"Performance   through Innovation has always been the Jaguar brand. From the   beginning, cars like the C-Type and D-type pioneer aluminum   construction, aerodynamic design, racing monohulls and disc brakes. The   X75-C demonstrates that the company continues to lead in automotive   design and technology. "
Dr. Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover
The   concept C-X75 is both a celebration of 75 years of Jaguar iconic  design  and a look at the future of automotive technology. Designed as a   two-seater electric supercar range, it explores the outer limits of   performance and durability. With plug-in capability of the car can   achieve a zero tailpipe emissions range of 110 kilometers (68 miles) -   three times around the Paris ring road - when running under the battery   alone, in addition to a potential top speed of 330kph (205 mph) and   blistering acceleration. The car shows that it is possible to preserve   the fundamental values of Jaguar's performance, design and technology   with luxury that will make the environmental performance of electric   vehicles and a concrete proposal.
The   aim was to produce not only the most innovative, but also one of the   most beautiful Jaguars, who hinted at an exciting evolution of the   language of the award-winning brand design while paying homage to some   of his most admired cars past years. Advanced design features a   revolutionary propulsion system and active aerodynamics allow a section   of fuselage simple and elegant which is stable at high speeds.
"The   C-X75 is a tribute to those who shaped icons that the Jaguars are   revered to this day. By making an innovative test-bed for future   technologies, it also ensures that our reputation for engineering   excellence will continue for another 75 years and beyond. "

75 years of Jaguar design
For   75 years, Jaguar has been responsible for some of the most iconic road   and race car designs ever seen. Calling names will be known to all:   XK120, C-Type, D-Type, XJ13, E-Type, XJ220. To that list can now be   added to the C-X75, which celebrates three-quarters of a century of   beautiful, fast Jaguars being the fastest and perhaps the best concept   of all.
Jaguar   has a portfolio of award-winning designs in its existing range of XK,   XF and XJ models and C-X75 reinforces the approach of design-led brand   development product. Created under the direction of Design Director Ian   Callum, the concept opens the way to a more emotional design language   that best combines contemporary style with world-class research and   engineering.
Aficionados   will identify elements of the past in the Jaguar C-X75, but the   intention was not to look backward but forward. The designers of the   C-X75 has remained faithful to the design philosophy of Jaguar's   long-standing natural disaster, flowing lines and simple shapes and   elegant. When the inspiration of the past has been found was in   engineering and innovative design elements functional cars like the 1950   C-Type and D-type racers of 1966 and unique XJ13 Le Mans prototype - a   car described by Callum that "perhaps the finest Jaguar ever made. "
Just   as the XJ13 acted a testbed for a new engine, the C-X75 also offers  the  potential positive and inspiring solutions to the challenges posed  by  environmental concerns. performance cars have always strived for   efficiency in terms of strength, agility and dynamics, which also   benefits the economy. Using previously unpublished combinations of   technology, supercar C-X75 offers a glimpse into the future of Jaguar   and its commitment to produce beautiful fast cars powered by sustainable   means.
Exterior design
"The   C-X75 is a Jaguar should be. He has great balance and grace and at the   same time has the power and excitement of a true great. You could say   this is as close to an art form as a pure concept car can get and we   believe it is a worthy tribute to 75 years of Jaguar iconic design. "
Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars
Completed   in Jetstream Silver, beautiful proportions of the C-X75, the sculpted   lines and powerful position were created, in the words of Julian   Thomson, deputy design director and head of the Jaguar Advanced Design   Studio in " pull the same emotional chord classic Jaguars, as the riders   of D-Type and XJ13. "
The   C-X75 takes more than just a sleek look of the previous classical   models, however, these cars were also respected for the purity of their   genius. C-X75 was created to show the future for luxury automakers like   Jaguar. It shows that it is possible to keep the brand values base  while  offering zero emissions automobiles for most of the time, and the  range  extender technologies that will make electric vehicles more  practical .
