Collaboration with Williams F1

As Design Director Ian Callum described it, the C-X75 is "the true Jaguar, embodying the excitement and performance of a supercar with the sleek design that is an icon of 75 years of history." Its beautiful exterior design, incorporating dynamic elements within a simple form, immediately captures the eye. This supercar integrates innovative F1 technology, including an advanced aerodynamic design and a carbon fiber chassis, through a collaboration with Williams F1, a first for Jaguar.

Regarding this collaboration, Jaguar Land Rover stated, "Manufacturing the world's most powerful and sustainable supercar will mark a new milestone in the history of both companies."

Target CO2 Emissions: 99g/km!

The powertrain employs hybrid technology, combining an internal combustion engine with electric motors on the front and rear axles. The previous concept model recorded a maximum output of 145kW for the motors alone, a total system output of 580kW, and 1,600Nm of torque. It achieved 0-60mph in under 3 seconds and a top speed of 320km/h. For comparison, the Porsche 918 Spyder, a rival hybrid sports car, features an engine with a maximum output of 373kW (507ps) and electric motors with a maximum output of 163kW (221ps).

One of the C-X75's key talking points is its environmental performance. Despite its astonishing high performance, the target CO2 emissions are a mere 99g/km. Furthermore, it is stated to be capable of zero-emission driving for up to 50km. In comparison, the 918 Spyder has CO2 emissions of 70g/km and a zero-emission range of over 25km.

However, the C-X75 will not be commercially available in its current form. For the shift from concept to production, engine selection is crucial. Jaguar aims to develop a more compact engine with performance levels comparable to the concept model by utilizing microturbine technology from Bladon Jets, a company in which Jaguar's parent company, Tata Motors, is a major shareholder. This will allow the engine to be mounted lower in the vehicle, preserving its sleek silhouette while ensuring excellent quietness, according to Bob Joyce, Group Engineering Director at Jaguar Land Rover.

Adrian Hallmark, Brand Director for Jaguar, also commented on the production of the C-X75:

"People expect innovation from Jaguar. They know that Jaguar performs at its best when it creates groundbreaking cars. The C-X75 received exceptionally high praise as a concept car. The production model announced today has a clear business outlook. There is no other car that could more clearly symbolize Jaguar's renewed confidence and elevated level of technological innovation."

While specific future plans have not been revealed, the C-X75 is scheduled to be sold in a limited run of 250 units for £700,000 (approximately ¥92 million).
