Jaguar C-X75 prototype


 This interestingly shaped piece is the Jaguar C-X75 CONCEPT.

It is publicized as a "range-extended electric supercar".
  • 2,970-pound
  • zero to 62 miles per hour in 3.4 seconds. 
  • two 96-horsepower micro gas turbines with one li-ion battery pack.
  • four 195-horsepower electric motors (one at each wheel)  =780 horsepower
  • 1,187 pound-feet of torque. 
  • Top speed is pegged at 205 mph
  • batteries for 68 miles before the twin turbines kick in and extend the range to 560 miles

Stylin'

Wicked interior. I love blue lighting..
  • The body resting above all those electrons is aluminum, with swan doors allowing entry to the leather-lined cabin. 
  • The seats inside are fixed, with the steering wheel, instruments and pedals moving to accommodate the driver. 
  • Three high-res TFT screens present driver information, with readouts and displays switchable between all of the screens.
The body looks much better from a top down view.
My only real problem with the car. The bumper is non-existent.

Jaguar has this to say about the genesis of the C-X75 Concept, "The aim was to produce not only the most innovative but also one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever; one which hints at an exciting evolution of the marque's award-winning design language while paying homage to some of its most admired cars of years gone by."

 Unfortunately, the C-X75 Concept is just that, a concept. There are no plans to make it for the market.
 With the turbine design and interior's uniqueness, The C-X75 has earned a place on my dream car list.