Aerodynamics Purity
Shorter,   thinner and less than the current crop of supercars, the exterior   design is pure performance with a single central body surrounded by   prominent wheel arches. Thank you to the efficiency of packaging   provided by the absence of a conventional piston engine, the designers   of the car had a maximum of freedom in the placement of mechanical   components and creating the package of engineering the most elegant   available . Therefore, the car has the most perfect proportions and   sense of balance as possible with a compact cabin located centrally   between the wheel arches drama. The lines of the supercar are motivating   and agile, which suggests a sense of movement and balance.
Aerodynamics   are a key factor in designing a supercar capable of accelerating at   speeds exceeding 320 km / h of (200 mph). Yet, as Thomson explains,   designers are not willing to sacrifice the beauty of the car when it   came to creating downforce and stability at high speed:
"Because   we want this to be one of the most beautiful Jaguars ever, we took a   much more elegant aerodynamics of the C-X75 and exploited the advantages   of having an electric drivetrain powered."
Using   a venturi underbody and exhaust control directional kept the car as   stylish, compact and low as possible while generating huge amounts of   grip and downforce. Indeed, the movement of air itself was a key driver   behind many design elements that were incorporated into the body. Matt   Beavan leading designer reveals how the flow of air into the turbines   have helped shape the surfaces of the car itself:
"We   wanted to focus on how the air makes its way not only on the car, but   is also fed into the air box back. When working at 80,000 rpm, each gas   turbine requires 25,000 liters of air per minute, which means that we   need a series of carefully polished intakes. "
The   two beautifully sculpted aluminum threshold values provided are   striking two-tone finish with polished internal focus on their   functionality. Above them are two air intakes also that cold feed to a   separate turbine cooling system.
The   theme of the turbine is also reflected in the beautiful alloy wheels   seems to have been carved from a single block of aluminum with a design   inspired spoken by the fan blades of the engines themselves. The tires   were custom made by Pirelli with an asymmetric tread pattern and wear   bold green F1-style racing to the circumference of the tire.
front   doors swing-open thanks to technology Jaguar Touch Sense, which raises   outwards and upwards to enter the cabin excellent. To maintain the   purity of the side profile, designers replaced conventional mirrors with   cameras housed in a tail that is an echo of this miniature D-Type -  the  images are displayed on screens inside the cabin. Behind the doors,   fuel costs sitting on either side of the cockpit - reminiscent of the   dual-tank on the original XJ6 - which, to access C-X75, respectively,   the fuel for the turbines and the point of plug -in battery.
The   eye is then drawn into the watertight compartment which houses the two   micro-gas turbines and fine structural bracing that supports them.   Exposed through the rear window - a bit like the XJ13 - remarkable   turbines are presented by their sleek aluminum casing and Texalium   tissue lining the engine bay.
The   compact packaging of the turbines has allowed the designers additional   freedom in the rear of the car, which has the shape of the trailing  edge  of an airplane wing. It is both functional - incorporating the  Venturi  wing - and beautiful setting with a strong line and dramatic,  full-thin  LED taillights.
Interior
Jaguar   has a long tradition of using the best materials to create a luxurious   and cosseting cabin allows the driver to concentrate on the driving   experience, culminating in winning the current XJ. With the C-X75,   Jaguar beautiful leather mixed with innovative materials and finishes to   create a cabin elegantly tailored and focused on the conductor which  is  defined and inspired by the technology that powers this supercar   sustainability.
The   two micro-turbines provided great inspiration when designing the   interior architecture. The turbines themselves require large amounts of   air and driver and passenger are placed in the quiet center of this   storm. The soft shapes and surface modifications of the cabin to reflect   the movement of air, unseen and unheard by those inside, in the canals   that surround it.
