Last year, Jaguar celebrated their 75th birthday by unveiling their new ‘environmentally friendly’ concept car, I usually have a cake and candles, but what do I know?
The Jaguar C-X75 is driven by four electric motors, one on each wheel, and dispenses with the tired old internal combustion engine we’ve only been using for the last hundred years by charging the batteries with a pair of gas turbine engines.
That’s right; the kind of engines that Jet Fighters run on is now being put into a sports car. The batteries can be charged on the mains and will get you 70 miles worth of juice on their own, but when they get low the turbines spin up and recharge the batteries while you drive, if you find yourself involved in a glamorous car chase the turbines can power the motors directly, which can get the car up to hit a top speed of 207 Miles an hour.
Despite the fact this car was obviously designed by someone who’s been watching too many Batman cartoons, has some hilariously silly design choices like having two jet engines behind your head inside the car (I hope you have short hair!) and an exhaust that melts the cars behind it, this is actually good news for the environment.
Just as Formula 1 has driven innovations in car safety by pushing cars to their logical extremes on a track, this car will push hybrid technology further along the saner end of the market by showing off just how insane it can truly get.
Driving a car along with electric motors is actually very easy, it’s powering them that’s a problem when batteries don’t last as long as a tank of petrol. This car shows that going back to the drawing board and rebuilding the petrol motors for spinning a generator rather than the drive-shaft can come up with some incredible results if you put your mind to it.
But most importantly for us... we’ll get loads of scrap cars when this thing fries anything unfortunate enough to get behind it!
