250 lucky car enthusiasts will get to purchase the Jaguar C-X75 hybrid sportscar pictured above when they go into production for 2012. The car originally made its debut at the 2010 Paris Motor Show as a concept car, but will now get a shot on the market.
The C-X75 was one of the stars of last year’s Paris show, packing futuristic twin turbine generators which weighed 50 kg each to power its four electric engines and reach a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).
Now, the model will be built in association with Formula 1 manufacturer Williams and will bear the Jaguar marque, and it will have a price tag to match its pedigree, starting from £700,000 (around €790,000).
The chassis will be made of lightweight carbon fiber with aerodynamics and carbon composite manufacture technology coming from Williams, and will offer a top speed in excess of 200 mph and a 0-60 mph (0-97 km/h) time of under three seconds.