The   seats are fixed in the rear wall which is part of the airbox feeding   the turbines, the integration of driver and passenger not only in   structure but also the function of the car. A beautifully formed   aluminum profile directs air into the turbines that are supported by   brackets cast spiral that seem to arise directly from the headrest of   the seats.
driver-focused cabin
Although   the cabins Jaguar have always been quiet, comfortable sanctuary for   passengers, their focus has remained centered on the conductor. The   C-X75 takes this commitment to its logical conclusion by placing the   driver closer to the center of the car. Therefore, the cutters cabin   itself fully and without compromise to the driver. A rocker switch on   the steering wheel brings board wheel and instrument towards the driver,   revealing a beautiful polished aluminum surrounds the cockpit. The   pedals are also adjustable to create the perfect driving position.
The   sense of opportunity and experience generated by the pilot C-X75 is   unmatched. Electro-luminescent micro-son and LEDs use vibrant light to   create two very different environments in the cockpit, making it feel   incredibly dramatic and emphasizing the width of the car. As the driver   approaches the car, a bright ring of light over blue phosphor indicates   the main directions of extreme plane of the car while driving around  the  eye-piece bath and bedroom turbine.
When   the driver passes the illumination wire is replaced by LEDs emitting   blue light emitting phosphor, which minimizes the occupants themselves   settle into the cockpit. The soft light from the inside of the doors and   cavity wall creates a translucent structures inspired by light  aircraft  and exhibits signs Bowers & Wilkins nano speakers  behind the  micromesh. Additional LED behind the dashboard and under the  turbines to  both facilities seem to "float" within the structure of  the car.
The   car is started using a switch mounted in the control panel air planes   inspiration. Twin turbine hands indicating scan feature dramatically on   the edge of the dials and major relief to rest.
When   driven in Track cabin changes the character once more - drawing on   combat aircraft in combat. Jaguar Touch Screen System Co-Pilot goes   stealth and ambient cabin lighting fades to minimize driver distraction.   The electroluminescent wire is now the blades of blue light that   describe the driver's seat and controls.
The   lighting is not the only characteristic that gives a sense of drama  and  uniqueness of the experience of piloting the C-X75. The  train-selector  is modeled on the throttle a fighter plane and includes a  manual for the  turbines, allowing them to operate continuously at  maximum load.
Unique materials
A   unique, sustainable performance supercar, the C-X75 uses materials  that  reflect the ideals and design engineering. Cream leather luxury   semi-aniline ceramic was chosen for the panel to complete the clean   polished aluminum. In contrast, a more technical Storm full aniline   leather gray was used on the seats. The leathers have their own story   own viability, being the source of Scottish company Bridge of Weir, one   of the leather producing the most modern and efficient energy in the   world.
To   highlight the main engine interface, the cockpit instrument, gear   selector and steering wheel parts are covered with a neoprene soft-feel   texture. This malleable material has enabled designers to sculpt soft,   flowing surfaces that envelop the technical equipment. The leading  edges  of the cockpit instrument has a smooth satin finish while the  later  material is covered grain subtly shaped logo "diamond" of the   traditional Jaguar.
Reflecting   the polished surfaces of work outside of the car, new air conditioning   also feature a dual finish although this time it's the opposite,   mirror-finish exterior surfaces and steam by spraying inside matte.   Inside the vents can be found a honeycomb structure of aluminum similar   to that used in aircraft construction.

Jaguar C-X75 - Innovation
"This   evocative showcase 75 years of heritage of performance, the X75-C also   demonstrates Jaguar's commitment to develop advanced engineering   solutions to the challenges of the future development of the automobile.   The supercar shows that Jaguar will continue to build beautiful fast   cars that generate their performance in a sustainable manner. "
Ian Hoban, line director, Jaguar Cars
The   Jaguar C-X75 is a demonstration of high performance technology and   innovation. The 330kph (205 mph) supercar with four-wheel drive is   capable of 100 km / h reached (62 mph) from rest in 3.4 seconds with   zero tailpipe emissions during urban use. Even in the range extending   mode, it emits only 28 grams of CO2 per km with its ultra-efficient   micro-gas turbines that provide free to the four 145kW (195bhp) electric   motors.
