What's the news?
The Jaguar F-Type is set to take centre stage at this weekend's Wilton Classic and Supercar event at Wilton House, near Salisbury. This will be joined by a prototype version of the coveted C-X75 hybrid supercar in a presentation of past, present and future Jaguar sports cars.
Despite the announcement in 2012 that Jaguar will not put the C-X75 into production, the model is still undergoing development as a test bed for the company's future technology. So far the prototype sports brand new hybrid technologies, carbon composite materials and new design ideas that will eventually see their way onto both Jaguar and Land Rover models.
Experts from both Jaguar and C-X75 partner Williams F1 will also be on hand to give information and answer questions on the F-Type and the C-X75.
These two modern cars will sit alongside two of the rarest and most expensive Jaguars ever produced - a privately owned XJ220 and an XJR-15.
"We will be celebrating the finest sports cars ever built at this year's event," comments Lord Pembroke, owner of Wilton House and founder of the Wilton Classic and Supercar event. "Jaguar has a rich history in producing sports cars that exude beautiful design, technical innovation and outstanding performance; and to have Jaguar present with this collection is very exciting."
Anything else?
This year's event takes place on Sunday 4th August and features performances such as a 'Rev Off', a supercar parade, and an aerial Lynx Helicopter Display.
