Jaguar C-X75 Concept Revealed

The next generation Jaguar C-X75 is unveiled at the 2010 Paris Auto Show. Have a look.

The all-wheel-drive aluminum-bodied Jaguar C-X75, thanks to its combined output of 778 hp and 1180 lb.-ft. of torque, is capable of accelerating to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 205 mph. Jaguar says the gas turbine engines extend the range of this sporty EV to an amazing 560 miles.
The sleek shape recalls previous Jaguar supercars like the XJ13 and XJ220. The twin turbines are positioned amidships in the Jetstream Silver supercar. The intakes, which provide up to 25,000 liters of air per minute to the 80,000- rpm turbines, are an integral part of the design. The sleek exterior shape has a drag coefficient of 0.34.
The cabin is equally advanced, using lightweight seats that are fixed to the car’s tub, while the steering wheel and pedals adjust to the driver. Jaguar also makes extensive use of aviation-inspired TFT screens for displays and ambient lighting to enhance the interior design.
When folks get into the Jaguar C-X75, a phosphor blue light dims as the occupants settle themselves into the cockpit. This gentle illumination from inside the doors and bulkhead cavities creates a translucency inspired by lightweight aircraft structures and exposes the Bowers & Wilkins nano-speaker panels behind the micromesh. Additional LEDs behind the dashboard and underneath the turbines make both installations appear to ‘float’ inside the structure of the car.
