CALLUM’s Second C-X75: A Beautiful, Bespoke Supercar Brought to Life

Behold the Jaguar C-X75, reborn and re-engineered for life as a true road-going supercar. It’s the second C-X75 to be meticulously handcrafted by Ian Callum’s team at CALLUM, and it’s every bit as stunning as the first.

Where the original CALLUM C-X75 was a rugged Bond stunt car, this one is the real deal, a fully functional street-ready supercar. No cinematic tricks or shortcuts, just a complete car with everything you’d expect from a high-performance masterpiece.

Under the rear deck lies a roaring 5.0-litre supercharged Jaguar V8 that channels its fury to the rear wheels. Paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, it’s as mechanical and fierce as any driving purist could hope for.

And in this C-X75, the driver’s experience is enhanced by selectable modes. CALLUM’s in-house tech wizards have programmed a road-focused mode for those graceful, sweeping corners and unwavering stability at high speeds. Flip to the sportier mode, and the car responds with heightened throttle precision and a more aggressive exhaust note that resonates with intent.

There’s also an active aero package, kicking in above 60 km/h, with an air brake that does precisely what it says. Up front, hydraulic lifters raise the nose over speed bumps and curbs, while 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels add an unmistakable stance.

Compared to the first Callum C-X75, which received minor tweaks, this new creation has seen over 1,000 hours of work on its body alone. It’s painted in a rich shade of green, ‘Willow,’ with brushed-aluminium window surrounds, carbon fibre details, and a polished metal grille for a final touch of elegance.

Inside, every trace of the stunt car has been stripped and replaced with a refined, green and cream ‘premium environment.’ No villainous buttons here, just luxury. Bridge of Weir leather wraps the custom seats, there’s a solid billet steering wheel, a digital rear-view mirror, rotary controls, CarPlay, and a phenomenal sound system ideal for playing the Bond theme on repeat.

“Integrating features like air conditioning and premium audio, while balancing NVH and keeping the elements out with engineered door seals, was a thrilling challenge, but the results speak for themselves,” CALLUM engineering lead Adam Donfrancesco explains.

Ian Callum, the man behind the original Jaguar C-X75 concept, summed it up best: “The C-X75 was ‘the one that got away’ a car brimming with unfulfilled potential. We’ve combined the customer’s vision with carefully engineered solutions to bring the C-X75 to the conclusion it always deserved.” 

An utterly breathtaking conclusion, indeed.
