Electric super cars are experimented now by many companies, and partly Jaguar goes on the same way that Audi and Mercedes. The Ingolstadt firm has presented one year ago on the Frankfurt showroom the electric Audi R8 which has received own name E-tron. Similar Mercedes SLS E-Cell has been announced this summer. And like these two workings out, Jaguar C-X75 is electro car which have electric motor on each of four wheels . An index in the car name — in honor of 75-year-old anniversary which Jaguar mark celebrates this year.
However, the English company has gone further competitors and has decided to compete in capacity with the mightiest petrol super cars that while it turns out not at all contenders. At Audi E-tron four electromotors in the sum give out only 313 h.p. At present it insufficiently to overtake many hot hatchbacks of a golf class. Mercedes can brag of a 526-strong power-plant but because electro cars with heavy accumulators weighs more than petrol analog, its dynamics is worse: to 100 km/h it is dispersed for 4 sec that on 0,2 sec longer, than at traditional version. And here Jaguar C-X75 — one of the fastest in the world of cars without any discounts that it is electric car, after all total capacity of its four electromotors — 778 h.p. And a twisting moment make 1 600 Nm, that is surpasses pull-rod of the most powerful version of Bugatti Veyron presented here in Paris. As a result electric super car is capable to type hundred only for 3,4 sec. The maximum speed — 330 km/h. And what about jet engines?
A payment for superabilities — a small cruising range. All rests against capacity of accumulators which while is insufficient at all modern electro cars. The present compact models produced in lots, even at economic movement mode, are capable to pass no more than 150-200 km. And a super car from Jaguar, by calculations of its founders, additional charge is required already through 109 km of run. But Englishmen have a trump — the gas microturbines capable directly on the move to recharge the car. Affirms that this working out created in cooperation with company Bladon Jets, – the first viable axial microturbines in the world. With their help a cruising range electric super car increases to 900 km.
From the technical point of view this car is experimental working out, and start of these decisions in manufacture isn't planned in the near future. But its design, possibly, waits a serial embodiment. Representatives of the company underline that in shape of this prototype the relationship from one of the well-known workings out of former years — Jaguar XJ13 is guessed. In two years Jaguar coupe XK should replace generation, and it is expected that in its stylistics there will be something general with the revolutionary concept car of Jaguar C-X75.
