2010 Jaguar Sport Cars Jaguar C-X75 EREV Electric Supercars Concept

At the 2010 Paris Auto Show, the Jaguar C-X75 Concept Car has finally been revealed after months of tantalizing tidbits from Jaguar designers and executives. The surprise is, this supercar is powered by an innovative powertrain that combines hub-mounted electric motors and twin micro gas turbines. The Jaguar C-X75 is described by company executives as a “range-extended electric two-seater supercar.”

The C-X75 concept cars is both a celebration of 75 years of iconic Jaguar design and a look into the future of automotive technology. “Performance through innovation has always been a Jaguar hallmark. From the beginning, cars such as the C-Type and D-Type pioneered aluminum construction, aerodynamic design, racing monocoques and disc brakes. The C-X75 demonstrates that the company is still leading the field in automotive design and technology.” Dr Ralf Speth, Chief Executive Officer, Jaguar Land Rover.

The 2010 Jaguar Sport Cars Jaguar C-X75 EREV Electric Supercars Concept is shorter, slimmer and lower than most supercars, and the Jaguar designers have made the concept car’s aerodynamics as efficient as possible to enhance performance, notably the exhaust-blown underbody aero diffuser. Matt Beavan, the car’s principal designer, also says, “We wanted to emphasize how the air makes its way not just over the car but is also channeled into the rear air box. When operating at 80,000 rpm, each gas turbine requires 25,000 liters of air per minute, which means we need a series of carefully honed intakes.”

The C-X75’s 580kW (778bhp) propulsion system combines powerful 145kW (195bhp) electric motors at each wheel for outstanding performance. At the center of the car sit state-of-the-art, mid-mounted micro gas-turbines. These can either generate 140kW (188bhp) to charge the batteries and extend the range of the car to a remarkable 900km (560 miles) – enough to drive from London to Berlin on a single tank – or when in Track mode provide supplementary power directly to the electric motors. The four electric motors provide torque-vectored, all-wheel drive traction and grip, essential in a car that produces 580kW (778bhp) and 1600Nm (1180lb ft) of torque.

The plug-in, electric drive supercar has an all-electric range of 110 km (68 miles) plus a potential top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph), acceleration from 0-100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds, and 80-145 km/h (50-90 mph) in 2.3 seconds. Active aerodynamics allow for a simple fuselage section that remains stable at very high speeds. The plug-in will produce 28 grams of CO2 per kilometer on the EU test cycle, according to Jaguar.

2011 Volvo S60 Test Drive

Portland, Ore.—Fresh in the hands of new ownership (China-based Geely automotive), Volvo is poised and ready for a comeback. And though safety is arguably the most distinct identifier for the brand, the new-for-2011 S60 reveals what happens when Volvo decides to flex its performance muscle, and target shoe moving away from more mundane Honda Accords and Toyota Camrys. Does this Volvo have the breadth of character to handle both road and track with competence? We spent a day behind the wheel finding out.

Boasting the most powerful six-cylinder ever produced by Volvo, this mill makes 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, which peaks at 2100 rpm—a spike that comes on earlier than Volvo's 4.4-liter V8. Also up-rated is Volvo's six-speed automatic transmission, which sports faster cog swaps thanks to new valves and reduced friction. Purists take note: A manual transmission will not be offered on the new S60, but the model does feature a front torque vectoring system, which brakes the inside wheel diverting more power to the outside, with the intention of eliminating understeering from the standard Haldex all-wheel-drive system. The S60 also incorporates an advanced traction-control system with the first-ever use of a body-roll-angle sensor. Though the XC90 takes body roll into account as a safety feature in order to avoid rollovers, the S60's setup is designed to perceive the loss of traction before it occurs and make early and slight corrections for better handling.

Ride dynamics have been tightened with a 47 percent increase in chassis stiffness, firmed-up springs, struts and bushings, and 10 percent faster steering. Three chassis are available: the standard Dynamic version, which is equipped with 18-inch wheels; a no-cost Touring setup, which uses softer damping settings and drops to higher-profile 17-inch alloys; and a $750 FOUR-C option. The latter incorporates automatically adjustable adaptive dampers, which can be set to Comfort, Sport, or Advanced modes. The different settings also alter throttle response, and steering effort can be selected from three levels.
