Jaguar confirms that its C-X75 hybrid supercar will make production. This car will have a carbon composite chassis and will be powered by four electric motors at each wheel and a four-cylinder, turbocharged petrol engine. C-X75 combines 968bhp and 1180lb ft maximums and a 205mph top speed (0-60mph less than 3sec, 0-100mph less than 6sec) with 28g/km CO2 emissions that put it next to Bugatti Veyron like performance and to Toyota Prius like cleanliness.
The luxury car manufacturer will take help from the Williams F1 team for this project. The project will involve direct transfer of technology between both the companies, especially in regards to lightweight structures.
The company is currently planning around 250 cars. C-X75 will be built, designed and engineered exclusivly in Britain. Of the 250 models that Jaguar plans to build around 50 will be race variants.
Production cars will cost between £700,000 and £900,000 and sales are set to begin in 2013.
