Jaguar caught the world's attention at the 2010 Paris Motor Show with the C-X75 concept. This sleek car was partly designed to celebrate Jaguar's 75th anniversary, but it also showcases innovative technologies. It is essentially an electric car, with motors driving each wheel. This arrangement allows for torque vectoring with precise power delivery designed to aid handling.
The wheel motors at draw electricity from a lithium ion battery pack, with that battery pack getting recharged from two micro gas turbines. Jaguar says this powertrain lets the C-X75 hit 62 mph in just 3.4 seconds and reach a total range of 560 miles.
Sadly, Jaguar is not likely to build this car, merely showing it off as a technology demonstration and celebration of its 75th anniversary.Photo credit: Wayne Cunningham/CNET
