“We feel we could make the car work, but looking at the global austerity measures in place now, it seems the wrong time to launch an 800,000 GBP to one million-GBP supercar," said Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar global brand director explaining the decision. It is also likely that the company does not want a repeat of 1992 when it launched the incredible XJ220 and received a lukewarm response due to a financial crisis.
