The C-X75 is an epitome of eco-friendliness, emitting a mere 99 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometer. Yet, despite its groundbreaking features and eco-conscious design, Jaguar delivered a disappointing blow to the automobile world. On December 17, 2012, they announced the cancellation of C-X75 production due to unfavorable global economic conditions.

In 2015, the C-X75 made a stunning appearance in the film "Spectre," a James Bond thriller that showcases the iconic British secret agent's daring exploits. While Bond typically favors Aston Martin DB10, the C-X75 managed to steal the spotlight. Its presence in this high-octane cinematic experience underlines its undeniable allure.

This isn't the first time Jaguar has graced the silver screen with James Bond. In the 2006 film "Casino Royale," the XJ8, XJR, and XKR made their thrilling appearances, followed by the XKR in the 2002 film "Die Another Day." Jaguar's collaboration with the world of espionage adds a touch of sophistication and class to these adrenaline-pumping adventures.

In conclusion, the Jaguar C-X75 is a breathtaking fusion of art, innovation, and eco-conscious engineering. Its elegant design and eco-friendly power make it a standout in the automotive world. While its production may have been short-lived, its legacy lives on in the annals of iconic automobiles, adding a touch of class to the high-octane world of James Bond. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ROADANDTRACK | WIKIPEDIA | AUTOCAR | SECRETCLASSICS | ROBBREPORT | MOTORAUTHORITY | UNCRATE ]
