Jaguar C X16

                                   Jaguar C X16.

The Jaguar C-X16 was unveiled at the Frankfurt Auto Show in 2011. The C-X16 is a two-seater sports car with a difference. A concept car that delivers a bold statement of our future design and technological intent.

The car body is constructed from aluminium, and - at 4,445 mm (175.0 in) long, 2,048 mm (80.6 in) wide and 1,297 mm (51.1 in) high - is said by Jaguar to be the smallest car that they have made since the XK120 of 1954. The drivetrain comprises a hybrid unit, combining a 375 bhp (280 kW; 380 PS) 332 lb·ft (450 N·m) supercharged 3-litre V6 petrol engine with a 92 bhp (69 kW; 93 PS) 173 lb·ft (235 N·m) electric motor and an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission.

The battery pack, which is mounted behind the front seats, is charged using a brake regeneration system.The car can run on engine alone, motor alone or on both in combination. Under engine power, the electric motor can also be activated to boost acceleration, in a similar way to the KERS system used in Formula 1 cars, by using a switch on the steering wheel.

It's also the equal to an Aston Martin in looks, performance, livability and drivability but at half the price. I love that pinched centre, the visibility is great, the dashboard is stunning, the steering wheel is a lovely shape. I genuinely believe this car could be the greatest thing that's ever happened to Jaguar.
