Jaguar XKX Concept

Jaguar is an amazing concept XKX connecting with each other cult classic look of the car and the latest technology. The authors tried to find a balance between elegance and high performance characteristic for each muscle of the tsar. Is such a vision can be realized?

Smooth, aerodynamic lines of the new car to resemble a classic, but the similarity can be seen only after a closer inspection. The project builds on the achievements of modern technology to adapt the car to our times, while maintaining high performance and luxury.

There is no dual round headlights, and the shape of the body and interior in no way relates to their predecessors.

Noting the styling and the latest technologies to make the C-X75 supercar with a top shelf. However, what most impressed at the concept car, the drive system. This is a hybrid, but not just what, for connecting the electric motor with two turbine engines. Unfortunately, this concept car is equipped with only a weak unit of electricity, and gas turbine makers proved to be a dream. Then, it seemed that it would not stand a chance.

Now that you seriously talking about the introduction of this car to sell, I know that the drive will correspond to the individual Electrical and classic four-cylinder turbocharged engine. The impressive performance of this solution is to ensure collaboration with Williams F1. However, it appears that the Indians of the Tata companies, which now must be Jaguar, have more ambitious plans. In addition to 250 cars with conventional drive there is also more limited series equipped with two gas turbines.

Motors have formed the British company Bladon Jets Engineering Centre, which also in part belongs to Daddy. The turbines will be weaker than those known to have jets and produce 95 hp each. In conjunction with electric motors it is sufficient to disperse the car to 60 mph in just over 3 seconds. In addition, the car is consume less fuel and be more environmentally friendly.
