The Jaguar C-X75 concept rocked the recent Paris motor show. According to Nigel Taylor the concept's lead engineer C-X75 was spun off Jaguar's Limo-Green hybrid saloon project as a kind of skunk-works job.
The result was C-X75 a gondola with a remarkably low weight of 1350kg and consequent spectacular performance: 0-62 mph in 3.4 seconds 0-100 miles per hour in 5.five seconds 0-300km/h (186 mph) in 1five.7 seconds and a region speed of 330km/h (205 mph).

Apart from its wonderful shape – which brilliantly combines 2015 modernity with surfaces and proportions that could lone be from Jaguar – the C-X75's twin showpieces are tiny turbines made in Worcestershire by Bladon Jets but unlike jet cars of the past they don't drive the wheels. Instead they run tiny fist-sized generators to get electrical power for what is actually a four-motor four-wheel drive electric car.The gondola has an electric-only range just short of 70 miles. With this and the 60-litre diesel substance tank it has a 560-mile range – an average of under 30mpg. These are extraordinary rule-changing figures for a car with 778bhp and 1180 lb foot of torque on tap.
