Oliver Cattell-Ford, Exterior Designer, Jaguar Advanced Design, said: “This was the dream project for a car designer, creating a futuristic sports car for Gran Turismo means our designs and ideas could be truly limitless. It has to excite future generations and most importantly, look and feel unmistakably Jaguar.”
The interior design is unmistakably Jaguar, too, with a lightweight E-type shaped cab with a modern twist thanks to an on-board artificial intelligence system named “KITT-E”, augmented reality digital side glass for enhanced vision either side of the car and a 3D instrument cluster.
Julian Thomson, Jaguar Design Director, added: “This project has been completely led by our young designers and represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them to create a vehicle steeped in our incredible heritagebut pushing the boundaries of future design. The team have done an incredible job in creating something which is clearly identifiable as a Jaguar, inspired – but not constrained – by our iconic past.”
