Jaguar C-X16


Jaguar has released the pictures of their big release at Frankfurt motor show in September this year. And damn, its gorgeous, which was always expected from Jaguar. The car looks superb from any angle. Though its small (smaller than the 911 infect), its exudes an aura of a larger car, probably because it uses the same platform as its bigger cousin, the Jaguar XK. Performance wise, its a scorcher as well, being capable of doing 0-62mph in 4.4 seconds. Power is derived from a 3.0 liter supercharged V6 producing 380 bhp and 332 lb ft of torque. Integrated into the eight-speed gearbox is a motor generator mounted behind the seats that draws power from a battery pack (itself charged through brake energy regeneration, like KERS on an F1 car) that provides 95bhp and 173lb ft of boost via a steering-wheel-mounted button.
