So Jaguar C-X75 get the green light. Originally it featured two Bladon mini turbines producing power to four electric motors, but instead Jaguar has teamed up with F1 team Williams who is going to provide a brand new 1.6 four cylinder engine which takes 10 000rpm, which is also going to be used by the Williams F1 with the new 2013 F1 engine regulations, which i am not sure has been set in stone yet. The front wheels are going to be drivin by two electric motors each producing around 400bhp and the car is expected to boost around 900bhp all together and be able to beet a Bugatti from 0-62 which should be done in less than 3 seconds. Price for this car is going to be around £700 000 and £900 000, and they will produce 250 cars in the limited run.
I am really looking forward to seeing this car in the skin and hearing what it must be like to drive such a thing. i must admit that i was originally much more excited of Jaguar using turbines which would spin at around 15 000rpm to power the batteries but this new F1 sources engine from Williams does sound like at good other option
