Wearing the Jaguar badge means that comfort is paramount, but not at the expense of optimal support. That's why Momo racing seats were chosen, complete with 4-point harnesses up to the task of keeping bodies in place during aggressive road course action.

From a styling perspective, it's radical for a Jaguar. There's also a strong resemblance to the previously mentioned Subaru B11 S, especially in the front and rear fascia, and then again most definitely in the grille. I like the FX10's grille better though, less of a teardrop, more purposeful in design.

The 7-spoke wheels are truly stimulating, as are the unique double post mirrors. The C-pillar design is wonderfully clean, mirrored by the car's tasteful tail end treatment. While its quad tailpipe arrangement is anything but subtle, Fuore allowed the rear lamps to remain small, giving the car a touch of yesteryear's elegance.
Speaking of classic design cues, Ford's unabashedly retro mid-engine GT might be a worthy donor platform for a Jaguar of the same layout. Whether Jaguar does something as 'outside the box' as this Fuore concept, or goes the safer, and probably more intelligent route of a classically proportioned supercar, it's exciting to consider the prospects. The future is anyone's guess.
