Jaguar C-X75 cancelled

For us, December 11 in the books as a black day in the history. This cold Tuesday in December, the day on which the news comes out that the development of the Jaguar C-X75 has put stop. And that hurts. Enormous pain.

We were so excited when the 2010 Jaguar C-X75 unveiled at the Paris Motor Show. A supercar from Jaguar in the spirit of the XJ220 and a sleek and innovative powertrain as absolute showpiece for the British carmaker. Jaguar saw more in the C-X75 than just a concept car and announced to start work on a production model and a limited production of 250 copies. Here in the newsroom was big news every reason to smile and Jaguar enthusiasts prevailed an indescribable feeling.

Poor planning
But unfortunately, today let's Jaguar Global Brand Director Adrian Hallmark opposite AutoExpress that the 1 million pound C-X75 production stages will not get it. When the Jaguar C-X75 presented the economic times were so bad that the manufacturer had expected that two years later would be a lot brighter. But unfortunately, that was an illusion. According Hallmark is currently not a good time the expensive car on the market, especially since Jaguar important priorities.

Patents
Despite the bad news let Hallmark know also positive elements from the development to have achieved. Thus Jaguar succeeded the 500 hp 1.6-liter turbocharged engines to link to an extremely lightweight motor and thus a combined power of 900 hp and torque of 900 Nm to arouse. According to the British, the car is thus faster than a Bugatti Veyron, but cleaner than a Toyota Prius. Moreover, there are 100 patents that one set without more is going to use in the development of new production models.

To swallow and move again ...
Despite the good news, as we mourn today. Despite the fact that two prototypes will be phased out and available at an auction, the Jaguar C-X75 officially never see the light of day.