A   record six-hour battery charge lithium-ion battery provides electric   range of only 110 km (68 miles). However, as a Range-Extended Electric   Vehicle
(ER-EV), the C-X75  range  eliminates the anxiety that currently prevents the widespread  adoption  of electric vehicles. The innovative Twin turbine can charge  the  batteries of the car on the fly, allowing the supercar travel 900  km  (560 miles) between fill-ups or, in Track, automatically feed  directly  to additional electric motors to allow the car than 330kph  (205 mph).
In   creating the C-X75, Jaguar, under the government-sponsored Technology   Strategy Board (TSB), worked closely with other UK companies, each of   which is at the forefront of its field. The TSB is an organization that   brings together public companies in a range of programs to stimulate   innovation by focusing on sustainability. Jaguar partners in this   project are Bladon Jets, managers of micro-gas turbines and drives   generators that provide SR reluctance.
The   decision to use technology originally developed for aerospace   applications has been obvious in view of both Britain and the heritage   of Jaguar in this area. Born in Coventry, a short distance from the site   of what became the Jaguar Browns Lane plant history, Sir Frank Whittle   is credited with developing the jet engine gas turbine. It is the   concept of Whittle has been refined by Bladon Jets supplier in the pact,   the powertrain effectively used by Jaguar in the C-X75.
Jaguar   itself an aviation heritage, a large number of past Jaguars - C-Type   and D-Type E-Type - were shaped by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer.   aircraft technology inspiration also led to the development of tubular   aluminum frame around which the Jaguars Mans The start-winners have been   constructed, the same technique used today in the C-X75.
For   C-X75 Bowers & Wilkins, a supplier of exclusive premium audio   systems for Jaguar, explored the future audio technology to develop a   product that offers unmatched sound quality while energy demand   extremely low.
Advanced lightweight aluminum construction
Jaguar's   expertise in the use of aluminum goes back more than 50 years in the   first XK120, through the slight X350 E-Types and pioneer of the new XK   and XJ 2010. With this development it that Jaguar fully realized the   benefits of the lightweight metal performance, agility, economy and   durability in a luxury car, creating a lead of its competitors do not   still close.
The   C-X75 naturally follows the same construction techniques of an  extruded  aluminum chassis and aerospace-inspired glued paneled in the  same area,  making it much lighter than the current supercar. Not only  that weight  gain is crucial in a car with extreme performance envelope,  but aluminum  is one of the most easily recyclable metals, stimulates  the  sustainability of the X75-C and its speed. As the current XJ, up 50   percent of the structure of the supercar is made from recycled  aluminum.
Active Aerodynamics
Aerodynamics   has always played an important role in the design of the legendary   Jaguar designer Malcolm Sayer raising it in an art form in cars like the   XJ13, the prototype from which the C-X75 draws its inspiration.
Jaguar   today aims to reduce the drag coefficient of its future models to   increase energy efficiency. The C-X75 has presented the challenge of   managing the volume of air needed by the turbines. To achieve this   active aerodynamics were used for the first time on a Jaguar.
Opening   the front grille and brake cooling vents only when necessary, Jaguar   has increased the aerodynamic efficiency of the design dramatically. In   the back corners of the car control vertical surfaces engage   automatically at speeds above the direct air flow behind the rear wheels   for better stability and efficiency.
The   rear diffuser in carbon fiber, a crucial element in the direction of   airflow under the car and the creation of support includes an   aerodynamic force, which lowers automatically as speed increases. Vanes   in the exhaust port before changing the direction of gas flow to  further  increase the efficiency of the Venturi tunnel.
Propulsion system
Jaguar   has already made a significant commitment to developing future   generations of cars that minimize their environmental impact. Jaguar   aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by a quarter over the next five   years as a business is £ 800 invested in the search for innovative   solutions to sustainability challenges ahead.
The   C-X75 is capable of operating in all electric, emissions exhaust zero   mode for 110 kilometers (68 miles) on a six-hour national plug-in   charge. However, unlike a conventional electric vehicle, the enjoyment   of this supercar will not stop there. The innovative, lightweight   micro-gas turbines are capable of quickly and efficiently recharge the   lithium-ion batteries, giving the car a theoretical range of 900 km (560   miles) and can also automatically feed directly to additional engine   mode Track.
