2011 Bertone Jaguar B99 Concept

Jaguar and Bertone. Mix these two names and you’ll certainly get an explosive, yet elegant result. Want the proof? Come to Geneva and you’ll meet the Bertone Jaguar B99 concept.As you know, the four-door coupe segment has been following an ascending trend in the last few years, with more and more carmakers joining the game.

However, Bertone decided to reinvent this, offering a four-door coupe that doesn’t come with a swooping roofline. Instead, the coupe image is created by the fact that the rear doors are half the size of the front ones. The vehicle is 4.5 meters long, 1.35 meters tall and 1.95 meters wide, fitting into the D segment.

It also uses modular, Extended Range Hybrid system that uses twin 204 hp electric motors connected to the rear axle, as well as a 1.4-liter engine that produces 170 hp and is used as a range extender. The system offers a combined output of 570 hp. The internal combustion unit charges the Li-ion battery pack, offering a theoretical range of 700 km (435 miles), with the all-electric mode offering a range of 100 km (62 miles).

“The deep, dark brown interior is rich in two-tone leather, one with an extra opaque, big grain finish and the other with a pearl, semi-gloss, small grain finish. This dark, luxurious ambient is offset with bright accents in both brushed aluminum and high gloss wood which generate a hidden richness throughout the interior,” stated the press release.
