007 SPECTRE’s Jaguar C-X75 Made Official Debut in London

SPECTRE’s Jaguar C-X75 Front View SPECTRE is currently running in the theatres and if you haven’t watch it already, go and do it immediately. I promise you won’t be sorry. It is a tradition that in the Bond series we see some of Britain’s most attractive and fastest vehicles. This time the movie is seized by appearance of one tough Jaguar, called C-X75.

The supercar made its public debut in London at the 800th Lord Mayor‘s Show this weekend. This is an electric hybrid concept car, which was created by Jaguar Land Rover’s Special Vehicle Operations in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering. During the event, it was driven by SPECTRE’s stunt driver Martin Ivanov (yes ladies, this handsome man on the pictures). He drove the car on 14th November as part of the annual two-mile parade.

He actually said that he was really excited to sit again behind the steering wheel of the Jaguar C-X75. Ivanov also recalled that it was a memorable experience driving this car during filming in Rome. Although the supercar was driven by Ivanov, in the actual movie the personage, who uses it, is Hinx. The vehicle is featured in one of movie’s high speed car chase.

In addition, at the event the bespoke car was accompanied by the XE sports saloon, the F-TYPE and two bespoke Range Rovers. And as a matter of fact, this appearance marked the start of Jaguar Land Rover’s partnership with HMS Queen Elizabeth, the Royal Navy’s future aircraft carrier and flagship. The aircraft carriers will be the biggest and most powerful warships ever constructed for the Royal Navy.

Jaguar C-X75: Hybrid Supercar Prototype Without Equal [VIDEO]

Just two days after the release of official images, Jaguar is now disclosing a video, which shows the potential and capabilities of the new Jaguar C-X75 Prototype.

The film concentrates on behind-the-scenes information of the car’s development. It is named: C-X75 – A hybrid supercar prototype without equal. In the video are featured opinions of vehicle’s lead programme engineers and in addition it reveals the challenges which they had to overcome in developing this car.

Their main goal was to produce a prototype which has a Vmax of 220 mph, but still can produce fewer than 89g of CO2 per kilometre and can even run with zero emissions for up to 60km. In fact, this Jaguar is based on the C-X75 Concept which came to light in 2010.

In just two years, the advanced engineering team has created an all-wheel drive, plug-in parallel hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) with the world’s highest specific power engine and Jaguar’s first carbon composite monocoque chassis.

Furthermore, some of the highlights in the development of C-X75 prototypes include cutting-edge hybrid technologies, carbon composite materials and advanced design solutions pioneered in association with Williams Advanced Engineering.

To go further into details, the C-X75 has a combined power output in excess of 850 hp (625 kW) and 1000 Nm (738 lb-ft) of torque. These numbers were made possible thanks to the state-of-the-art, Formula 1-inspired, 1.6-litre dual-boosted (turbocharged and supercharged) four-cylinder powerplant. The latter produces 502 hp (370 kW) at 10,000 rpm and is coupled with the highest torque and power density electric motors in production, which generate a further 390 horsepower (297 kW).

The battery pack hidden in the C-X75 is the PHEV one which is capable of delivering more than 300 kW over the full state of the charge window. The aforementioned facts and numbers contribute to the logical conclusion that the acceleration time of this model will be stunning.

To be more precise, the car covers the run from standstill to 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds, thanks to its advanced 7-speed automated manual transmission that allows gearshifts in fewer than 200 milliseconds.

JAGUAR C-X75: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Engine	1.6-litre turbocharged and supercharged in-line four-cylinder petrol, allied with 2 x 150 kW electric motors
Peak Power (bhp@rpm)	502@10,000 (petrol only); >850 (combined petrol and electric)
Peak Torque (Nm)	>1000 (combined)
Range, pure electric mode (km)	60
0-100mph (secs)	<6.0
Top speed (mph)	>200
CO2 emissions (g/km)	<89

Jaguar C-X75 – A Prototype State-of-the-art Hypercar

Jaguar has published several images and information about C-X75 prototype.

This makes a combined power of around 850HP (633 kW), which is enough to accelerate 0-160 km/h (0-100 mph) in less than 6 seconds. The top speed is going to be 354 km/h (220 mph).The model also has an electric only range of approximately 40 miles (64 km).Probably, the C-X75 will not go into series production, but some details will be used for future Jaguar models.
