Jaguar stole the limelight at the Paris Motoro Show with its electric-powered C-X75 supercar.
With four electric motors (one for each wheel) the C-X75 concept has 580kW/1600Nm and can sprint from zero to 100km/h in just 3.4 seconds.
And while the 330km/h supercar offers a range of 110kms in pure electric mode, two micro gas turbines - which spin at 80,000rpm and provide 70kW of power each - can recharge the lithium-ion batteries on the go, giving the C-X75 a theoretical range of 900kms. The turbines emit just 28g/km of C02.
Shorter and lower than cars from Ferrari and Lamborghini, the startling Jaguar concept is made from extruded and bonded aluminium (an aircraft technology) and boasts active aerodynamics. The front grill and brake cooling vents open automatically when needed, there are active vertical control surfaces at the rear corners, similarly the rear wing raises when needed and even the exhaust gases are directional to increases the effectiveness of the underbody Venturi tunnel and diffuser – technology straight from Formula One.
Inside are fighter aircraft style instruments – virtual 3D ‘gimbals’ around which the gauges wrap and rotate.
