Jaguar C-X16 inches closer to production

A Jaguar insider has today confirmed to Teamspeed that work is currently underway to prepare the two-seater C-X16 Concept for mass production.

Teamspeed questioned whether the Neutron White car was a different car to the silver concept we saw a few months ago, hinting at a production-ready beast. We were told it was the same car, simply painted in a different colour.

One of the sticking points of the concept car is the seat frames which would not pass safety regulations. But our man on the ground told us today that engineers are “currently working on the seat frames” to ensure the car will pass stringent crash tests.

With the test mules having proven running gear for the concept, work is now underway to ensure the car will be production ready. No timeframe has been set for the car’s launch, and what it will be called is still uncertain, but Jaguar’s engineers are on the case, meaning anyone waiting for the British marque’s Porsche fighter can certainly start getting excited.