This   remarkable range extension system is the result of research engineers   at Jaguar by adopting a clean-sheet approach to the issue of nutrition   supercars of the future. The C-X75 turns to more recent development of a   pioneering piece of technology in Colombia: the gas turbine.
British   engineering firm Bladon Jets recently achieved a breakthrough in the   production of multistage axial compressors - the technology used on all   large gas turbines - on a miniature scale and very high tolerances.  This  increased compression efficiency and micro-gas turbines to the  point  where they can be considered as a realistic power source. Each  micro-gas  turbine weighs only 35 kg and produces 70 kW of power at a  constant  80,000 rpm.
Because   the exhaust gases are part of the active packaging aerodynamics,  Jaguar  used a specialized coating zirconia and molybdenum. This coating  heat  resistant peak is regularly used in Formula One cars and is  applied in a  plasma spraying on the diffuser in carbon fiber to protect  against gas  escape.
Turbines   offer a number of advantages over a piston engine ignition range   extending generators. With fewer moving parts and air bags, turbines do   not require lubrication oil or water cooling systems, which offers   considerable advantages in weight-saving. They can also be run on a   variety of fuels, including diesel, biofuels, compressed natural gas and   liquefied petroleum gas.
Turbines   reach their optimal operating speed and temperature in seconds and can   be used over short distances to recharge the batteries without   sacrificing fuel consumption or life cycle. Coupled to two voltage   generators supplied by the reluctance SR Drives, turbines operate either   in sequence or together, depending on energy needs, to quickly and   effectively charge the batteries - or provide power directly to electric   motors - as dictated by the propulsion control system.
Battery   technology is currently the biggest limiting factor in the development   of high performance electric vehicle with a realistic range. Jaguar   engineers are currently investigating with the main suppliers of the   battery in the next generation of power cells to find the best   compromise between energy density and power. The batteries used in the   C-X75 is an advanced state of composition that offers significant   advantages in terms of weight, cycle life, energy density and safety.
Power and Control
The   energy generated by the turbines and stored in batteries is  transmitted  to the road using four independent electric motors. Using  individual  motors has advantages in terms of weight gain and  distribution,  packaging and efficiency. Each engine weighs only 50 kg  but produces  145kW (195bhp) of power and an amazing torque combined  total of 1600Nm  (£ 1 180 ft).
Because   each wheel is driven by an electric motor, the C-X75 is four wheel   drive - with all the traction, grip and security advantages that entails   - without the drawbacks of a purely mechanical set-weight up. Inherent   in the transmission torque capacity vector independently on each wheel   in the speed range. This offers potential benefits in terms of  stability  and control, creating an infinitely and instantly adjustable  traction  control system and stability.
The   electric motors also produce maximum torque close to zero rpm, which   makes the power curve of a traditional thing of the past. In fact, such   is the power of the C-X75 is that Jaguar engineers had to artificially   limit the torque available from rest to improve the handling of the  car.  Performance available in the midrange is really surprising. The  C-X75  will accelerate from 80-145kph (50-90 mph) in just 2.3 seconds.  The  quarter-mile sprint takes 10.3 seconds at a terminal velocity of  251kph  (156 mph) and acceleration peaks at 0.88G.
This   performance also requires amazing awesome braking. Jaguar has already   proven to be a system to the task. The C-X75 is equipped with brakes   used on the supercharged XFR which in 2009 became the fastest ever   Jaguar achieve 363kph (226 mph) at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. In   this application, technology, regenerative braking on all four wheels   can recharge the batteries while driving. The 380mm internally   ventilated front discs and 345mm rear wheels are covered by polished   alloy 21 and 22 inches respectively.
Interior innovation
The   driver-oriented interior of the C-X75 is a declaration of intent to   Jaguar, using technology that is fully integrated into the vehicle to   enhance the driving experience. In creating the C-X75, Jaguar has forged   relationships with other UK companies who share his philosophy of pure   engineering and design.
