My mate is a consultant engineer at JLR and he mentioned it to me in the past saying what a bit of kit it is. This is the first time I've seen it though and it does seem a bit special.

If only they would build it for the open market.
They've built amazing prototypes before but they always stay as prototypes.

They'd cost far too much. And, these are as much a marketing exercise and demonstration of their capability as much as anything else.

I think the last few words reinforce your comments.
"The technology in the car can be used in future generations", or words to that effect.

Looks like they are looking to do research and sell the results to other, mass-production, manufacturers.

Super machine though.
If I win Euromillions I might buy Jaguar.
