Tag: Jaguar C-X75 Hybrid Supercar Prototype

The hybrid supercar prototype without equal – the Jaguar C-X75 is going to make its dynamic debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this weekend. In fact there are only five units of the hypercar in existence, and one of them will its public dynamic premiere today in the Michelin Supercar Run along with a number of exciting new sporting cars from the brand: XJR, XFR-S, XKR-S GT and Jaguar Project 7.

The C-X75 will only be available for public views at the time of the run and will not be on static display at any other time throughout the Festival weekend. Te car will drive effortlessly the track

Thanks to its electric-mode and innovative 1.6-litre supercharged and turbocharged four-cylinder engine.

It is estimated that the car generates combined electric and petrol-powered total of 850 hp (625 kW), and in addition is equipped with all-wheel drive C-X75. With its blistering pace and generate a purposeful sound it definitely is going to capture the hearts of the spectators.

Due to the global economic climate, C-X75 would not enter full production. However, this Jaguar vehicle showcases that the brand has the world-leading expertise in lightweight vehicle construction and in innovative research into high-performance, low-emission powertrains.

To be more precise, some of the great achievements in the development of this prototype are cutting-edge hybrid technologies, carbon composite materials and advanced design solutions. These in turn will be used in other areas of research and development, innovative future products and next-generation engineering for the Jaguar and Land Rover brands.

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.
