In 2010 Jaguar unveiled a prototype of a hybrid supercar, Jaguar C-X75.
Originally Building Britain announced plans to bring into production this hybrid super car, but given the global economic conditions in 2012 came the news of the abandonment of the Jaguar C-X75, at least as a production car.
His fate is now unclear: has become a test bed for future technology brand.
His number was afraid, and continues to do so even now: powered by petrol engine with four-cylinder, 1.6 liter and double charged (turbo and compressor) is able by itself gives 502 hp and good with two additional electric motors with 390 hp, a ball of fire the UK has a total power of around 850 hp.
All this power is sent to the 4 wheels through a seven-speed automated manual transmission, which makes gear changes in under 200 milliseconds.
Data on the performance of the Jaguar C-X75 is number 1: 0-160 km / h in just six seconds and a top speed of 354 km / hour. And very low emissions, only 89 g of CO2, placing it among the cleanest cars in the absolute. Autonomy in electric mode, however, is about 60 km.
A test for the future of Jaguar
The Jaguar C-X75, now, in fact, the Jaguar experience in engineering and design. "With projects such as the C-X75, we laid the groundwork for the next generation of innovations signed Jaguar", the words of Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar director, who has made it clear that the C-X75 is an excellent test bench for future vehicle brand.
For the development of super hybrid prototype, Jaguar has joined the Williams Advanced Engineering with whom he created a system of four-wheel-drive flanked by mechanical parallel plug-in hybrid (PHEV), the more power the motor of the highest densities in the world and the first chassis carbon monocoque 'for Jaguar back in his latest press release.
