Jaguars brand new cat: C-X16
This is not the new XK, nor is it a normal hybrid. This is the C-X16 concept. A hybrid Jaguar that’s a little different in every way. Lets take a look at the power plant first.
The C-X16 is powered by a supercharged 3.0 liter V6 producing 376 HP and 332 Lb-Ft of torque, and that’s before you press the “Push to Pass” button on the steering wheel. Hitting that button enables the electric motor, which is integrated into the the eight speed gearbox, to produce an extra 92 HP and 173 Lb-Ft of torque. Put all those numbers together and you get the resulting performance of 0-60 in 4.3 seconds and a 186 MPH top speed. Just as impressive, it goes 50-75 MPH in just 2.1 seconds. Oh and it does all this while maintaining 165 g/km CO2 emissions and can travel up to 50 MPH on the electric engine alone.
This Jaguar was designed by Ian Callum, the same man that designed the new XJ, XF, and XK. You can definitely tell that he wanted to do something different with this one, he wanted it to stand out from the pack. With all the new technology and sexy new look, I think this new Jag will be a big hit at next weeks Frankfurt Motor Show.
