2011 Jaguar C-X75

2011 Jaguar C-X75 will consider whether to produce the sporty C-X75, which has no less than 780 horsepower. The series would be limited to 2,000 units per year. But two production levels are being analyzed, both with 2,000 units / year with about 1,000 units per year.


With lower output, you have the advantage of lower production costs, because the automation would be lower. Already manufacturing 2,000 units per year, production costs are higher.
Anyway, if the production model following the style of the concept, and electric propulsion and also from a small turbine, it would take no less than seven years for the sport came to the streets.

The Jaguar C-X75 concept is both a celebration of 75 years of iconic Jaguar design and a look into the future of automotive technology. Designed as a range-extended electric two-seater supercar, Jaguar C-X75 explores the outer limits of both performance and sustainability. With plug-in capability Jaguar C-X75 can achieve a zero tailpipe emissions range of 110km (68 miles) – three times round Paris’s Péripherique – when running under battery power alone, plus a potential top speed of 330km/h (205mph) and blistering acceleration.

The Jaguar C-X75’s 580kW propulsion system combines powerful 145kW (195bhp) electric motors at each wheel for outstanding performance. At the centre of the car sit state-of-the-art, mid-mounted micro gas-turbines. These can either generate 140kW (188bhp) to charge the batteries and extend the range of the car to 900km (560 miles) or when in Track mode provide supplementary power directly to the electric motors. The four electric motors provide torque-vectored, all-wheel drive traction and grip, essential in a car that produces 580kW (778bhp) and 1600Nm (1180lb ft) of torque.

Reports about the car note that the Jaguar C-X75 will be able to go from 0 to 60 mph in 3.4 seconds, accelerate from 50 to 90 mph in 2.3 seconds, do a quarter mile in 10.2 seconds, and reach a top speed above 200 mph.
Finished in Jetstream Silver, the Jaguar C-X75 boasts advanced design features such as a ground-breaking propulsion system, and active aerodynamics allow for an elegantly simple fuselage section that remains stable at very high speeds.

Report: Jaguar passes on Bertone’s B99 concept

Italian design studio Bertone came to the 2011 Geneva Motor Show with the B99 concept, a design study for a prospective Jaguar rival to the likes of the BMW 3 Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The sleek show car fostered rumors that perhaps Jaguar itself, which has been considering a successor to the discontinued X-Type, had commissioned Bertone to design the purple machine that graced the Geneva stage. According to new reports, however, Bertone was apparently on its own with this one.

Speaking with Jaguar’s global brand director Adrian Hallmark, Automotive News reports that the British automaker is passing on the concept car. “We appreciate the fact that Jaguar is interesting enough for people to do a concept around,” says Hallmark. “It is just not for us.”

Jaguar Revises XJ Lineup for 2009MY in Europe

These aren't the best of times for any automaker but it's even worse when you have products like the charming, yet outdated XJ. Jaguar hopes that it can boost its flagship model's European sales by offering customers better value-for-money with a host of additional features that are now offered at no extra cost. The equipment revisions concern the XJ 2.7-liter Diesel models. In particular, the Executive is priced in the U.K. at £44,599 and now includes satellite navigation as standard as well as front and rear parking aids, Bi-xenon headlamps with headlamp washers, bright mesh lower grille and side vents and Jaguar tread plates.

The Sovereign carries a price tag of £50,472 and features 20" Takoba wheels as standard along with 16/16 soft grain leather heated and cooled seats with embossed front headrests and a leatherette instrument panel and grab handles, plus Jaguar tread plates and front and rear lamb's wool rug set (huh?).

For 2009, Jaguar has also discarded the Sport Premium specification in the XJ.

Jaguar Recalling 3,754 XFs for Minor Electric Glitch

There are recalls where there have been serious injuries or even deaths and recalls which simply involve faulty components that cause no harm. Jaguar's recall falls into the second category as the reason why the Indian-owned British automaker is calling in 3,754 MY2009 XFs in the U.S. for inspection is for instrument cluster speaker function problems. In particular, the speaker wires may fracture meaning that a series of audible notifications will not be heard by the driver. These include the seat belt warning, lights 'on' warning, driver's door open with key in ignition, driver intervene (adaptive cruise control vehicles only) and seat memory. For more info owners may contact Jaguar directly at 1-800-452-4827.

Jaguar XF

Jaguar has just revealed the production version of its new XF sedan, the car that that was previewed by the C-XF shown in Detroit earlier this year and the replacement for the upper medium S-Type sedan . Relative to the concept, the production car has a deeper version of the new "bug-eye" lamp graphic, a conventional rear door handle design and a taller roof line for proportions very similar to the Lexus GS300.

Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum is on record as saying: "Cars like the original XJ6 left a lasting legacy and my ambition has been to create something as seminal. The XF is that car".

If not seminal, the XF clearly marks a significant shift in Jaguar sedan exterior design relative to the previous XJ, X-type and S-type Jaguars that were all based thematically on designs from the 1960s. The interior innovates mostly in detail design, with new features such as the "Jaguar Drive" that controls the transmission through a cast aluminum selector that raises out of the center console when the car starts; shutters over the air vents; phosphor blue mood or 'halo' interior lighting; and proximity controls for overhead lighting and the glove-box opening.

Jaguar C-XF concept

Even if the Jaguar C-XF is presented as a concept at the Detroit Auto Show, its clear mission is to prepare the public to the aesthetics of a 2008 replacement for the S-type that will be called the XF. For Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguars must now look and feel dynamic; the goal with the C-XF was to design a car with no excessive mass, with surfaces that are tensed like the skin on the muscular body of an athlete.

This performance-oriented four-seater sport sedan confirms the departure from the retro design philosophy that prevailed at Jaguar in the last decade. From now on Jaguars will look like the beast their name metaphorically evokes: svelte, feline, dynamic and aggressive. The most explicit demonstrations of this must be the very fluid roofline and the front end graphics, with those narrow and expressive headlights, and the large, recessed rectangular grille.

Inside too, folklore makes place to innovation: the traditional materials - wood and leather - are treated in an unusual and contemporary fashion, to obtain original textures and grains.
