Jaguar unveiled the C-X75 concept car at the Paris
Auto Show in 2010 to demonstrate to everyone that they have a lot of potential
to be regarded as the most advanced car maker. And, although the concept was a
great success and successfully to its destination, Jaguar is still required to
prove that the potential is valid in more than just a design study only. Now,
under the powerful arm of Tata, Jaguar is looking into building "more
accessible variation of the concept of C-X75" and will do so some time
between 2013 and 2015 with 250 units of the production version of the crazy
cool of the C-X75. Model-based sports and production will be built in
conjunction with the Williams F1 team.
Most, if not all, of the
exterior elements found on the concept C-X75 will remain the same, but Jaguar
has enlisted the help of the Williams F1 team for many components of the
production model. Using their vast knowledge, the F1 team will be helping
Jaguar with the development of the carbon fiber and other composite materials
used for the chassis and body and an improvement in aerodynamics of the 2,976
lb sports car. Jaguar believes that a direct technology transfer between elite
motorsport and road-going production cars is essential for the C-X75 to be as
successful as it should be and the lightweight, rigidly strong structure of the
production model attests to that.
Exact horsepower has not
been revealed as of yet, but expect the vehicle to get at or over 800hp. The
best part of this super car is the performance specifications that are linked
to it. The C-X75 will be making the 0-60 mph sprint in less than 3.0 seconds
and will get to 100 mph in under six seconds. Top speed will sit nicely at 200
mph. The Jaguar C-X75 should arrive sometime between 2013 and 2015. Only 250 units
will be built and each will be priced between 700,000 and 900,000 Euros, or
about $1 million and $1.3 million at the current rates.
Production of C-X75 is still going to
bring four electric motors mounted one for each axis, but oh-so-cool jet
mounted on the concept will be taken out and replaced with a 1.6L engine
supercharged gasoline. Yes, we know the jet would be awesome to see the
production model, but the specifications for the C-X75 will not disappoint
anyone. Plus, we may still see the beam in the production version of the Tata
then because it has a big stake in Bladon Jets. For now, we will remain on the
elements of phenomenal future C-X75.
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.
