2011 Paris Auto Show Jaguar CX75
Jaguar he had tremendous success with its electric car concept. Jaguar is owned by Tata Motors and is ready to unveil the concept of electric car of tomorrow at the Paris Auto Show. The electric car can drive 900km on a single charge “and speed fanatics, this is – 320km hours top whack!
The electric car concept called the C-X75 and prepared to celebrate 75 years of Jaguar’s presence in the automotive industry.
Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars, “It ‘s a remarkable self-assurance and grace, at the same time is a true supercar performance and emotion” He added: “This is the closest to the art form as a pure concept car and get a valuable and is a tribute to 75 years design iconic Jaguar “
CX-75 is a 4-wheel drive vehicle and its panels and the frame is made of lightweight aluminium. E ‘powered by a 145kw electric all-wheel is a pair of micro-gas turbines, which provide another 140kW of charge and to extend its concept car 900 km/h has begun to attract serious buyers, However, Jaguar has been confirmed for commercial sale. If you’re a speed freak, here are some interesting points, the first of its two seats, and says it will do 0-100 km/h in 3 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h.
Sexy Beast: 205 MPH Top Speed, 68 Miles Electric Range
Automakers, especially those specializing in sports and luxury cars have a long tradition of car manufacturing concepts super car show. Sometimes they are found later in production, but most parts are recycled in different time models watered. Jaguar has presented only as a beast, and – at least on paper – it was pretty good quality. Read on for more photos and details.
Under the hood of a Jaguar C-X75
C-X75 is a plug-in series hybrid, like the Chevrolet Volt. But unlike the Volt, it has 4 electric motors that provide the driving wheels, and when the battery is empty, it is recharged by a conventional gasoline engine. Instead, it uses two micro-turbines, each generating 70 kilowatts turning 80,000 rpm.
The C-X75 has a drag coefficient of 0.32 Cd
Power and top speed
The four electric motors to produce 145 kW (195 hp) and 400 Nm (295 lb-ft) each for a total output of 580 kW/780 hp. The maximum speed is 330 km/h (205 mph), acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) is reached in 3.4 seconds, and 80 to 145 km/h (50 to 90 kmh) in 2.3 seconds.
“The mid-mounted 70 kW (94 hp) gas micro turbines can generate a combined 140 kW (188 HP) to charge the batteries and extend the number of the car to 900 kilometers (560 miles) – or when the track mode, providing additional power directly to electric motors. The four electric motors provide torque guided four-wheel traction and grip that Jaguar considers important in a car that produces 1,600 Nm (£ 1 180 ft) of torque. “
What makes it green (type, function …)
All this power seems excessive, and I’d really better have a car that looks good, but is less powerful, lighter and can no longer be a power and then gets better fuel economy, when the battery is depleted.
But still, the Jaguar C-X75 has an electric range of 110 kilometers (68 miles). Since the average American rarely drives over 40 miles a day, and that number is probably lower than for Europeans, this means that if the supercar was connected all night, could very well be greener (at least when trying to use) like a car much less potent as a Honda Fit or another.
All this is theoretical. C-X75 can never get to production, and if so, would likely stay in small quantities for the model. But if this model project helped Jaguar’s engineers to become familiar with the series hybrid and electric cars and to develop new technologies that can drive the field forward, so it will be worth it. I prefer to see the work of Automotive Engineers for things like bigger and bigger, like the V8 in 1990 and early 2000.
