Could this be the vehicle to take Jaguar back to the top of the supercar league? Unveiled at the Barcelona Motor Show last week, the XF10 concept is a vision of a new Jag which could take on the likes of Ferrari's Enzo and the Porsche Carrera GT.

Fuore Design's Erwin Himmel, who penned the model, said: "The XF10 is basically an Enzo for Jaguar. Although it's primarily a racer, it also has a fair degree of driver comfort. You could say its styling and refinement make it more of a gentleman's car than the Ferrari."

Jaguar did not commission the project, but gave Barcelona-based Fuore Design its blessing to use its famous Cat badges. Himmel is hoping that the Coventry marque will take it up if the public response is good. And he says the company needs a premier sports car such as the XF10 to capitalise on its Formula One profile.

Although fresh, the concept's grille is similar to that of the S-Type, while the deep nose is a nod to the F1 racer. The sloping C-pillar and rear lights are reminiscent of the E-Type Coupé. The XF10 is designed to be powered by a mid-mounted 640bhp naturally aspirated 7.0-litre V10. Thanks to an intended kerbweight of only 1,200kg, the carbon fibre-bodied car should cover the 0-60mph dash in 3.8 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 210mph. With six-cylinder Brembo brakes behind 21-inch alloy wheels, the stopping power should be equally impressive.

Inside, the comfortable cabin features a panoramic glass roof, while climate control and telematics are operated through a dial on the centre console. However, the XF10's racing intentions are clear. Driver and passenger sit in Momo bucket seats with four-point safety harnesses, while the F1-style six-speed sequential gearbox is operated by steering wheel-mounted buttons. In the centre of the dashboard, there is a large TV screen - but it's not for DVDs. Instead, it displays on-board recordings of track exploits captured by the car's roof-mounted camera so the driver can appraise performance on the circuit
