Project C-X75 will become the British marque's most advanced model to date. In an unprecedented move, Project C-X75 will be built in association with Williams F1 who will lend their engineering expertise in areas including aerodynamics, carbon composite manufacture and hybrid technologies.
This direct technology transfer between elite motorsport and road-going production cars is key to Project C-X75's success. The supercar's chassis will be made of carbon-fibre to create an incredibly lightweight, yet rigidly strong structure.
Aiding the transition from concept to production vehicle is the choice of powertrain. While Jaguar continues to develop the use of micro-turbines, as shown in the concept version, the road-going Project C-X75 will use a state-of-the-art highly boosted internal combustion engine that is designed and built for the toughest test possible - the world of Formula One.
Project C-X75 will incorporate a battery Kinetic Energy Regeneration System (KERS), developed in Formula One and now adapted for production vehicles. This will make Project C-X75 a bona fide hybrid supercar capable of silent electric running with an extensive range in excess of 50km.
GROUND-BREAKING COLLABORATION
New collaboration with Williams F1 will showcase the very best of British design and engineering innovation.
CARBON-FIBRE CONSTRUCTION
By adopting the most advanced construction techniques, Jaguar's latest supercar will be lightweight, yet incredibly strong and rigid.
TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER
Technology and engineering honed at the highest level of motorsport will be transferred directly to Project C-X75.
