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.”
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.
C-X75 Concept will be shown the door in the production model, in favor of a supercharged 1.6L gasoline engine designed in conjunction with the Williams F1 team. This engine will share the spotlight with the same four electric motors (one for each axle) seen in the concept. The Williams F1 team will also help with the development of the vehicle’s hybrid propulsion system. The hybrid super car will be able to get 99g/km of C02 which should make the environmentalists in the world a tad less angry at the speed hungry car enthusiasts.
