementioned micro-turbine idea...

Jaguar are great at snatching defeat from the jaws of victory
useless video! explain why jag pulled out!
ChawenHalo 008 2:54
@@biggo_8170 Thank you but I had watched the entire video. Thats no explanation. Tata was and is loaded. Other reasons speculated at the time was a lack of brand equity, past failure of XJ220 etc. Some more careful and insightful journalism would have been appreciated and interesting.
@@chawenhalo0089 Pretty sure this was under Ford not Tata. 🤔
Also amongst other things it was because of the global economy and Jaguar's poor judgement. Well not just Jag but the industry as we knew it at the time.
@@F1ll1nTh3Blanks Nope; Tata completed Jaguar acquisition in 2008. CX75 was shown as a concept car in 2010.
Beautiful beautiful design - like all Jaguars. Echos of XJ13 and XJ220 in there. My favourite of all the hypercars...
Second greatest tragedy after Hillary surviving 2016 :'(
She didn't tho so unless you supported her it wasn't a tragedy. 😂
Classy comments from right-wingers, as always!
Why have I never heard of this car? Is looks so much like the xj220. Is sooooo pretty nostalgic and Morden looking.
We need to have a petition to have an updated design and release🙏
Still looks amazing even today
This is my favorite car design of all time. Absolutely gorgeous!
That is the best sounding 4 cylinder I've ever heard!
There is something special about this car. It's a result of passion and dreams rather than a statement of wealth and ego like the Merc AMG one and the Porsche. I remember how different the XJ20 was. I wish they make this car.
This is such a beautiful master piece. Its ashame that Jaguar cant do the project due to financial crisis
I love the old jag face. It looks so modern
Dude, I thought this was a 2018 car. I've been fucking living under a rock.
Hope they bring it back
As a Jag fan, This car looked a lot better than half the cars that come out now a days. The CX-75 would have for sure been at the top of the game!
I'm confused. Why don't they reboot the project & come out with something even better & make it even more exclusive. I definitely would love to see other F1 powered cars on the road.
This thing is a blast on Driveclub, I could only imagine what it would be like in real life.
This was probably my favourite "hypercar" for a while, hoping, one day it would see the light of day. Alas, the day never came..
Ian Callum is a genius. Just discovered the CX75 recently.
I have a 2023 F-Type Coupe and love it. Insane that they didn't put the CW75 into production, even with a different engine, as that 1.6 liter probably wouldn't last long term with 500HP. That said, current F1 engines are 1.6 liter v6 producing around 1,000 HP
Maybe a glimpse into what the 2025 F-Type EV will look like?
I hope so
Always a fan of the F-type 🗿
The 918 Spyder was first shown as a concept at the 80th Geneva Motor Show in March 2010.
truly a shame it never came to be--They should reconsider again !!
