the C-X75 develops 780 hp, power carried by four electric motors, each driving wheel of the car. The batteries powering these motors are recharged by two micro-turbines

.

In terms of performance, Jaguar plans for its future supercars a top speed of 330 km/h and a 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 s. Propulsion is provided by four electric motors of 145 kW each weighing 50 kg3, for a total power of 780 hp and a total torque of 1600 Nm Each wheel is independently driven by a motor, which can easily adjust the torque that is their appliqué

The batteries of the C-X75 a pack of lithium-ion batteries of 15 kWh weighing 185 kg are powered by two micro- turbines made ??by the company Bladon Jets allowing a total range of 900 km , including 110 km in total electrique. They can work with a variety of fuels including diesel, biofuels and essence. Jaguar considers CO2 emissions on European standard cycle at only 28 g/km, they should still exceed 150 g/km when the turbines are fonctionnement.

Jaguar has also focused on aerodynamics to improve performance. For example, the rear diffuser, carbon fiber has active aerodynamic components and lowers automatically when the increased.4 speed.

In May 2011, Jaguar announced it will produce a limited number of C-X75, where the two micro- turbines will be replaced by a turbocharged petrol engine to a date between 2013 and 2015. This initiative is part of an investment plan more than five billion pounds, unveiled by the Jaguar Land Rover group at Geneva in March 2011, which plans to launch 40 significant new models in five years venir. In order to achieve a strong but lightweight structure , the carbon fiber have been widely used . The engine was placed as low as possible so as to reduce the center of gravity of the car and preserve its silhouette6 . The all- electric range should be on the order of 50 km. Each model should have been charged between 1,176,000 $ and 1,513,000 $ to at most 250 units built in partnership with Formula 1 team Williams F1 Team.

But it was announced in June 2013 that the production of this model will not be for financial reasons .