Control of information at your fingertips
As   the new XJ, traditional analog instruments have been replaced by a   technology of high-resolution TFT-LCD for all three human-machine   interfaces (HMI) in the cockpit.
The   main display engine information is housed in the cockpit instrument.   Needles floating on the periphery of the covers and double sweep round   the outer edge to display the status and regime of two turbines. The   amount of information that can be displayed needs a new GUI. The design   team combined drawings of instrumentation in the new XJ saloon with   those of fighter planes to create "gimbal" 3D virtual gauges around   which the wrap and turn provide status updates.
Information   on speed, acceleration, power generation, power consumption and active   status is selected aerodynamic rocker action using paddles on the   steering wheel, giving control of the driver on your fingertips all the   complex systems the car.
A   secondary touch screen "Jaguar Co-Pilot" in the center of the  dashboard  is angled toward the driver and performs a predictive  function,  removing superfluous information and allows the driver to  concentrate on  the task at hand. As its name implies, this seamlessly  manages the  relationship between car and driver. In sync with  technology such as  smart-phone calendars for example, it recognizes  that the pilot is due  to attend a session at the track Mans and provide  not just calculate a  route, but also suggest the activation patterns  of high performance once  on the circuit itself. Once accepted by the  driver, this information  seamlessly to the main screen wipes cockpit.
Both screens operate in three modes:
Standard   Mode - The dial on the left displays speed, navigation information is   displayed in the center with range and time on the dial to the right.   The screen Co-driver is used for data and emissions of the economy.
Track   Mode - Changing a straight line to view the available power while the   needles surrounding the show interior of the state of the turbine. The   screen changes to show co-pilot performance data and lap times.
Heritage   - Both screens turn into recess precise instrumentation of classic   D-Type, which shows how owners can download their own custom interfaces.
A third, smaller screen mounted low in the center console displays information vehicles.
Bremont Watches
The   need for information screens to be able to display information with   timeless clarity led to cooperation with Bremont, a British independent   create beautiful mechanical watches are assembled by hand at their   workshop in Switzerland. His drawings of aviation inspired and   commitment to engineering excellence has seen the company quickly   establish itself in the world of authentic luxury.
Jaguar's   designers took elements of style MB2 Bremont watch when creating   graphics for the time-related elements of the MMI. The result is a   perfect combination of Jaguar's traditional warmth and purity and   absolute precision.
Bremont   has also produced a single clock, which can be mounted in a support   turbine of inspiration in the center console. clock mechanism uses the   acceleration and braking of the car to keep the wound.
The   relationship with Bremont has inspired another element of interior   design. The company produces shows, MB1, exclusively for those who have   had their lives saved by Martin-Baker ejection seat. To date, this   security system developed in Great Britain has recorded more than 7000   people. In recognition of this, unlocking the door Chrome interior of   the C-X75 are made of aircraft aluminum and mounted into the base of the   seat, in the same position as a lever to eject hunting.
Surround Sound
Jaguar   has instructed its existing partners in-car entertainment, audio  Bowers  & Wilkins experts, with the creation of a revolutionary  sound  system that reveals how the audio technologies have to evolve.
The   result is an innovative system that uses dozens of tiny sensor coil   arranged in a honeycomb pattern in ultra-thin which allows them to line   the doors and rear bulkhead. The boxes, magnets and coils are built by   the nanometer and opposite B & W's own material polycrystalline   diamond diaphragm, the best available. The network of small speakers   literally surround the driver and passenger of a powerful and enveloping   sound, but their small size, it is also the power consumption of the   system is kept very low.
This   system also allowed the development of technology for active   cancellation of sound, isolating the cabin from noise produced by wind   turbines and creating a peaceful and luxurious cocoon that allows the   driver to concentrate on the exercise inherent driving a Jaguar. Similar   technology could be used to cancel noise from the outside world by   broadcasting the operation of the turbine.
