Jaguar unveiled the C-X75 Concept car
at the 2010 Paris Auto Show to show everyone that they had plenty of
potential left to uncover as an automaker. And, although the concept was
a huge success and served its purpose, Jaguar
still needed to prove that this potential prevailed in more than just a
design study. Now, under Tata’s influential arm, Jaguar is looking into
building "a more accessible variation of the C-X75 concept" and will do
so sometime between 2013 and 2015 with 250 units of the crazy cool
production version of the C-X75. The production model will be
sport-based and will be built in conjunction with the Williams F1 team.
“We were always determined that the Jaguar C-X75 would be as striking on the road as it was in concept form,” said Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar Cars.
“This will be the finest looking and most innovative Jaguar ever
produced. Even in the world of supercars, we can still produce the most
beautiful.”
The production C-X75 will still carry the
four electric motors attached one to each axle, but the oh-so-cool jets
mounted on the concept will be taken out and replaced with a
supercharged 1.6L gasoline engine. Yes, we know the jets would have
been awesome to see in a production model, but the specs for the C-X75
won’t disappoint anyone. Plus, we may still get to see the jets in a
later production version since Tata owns a big stake in Bladon Jets. For now, we’ll stick to the phenomenal elements of the future C-X75.
UPDATE 10/13/2011: In an interview with TeamSpeed, Jaguar
spokesperson, Kevin Goult, has offered new details about the production
CX-75. It seems that the supercar will be offered in both left and
right-hand-drive versions, meaning that it will be available in markets
all over the world. In addition to that, the CX-75 will be highly
personalized, meaning that customers will have the possibility to choose
any color and interior finish.
The CX-75 will be
built in cooperation with the Williams Formula 1 team, and will feature a
highly powerful four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with
electric motors for an impressive 0 to 60 mph sprint time of 3 seconds
and a top speed of 186 mph.
