Jaguar announces production of C-X75 supercar
The supercar from Jaguar will look "as striking on the road as it was in concept form"
Jaguar had the motoring world dumbfounded and later drooling when it revealed its show-stopper at last year's Paris show, the C-X75 concept powered by two mid-mounted turbines. Now the British marque has dropped another bombshell by announcing it's actually going to build this stunner of a supercar.
Thankfully, Jaguar design head Ian Callum assures us the supercar will look “as striking on the road as it was in concept form." However, the four-wheel drive production model will have the turbines replaced by a small but highly boosted engine along with two electric motors, making it one of the most exclusive hybrid supercars in the world.
Although power stats haven't been revealed yet, the C-X75's performance figures are truly supercar worthy. Jaguar promises a 0-100kph dash in less than three seconds and a top speed of more than 320kph. Equally incredible are the efficiency and emission figures, with its all-electric range of more than 50km, and less than 99g/km of CO2 emissions.
The British marque is collaborating with Williams F1 in developing the car's carbon fibre chassis, aerodynamics and hybrid technologies.
