Often times anniversaries are focused on the the past, not so for Jaguar , who has decided to celebrate its 75-year anniversary with a celebration dubbed “75 Years of Looking Forward,” with the first forward-looking statement being a flashy XJ75 Platinum Concept.
Jaguar says that the XJ75 Platinum is a “one-of-a-kind” design and the first demonstration of the true customization potential found within the latest XJ straight from the factory.
To start off, Jaguar opted for its impressive 470 horsepower supercharged 5.0-liter engine found in the 2011 Jaguar XJ L Supercharged model for its literal motivation. The exterior design is marked by a white and black contrasting theme which the automaker says was intended to draw parallels to the metal from which the model received its name.
The body kit includes a lowered front fascia – with matching side skirts and rear fascia for a much more aggressive and street-performance minded style – all of which sits atop black 22-inch wheels with a brushed contrast finish. To finish the dramatic effect on the exterior, Jaguar opted for a unique Satin Matte Pearlescent White paint accented by dark chrome or gloss black accent pieces – ditching the traditional chrome.
Jaguar put as much effort into the interior as the exterior of the vehicle, continuing the contrast theme with gloss pearlescent white air vents, veneers and diamond stitch suede inserts for the seats and headliner, all set against the backdrop of a full Jet Softgrain leather interior. The suede and leather accents are applied throughout the interior to give the XJ75 an even more luxurious look and feel than the standard XJ.
No details were left untouched for the XJ75 Platinum Concept, as the center console houses a one-of-a-kind clock developed and designed in partnership with the Bremont Watch Company – an independent British company that creates mechanical watches which are hand assembled in Switzerland.
To round out the sensory experiences found within the XJ75 Platinum, Jaguar added a 1,200-watt Bowers and Wilkins surround sound audio system complete with an outrageous 20 speakers and 15 channels of audio signal.
