This unique Jaguar XKR 75 was produced in collaboration with Jaguar Italy and Alcantara and is a one-off version with a special interior. The usual leather and wood trim on this 530-hp Jag has been replaced with a cheque Prince of Wales “Firenze” Alcantara trim for the seats, central arm rest, roof and door and window trim.

It’s an unusual finish (almost looks like someone got their golf trousers mixed up with their car interior) and was designed by Giulio Cappellini and Paola Navone from Alcantara Interiors. In the meantime the XKR 75 super model has been overtaken by the recent Jaguar XKR-S presented at the Geneva show, which has 550 hp and no cheque fabric trim on the inside… for the moment.
