Jaguar C-X75 to go into production
08 May 2011|3,593 views
The C-X75 was first seen at the Paris Motor Show last year, and will be jointly developed with the Williams F1 team. The supercar will have a hybrid powertrain, and Jaguar aims to have it on sale by 2013. The C-X75 will be an extremely limited edition model, with just 250 units to be produced.The jet-powered setup of the concept car will be ditched for a more conventional yet still state-of-the-art powertrain that should feature a small-capacity but highly-boosted internal combustion engine, combined with one powerful electric motor at each axle offering all-wheel drive capability. Jaguar has not revealed any output figures as yet, but claims that the C-X75 should be able to rocket from 0-100km/h in under 3 seconds, and hit a top speed of over 322km/h, thanks to its lightweight construction.
"The engine's compact size allows it to be mounted low in the car for optimum weight distribution and to retain the concept's stunning silhouette,” explained Bob Joyce, Group Engineering Director, Jaguar Land Rover. “This will make the Jaguar C-X75 a bona fide hybrid supercar capable of silent electric running with an extensive EV range in excess of 50km."
The involvement of Williams F1 means that Formula One technology might also feature extensively on the C-X75, with the team saying that it will provide its engineering expertise in various areas including aerodynamics, carbon composite manufacture and hybrid technologies.
"Never before has the company launched such an ambitious, world-beating vehicle programme," said Carl-Peter Forster, CEO Tata Motors. "This is the Jaguar of the future. The opportunity for innovation like this in the UK is part of the reason Tata Motors invested in Jaguar, and it's fantastic that products like the C-X75 can become reality."
