Tata-owned Jaguar unveils electric concept car

Los Angeles, Nov 18 (PTI) India’s largest automobile
company, Tata Motors-owned Jaguar has unveiled a electric
concept car that can run 900 km to a charge with a top speed
of 320 km per hour.
Christened C-X75, it has been created to celebrate 75
years of the company, says Ian Callum, design director of
Jaguar Cars.
Callum told PTI that he was very "excited" about the car
and loved its design.
He said the concept car had everything a Jaguar should
be.
The car which would be put on display at the prestigious
Los Angles Auto Show beginning tomorrow has created waves in
the last few days after being exhibited in some parts of this
city of Hollywood.
"It possesses remarkable poise and grace yet at the
same time has the excitement and potency of a true supercar",
Callum said.
"This is as close to a pure art form as a concept car
and get and is a worthy homage to 75 years of iconic Jaguar
design,” he said.
Top Jaguar executives insist C-X75 was only a concept car
and not for commercial sale while conceding they have been
receiving a lot of inquiries from serious potential buyers.
Built with lightweight aluminum panels and chassis, the
C-X75 is a 4WD vehicle.
Besides being powered by 145kw electric motors at all
wheels, it has a pair of micro gas-turbines that provide
another 140Kw of charge and extend the range to 900 km.
Top speed is over 320 km/h and the two-seater can
sprint from 0-100 km/h in just over 3.0 seconds.
The super car was first put to public display at the
Paris Auto show recently and now at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
From here it would travel to China, before it goes back
to its garage at London.
