The Jaguar C-X75 Inspirations & Icons - a new short movie from dunhill's DAY 8

To celebrate the birth of the new Jaguar C-X75 Alfred Dunhill have filmed a short movie that links its inception to the legendary 1960’s icon - the Jaguar XJ13. The movie is a must for all car lovers everywhere.

The long lost 1960’s XJ13 was possibly Jaguar’s most stunningly beautiful design. Produced to compete (and surely win) Le Mans, it sadly never raced due to a change in competition rules.

Forget the e-Type, it is this Jaguar design that holds special with the Jaguar manufacturers. There was only one XJ13 ever made.

dunhill’s new movie is yet another inspiring black and white affair, harking back to the Iconic XJ13, which is now the inspiration behind a modern interpretation – the state of the art C-X75.

The film is beautifully shot and captures the inspiration and design methods for this superb machine. The C-X75 is a lovely looking car, its performance isn't too bad either! It is propelled by a combination of four electric generators, two jet turbines and a diesel engine making it very fast and extremely efficient.

The C-X75 is the perfect successor to the most beautiful Jaguar ever made. Combining modern engineering and design with the aesthetic delights of the XJ13, this is Jaguar’s chance to re live the glamour of the 1960’s in today’s modern world.

This movie is part of dunhill’s DAY 8. DAY 8 lives on dunhill.com and as an iPad app. DAY 8 is collection of the best cool content that the web has to offer, it's one of my favourite destinations online.

You can view the inspiring film HERE, and I urge you to. It is fascinating stuff.
