Jaguar C-X75 Electric-Turbine Concept

[toymachine11861]

i think it looks pretty good. i bet the turbines probably look pretty crazy spinning behind that engine window

[TaylerKnox]

This is beauty - precision - art - power - technology - the stuff that dreams are made of - this video is totally cool too - I beg the folks at Jaguar - make this car - this - is - perfection in the making - bring us kicking and screaming - into a bright incredible future -

[vspec20026]

Not very good exterior designs. Turbine Concept going to sell.

[auradragon]

I like seeing how all these people are bashing this beautiful car, what is funny is are any of you twats in this video? any of you designing cars for the future? any of you have a job in a highly recognized company or have a job on that not? probably not, to insult you so you understand, U mad!

[pierrelareux]

well get the fucker built and on sale you useless cunts no wonder jaguar is almost bankrupt coz its run by fuckwits with dog shit for brains

[MegaNightynight]

@pierrelareux. They just announced record profits because they launched a successful new car (Evoque). So, not sure you have much to offer other than big-boy swearing.

[ichoosetowakeup]

from side it looks like lotus

[liOVERLOADil]

The main focus of this video should have been the turbine based hybrid electric system... and it wasn't. Fail.

[NottinghamForest22]

Ian Callum designed the DB9. He should be knighted lol.

[flyinDPOD]

I am curious just exactly how they generate electrical power from the turbines. There is a video here showing a prototype turbine on a stand that the guy was able to hold in his hands, slightly larger than a hobby engine used in RC jets. I Imagine they have electric starter/generators driven by reduction gearing directly from the main shaft like early turbojets, but none of these videos go into that deep technical detail.

[no1diamondgeezer]

for once the designers didn't just trace the aston martin design

[infiniteDefinitives]

sounds like the designer guy on the apple product videos

[CHARLIETWW]

After releasing some many plain and even ugly cars, Jaguar finally is making some seriously awesome car, again.

[usfootman]

how did they solve problem of noise level from gas turbines???

[mr460114]

 See the video . Tigers and jaguars sell their propity acros tortugas to please Profepa and Semarnat

[MyTrevonne]

i hate concepts for the simple fact that its automotive companies saying : hey we could give you a better driving experience, but instead we're just going to upgrade our cars slightly just to get more money

[rocklee]

god damn it.. i wanna rob and rampage at bill gates mansion..

[Pianoguybohol]

Gorgeous ...

[malayrojak]

All I can say is... I want one.

[michaelfergusonuk]

@malayrojak Oh don't we all? ~_^

[edshift]

I'm really excited about this but not from a design point of view. The idea of a turbine generating electric power for the electric motors is inspired. We know turbine engines are very efficient at constant speeds. (Ref. Every plane you've ever been on.) This solves the problem of slow throttle response of the old GM turbine cars and sets out an idea of the future of car design that is wholly new and innovative. I think this is the best approach I've seen it came from Jaguar. Much respect. Luv.

[jmcjaye]

amazing !

[geHuC]

when that guys voice came up i though it was jonny ive talking :D

[dirkbruere]

Less arty PR BS and more tech please

[TheManu30]

impressive

[993isgawd]

Nice concept, but I suspect that its rear deck is going to need some additional aerodynamic work if they're going to achieve good stability at speed, unless they think that the underbelly tray will be able to achieve it all by itself.

[993isgawd]

"Dear...what did you do with the carpark ticket?"..."Um, I think the engine ate it."...

[barbarotico]

materialismo vanal y miserable!!!

vanal and misserable materialism

[HUDJames]

looks like a car you would see in tron.



[1966carp]

i just bougt my 1st JAG, Wish i would have done it along time ago!!!

[pikemancolley]

@1966carp yes there making great cars the future looks bright for jaguar

[iliabashel]

if someone have known what song is that...

sounds very cute...

[Fil056OrbBottom]

охуевшая 

[4godaddygo]

design is ok beauti is in the eye of the beholder,but will the twech,make it,to fruition......problably not,40k us wont happen... thing is with cars is you have to sell them......................

[croc17046]

front looks quite the same as a Spyker C8.....

[Bigtimekillr]

Electric cars are STUPID.

And why cars are getting uglier and uglier every year?

[Stephanvonbanhammer]

@Bigtimekillr yeah but this one can get 0- 60 in under 3 seconds. Also its top speed is 200+ not bad for a green car now is it? idiot. 

[MegaCoolShubham]

@Stephanvonbanhammer Now i'll have to search for @Bigtimekillr 's comment -_-.....

[MrMeanderthal]

@Stephanvonbanhammer the only idiots are the ones who think batteries and coal fired electric plants are green... I won't even bother with the idea of turbine engines for charging those batteries.. yes the car is cool and fast but it's not green by any stretch of the imagination.. unless you're an idiot..

[Stephanvonbanhammer]

@MrMeanderthal You should check the comment I was replying to troll before you jump like an idiot. Anyways I don't think any coal fired plants are green in the slightest. Ontop of that your simply trolling because its the top comment, I simply shot down some punk, I didn't ask to be in the spot light, it just happened. Go reply to posts earlier than 3 months because I frankly just don't care. This car is a marvle of sports car engineering i didn't say it was greener than a prisus.

