When the C-X75 was presented at the Paris Motor Show in 2010 it was a wild jet(gas turbine)-electric hypercar that looked surprisingly polished for a concept. The hopes of the automotive world were raised further when Jag announced they would produce the C-X75, with a boosted 4 gas engine replacing the far-fetched turbine, in a limited run of 250 cars.

Unfortunately, production was never started in 2013 as intended and the only C-X75s running around today are the 5 prototypes, each with fully fitted interiors and taunting us with production ready looks, only to be driven by development drivers and the odd automotive publication (lucky bastards).

As XCAR presenter Alex Goy asks - is the C-X75 the greatest production car that never was?

Yes, I'd say it probably is. Though the Volkswagen Nardo W12 and Isdera Commendatore 112i were both incredible as well. (I don't think the Isdera was technically a production car, though someone correct me if I'm wrong).

Good call on the Nardo. I'd nearly forgotten about it and would definitely choose it as the best car never to be made.

I really wonder why didnt go with the Nardo for VW flagship ! Atleast to me it looks miles better than a "bloated looking" Veyron
I agree on the CX-75 though ! That could have made one interesting car
