Jaguar presenteert pre-productieversie hybride C-X16
Krachtpatser
De ‘supercharged’ V6-benzinemotor van de Jaguar C-X16 levert 280 kW en produceert 450 Nm trekkracht. Jaguar heeft het elektrische deel van de aandrijflijn elektronisch inschakelhaar gemaakt. Op het stuurwiel is de zogenoemde ‘Push to Pass’-knop toegevoegd. In die stand vergroot een in de achttraps versnellingsbak geïntegreerde elektromotor het vermogen van de sportauto met 68 kW en 234 Nm trekkracht. In totaal zet de aandrijflijn 348 kW en 684 Nm trekkracht op de achterwielen. In ongeveer 4,3 seconden sprint de C-X16 van 0 naar 100 km/uur. Op volle toeren realiseert de auto een topsnelheid van 299 km/uur.
Volledig elektrisch
Jaguar heeft de C-X16 voorzien van een 1,6 kWh lithiumion-accu die via het regeneratieve remsysteem oplaad. Daarmee kan de auto tot een snelheid van 50 km/uur volledig elektrisch rijden. De gemiddelde uitstoot van CO2 bedraagt 165 gram/km.

Jaguar has released details of the C-X16 concept ahead of its world debut at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show.Looking firmly to the future, the C-X16 marks a new chapter for Jaguar. The two-seater concept has inspired new advances in design, in engineering and in vehicle technology to create the most compact and responsive Jaguar in a generation. A hybrid, the C-X16 combines searing performance with beautifully realised styling.
Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar Cars: “The C-X16 embodies the established Jaguar strengths of sensual design, animal-like agility and inspirational performance and combines these with attributes that set us on a course to create sustainable sports cars of the future.”
Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar Cars: “Jaguars have always been dramatically different. With the C-X16 we have moved the current award-winning design language on to the next generation, creating a car that is the very essence of future Jaguar performance.”
Under the muscular clamshell bonnet is a next-generation supercharged V6 petrol engine producing 380 PS (280kW) and 332 lb ft (450 Nm) of torque. Already boasting a high specific power output of 126 PS-per-litre, the performance of the C-X16 is further supplemented by a Formula 1-inspired hybrid boost system with a steering-wheel mounted button for on-demand acceleration.
Integrated into the eight-speed gearbox is a motor generator which draws power from a 1.6kWh battery pack mounted behind the seats for ideal 50:50 weight distribution. Charged through a brake energy regeneration system, the batteries allow the motor to provide an additional 95 PS (70 kW) and173 lb ft (235 Nm).
Mounted in an aluminium chassis structure, the result is 0-62 mph acceleration in 4.4 seconds, a top speed of 186 mph and acceleration from 50-75 mph of 2.1 seconds. The C-X16 is also able to travel at speeds of up to 50 mph under electric power alone and has CO2 emissions of 165 g/km.
The C-X16 measures 4,445 mm in length, 2,048 mm in width and 1,297 mm in height and has a wheelbase measuring 2,622 mm. In terms of overall length, the C-X16 is the smallest Jaguar created since 1954 and the XK120.
The C-X16 will be presented at the Jaguar Land Rover press conference in Hall Five at the Frankfurt Motor Show on Tuesday September 13 at 09:15 CET.
