Bertone has once again teamed up with Jaguar to create an impressive looking concept car for the Geneva Motor Show. The car has been styled in Italy, but only after being briefed by Jaguar’s creative chief Ian Callum and advanced design boss Julian Thomson.

The result is called the B99, a name which draws together Bertone and the years since the company was first launched. The 4.5-metre long D-segment car features barn-style doors leading to a minimalist interior of soft premium leather and brushed aluminum. Apart from the driver’s four analogue dials and the centrally mounted pop-up gear selector, everything is hidden behind high-gloss African wood panelling.

The only element of the car taken from today’s Jaguar range is the grille of the XF, but even that has been angled forward to give a more aggressive stance. It also references the previous, retro, generation of large Jaguar saloons.

Drive will come from a hybrid powertrain developed by Bertone Energy, the company’s newest division, but there’s no word on performance figures yet. Bertone has a long associatiuon with Jaguar, previously creating the 1957 XK150, the 1966 FT concept car, the 1967 Pirana, and 1977 Ascot.
