Jaguar C-X75 electric concept.


I had to put a picture in before I worte anything. Just look at it! It's beautiful in my eyes. The new C-X75 concept from Jaguar, marking the celebration of their 75th anniversary.
The exciting bit is all underneath though... With 4 electric motors (one for each wheel), lithium-ion batteries, and 2 micro gas turbines which I shall come onto later. So, it gives 780bhp, and 0-60mph in 3.4 seconds and 205mph top speed, but will only go 68 miles on electric power.
Now, this is the clever part - this is where the gas turbines come into play. When you are in track mode these provide extra power to the electric motors, but when you're you in a normal driving mode they recharge the batteries, extending the range of the car to 560 miles.
Unfortunately, this is only a concept so the chances of us seeing this car on the roads are... slim at best. But, hopefully Jag will take this concept and be able to produce a production model from the design features they have used here. If you're listening, PLEASE DO IT JAGUAR!

    What a fucking gorgeous car dude. That third picture is very desktop worthy. Really doubt something with quad electric engines will be made in the next 10 years, but this is a damn stunner of a vehicle..

    Nice job Jag.

    560 miles on a full tank? What can it get per gallon? Sounds a pretty efficient little machine anyway..

    Looks super futuristic, not to mention absolutely badass. An amazing looking car, even if just a concept.
