Jaguar C-X75 concept (2010) diesel electric supercar

Did Jaguar steal the show at the recent Paris motor show with their concept car, the Jaguar C-X75.  Opinion may be divided, with several other notable cars that caught my attention, such as the Ferrari SA Aperta, Lamborghini Sesto Elemento,  Lotus Elite or Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale.  However, I personally think this is the most beautiful and certainly grabbed my attention.

Let’s run through some of the important facts that Jaguar states:

  • 0-62mph in 3.4sec;
  • 205mph top speed;
  • a two-seater supercar;
  • ‘C’ for concept, ‘X’ for experimental, ’75’ to mark the brand’s 75th anniversary;
  • as beautiful as a supermodel (okay Jaguar didn’t say that, but I sure do);
  • a diesel range-extender Jaguar supercar!
  • carbon dioxide emissions of just 28g/km;
  • turbine propulsion system;
  • claimed performance figures are 780bhp and a frankly bonkers 1578lb ft.;
  • can travel nearly 70 miles on zero-emissions e-drive mode, but Jaguar says that stretches out to nearer 560 miles with the turbines spooled up;
  • carbonfibre bodywork ;
  • aluminium chassis;
  • weighs around 1350kg; and
  • The doors rise like swan wings.

 

Jaguar, please, please, make this car.  Lose the old stereotype that a Jaguar is for old men.  This car looks fresh, exciting and I certainly would want to see up close and take a test drive, as I’m sure you do, if your reading this post.
