Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept

Jaguar is throwing the mother of all parties this year and has decked out the XJ in the automotive equivalent of the Little Black Dress.

Dubbed the Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Concept, this one-off was built to showcase the customisation potential of the luxury four-door.

Jag has got the ‘bling' quotient spot on, with ‘ground-hugging' front, rear and side sills, dark chrome exterior bits and 22-inch brushed black bespoke alloys for ultimate gangster chic.

Inside you get diamond-stitch suede inserts to the seats and headliner, glossed air vents, suede and leather accents around the cabin and even a bespoke Bremont clock.

Lurking underneath that muscular bonnet is a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 with 470bhp and 424lb ft of torque - not quite the 510bhp from the XFR, but quick enough to lay some serious slicks down the ‘manor.

Sure, it might be a celebration of Jag's diamond anniversary, and sure, some rich folk who enjoy selling oil might be tempted. But it also hints at what a proper, fire-breathing XJR might look like. And it looks mighty nice to us...

How would your XJR look?

My XJ would be the short wheelbase in Black, no chrome and big gunmetal gray alloys. When you see one on the road they are huge and menacing, a very, very cool Jaguar.

I don't like it. It looks like a tuning company got hold of it. The wheels are especially iffy. The bodykit subtracts from the elegance an XJ normally has, instead making it look like just another expensively tarted-up sports saloon. I'll take a non-riced XJ SS LWB in a deep metallic colour, or black. If you're going to have a massive saloon, you might as well go all the way.
