Since James Bond is no stranger to Jaguars, putting him next to a feline-badged hypercar does make sense, if only a little.

This latest iteration of Bond, played by Daniel Craig, has encountered Jaguars in all four of his movies. An XJ8 made a brief appearance in Casino Royale, an XJ12 popped up in Quantum of Solace, an XJ in Skyfall and of course the C-X75 in Spectre.


What we have here though is a completely different type of animal, so to speak. This rendering study by William Baude depicts a futuristic Jaguar hypercar, meant for the road as well as the race track.

Unlike the road version, which seems to have an active aero wing at the back, the track-car has a fixed rear wing, racing tires and an instantly recognizable livery. The taillight graphics are also quite interesting, as a futuristic representation of what we currently see on pretty much all Jaguar models, only the two light clusters don't actually meet in real life.
