Jaguar C-X75 (2010)
The Jaguar C-X75 is a two-seater concept car that is hybrid-electric. There was one concept car produced, which debuted during the 2010 Paris Motor Show. This was followed by five developmental prototypes between 2013 and 2015. The concept uses four YASA electric motors to generate 778 horsepower and drive each wheel individually. The batteries for the motors get their charge from micro gas turbines that are diesel-fed. The developmental prototypes had a smaller forced-induction gas engine instead. When creating the C-X75, Jaguar wanted to create a future supercar that could hit 205 mph and reach 62 mph in 3.4 seconds.
There are four electric motors and the drivetrain gives it the inherent ability to drive each wheel independently at full speed. This is a process called Torque Vectoring. The individual motors weight about 110 pounds each. The Bladon Jet micro gas turbines give it the ability to have a 559-mile range through electricity, all while minimizing the carbon transmissions of this concept. Running just on the battery, you should see a range of about 68 miles before needing a recharge. These microturbines are capable of running on several fuels, such as biofuel, liquid petroleum gas diesel, and compressed natural gas.
