Same car, some minor improvements (entertainment / sound system / navigation) would do.
5.0 XKR with gearshift J gate as in 4.2.

To me, one of the best (and most beautiful) GT cars ever.
It’s a shame that it was discontinued in 2014/15.

Jaguar producing the XK x150 again would create such a buzz.
They could market that they purpously want to resurect car pleasure.
Optimised V8 for E85 + some spare electric motors to please the greens.
A manual gearbox.
Same car as the last restyling for the exterior. With exclusive paints.Royal blue,emerald fire green,some candy paints (eggplant,chery black,burnt orange ..)
A dashbord in the style of an E-type, like in the x100 but sleeker ,made of an spun aluminium board with independant digital round screens. In the midle a tilting (evolutive and replacable!) screen like in the Bentley Continental GT. the infotainment being fully separated than the car managment.
Very luxurious leathers from Conoly and the return of the legendary and Tan,Biscuit and Magnolia tone on the 2013 sport seats.

Nothing else.
that car would turn to a legend.

If anyone from Tata reads this thread,...let's do it!
