As the official sponsor of the Clerkenwell Design Week that runs in London from May 22 to 24, Jaguar will have plenty to keep visitors entertained.
The highlight of the British firm’s exhibition is the construction of a full size clay model of the C-X16 Concept sports coupe, with which Jaguar wants to divulge the artistry involved in sculpting cars.
“Jaguar is one of the most technologically advanced companies in the field of product development but we still believe in the sense of artistry,” says Julian Thomson, Advanced Design Director at Jaguar Cars.
“Emotional connections are at the heart of our vehicles and the traditional process of working with clay with some of the best sculptors in the world allows us to refine them into the purest surfaces.”
The clay model of the C-X16 study is joined by three bespoke sculptures based on the bonnets of an E-type, C-X16 and C-X75, while Jaguar is also display three models, the 1996 XJ13, and the new XFR and XKR-S sports cars.