[flyinDPOD]

@MrMeanderthal Actually it could be considered "GREEN" depending on how efficient the turbines are. Gas turbines can burn just about any flammable liquid or gas as fuel, from gasoline or diesel including biodiesel, even propane.

[cfiorenzoFTW]

You can really tell all the influences from the xj220 it almost the new version of it but I still think that the car is truly brilliant....

[jwilson1221]

The grill is the best part! As far as design goes...



[sawerek1]

i can have it. on gta...

[pavlakgoran]

Change front grill and car will be perfect.

[StuttgartBenz]

@pavlakgoran Ok, nice thought. But why exactly? What is so wrong with it?

[Mittelbaum]

@pavlakgoran

First, a grill is what you cook on. A car has a grille.

And what's wrong with the grille on the new Jag? You want to plaster it with chrome, or what?

Can't you recognise elegant design when you see it?

[dwardle]

I see 16 Porsche engineers saw this vid

[iliabashel]

@dwardle lol :D

[aurielcote]

What the hell are they talking about, what a pile of crap, we do not even know what it is.

POS

[Sebhelyesfarku]

looks good except the ghetto rims

[Chromirage]

@Sebhelyesfarku You didn't hear? Wal-Mart sells rims now not just caps...

[NorthernFirehawk]

I WANT!

[rickcain2320]

Its nice to produce cars for rich people, but the rest of us need electric cars too.

[yassineabdi]

@rickcain2320 I agee 100% i was just thinking of that before i saw the comments! lool

[Mtn86]

i wanna hear those freakin turbines in action dammit!

[redghost105]

amazing car, why go hybrid? keep the hybrids to cars that are used everyday

this being hyrbid and only going to have a few made, wont make much of a difference at all...they should just go ahead and fill it with a v-12 or v-10 or somethin

[MrBRL]

@redghost105 yeah but its a hybrid powered by two jet engines dude,how cool is that.

[redghost105]

@MrBRL It is pretty badass I admit, but why not have the actual turbine power the wheels like the Y2K bike?

it would probably go faster, or you could have the same set up but the electric motors only power the front of the car, and the actual turbines are hooked to the rear wheels, that would equal insane acceleration

[TheDh0ffryn]

@redghost105 because they are trying to show you can have a supercar that is economical, now before you go all high and mighty, think about this, 2 gas turbine engines trying to push alot of weight vs 2 gas turbine engines spinning power generation equipment, turbines work most efficiently when they reach a certain rpm and stay there, so the constant speed would make it alot smarter use of the turbines!

[jcfbell3001]

yes the body is very nice, but show me how the bloody thing works

[jasbirsinghlobana]

i am glad tata motors took over jaguars,,love u india

[blarson12]

This could be the next bond car or batmobile.

[Capitancanguro1]

The first turbine car was a Fiat in the 50s, it was called ' turbina'.

[jocsandoval]

Well, now with the BMW i8 and the Jaguar C-X75 there will be no room for other brands in the future, bye, bye Mercedes-Benz and Aston Martin

[beratio]

ferrari looking front

[MrVirtualparticle]

Gorgeous car, but I call bullshit on Jaguar's sustainability and environmental talk. A car that costs between $1.15 million and $1.48 million (options cost more than a house?) is a car that about 0.2% of drivers could even consider, and that does absolutely nothing for the planet. Why bother making it electric then? Pure greenwash.

[ricefarmer]

@MrVirtualparticle good point.. its a concept maybe the technology will go into more affordable cars later on

[brutsi]

@MrVirtualparticle Like Paul Garson said about the Y2K jet engine bike. "Because we can!"

Oh and also, the technology has to be created somewhere and will always be expensive at first.

[gruhonjic]

@MrVirtualparticle 1) The government will impose a mpg law in the future, forcing companies to maintain a high average number of mpg. Jaguar is not too large of a company so it cannot produce guzzlers of supercars and average it out with cheaper daily drivers. 2) The technology of concept and supercars trickles down the lineup of companies.

[DrSAM69]

Great car with incredible fuel efficiency considering it's a supercar but seriously the exterior needs to be redesigned, it would be a pity to market it with such a poor futuristic like exterior.

[wiigamer136]

I want it!!!!

[fastandfuriousfan100]

My dad has 2 jaguar's

[MajesticMalice]

@fastandfuriousfan100 pshhh mine has three and i have one! ;)

[Jetkillr]

front of the car looks like a Jag XJ220 halfway mixed with a Ferrari Italia

[pchumbod]

maserati granturismo + citroen gt. shows lack of imagination rly.

[EquinoxParadox91]

Fucking awesome car.

[rainprancer2403]

Love that there is finaly a car of the Future. Turbine's Yes! I would so have this car. My personal airplain on the road.

[laughinbudda01]

sick car

[streetpartying]

@MrBbznot1 a nimitz class ship is one powered by an on board nuclear reactor

[Scott123180]

I don't know that the air being sucked into the turbines behind your head will be such a good idea. But the car looks amazing! Maybe the air for the turbines could come through the top fin or the top flap

[MartinObviously]

@Scott123180 for road ones, they are fitting a 1.6 litre petrol engine, the turbine produces too much emissions on a cold start for now.

[MrCheezemania]

I guess it's a pretty "cool" car. I hope that they do make this car it seems nice. Jaguar pls make it. I hope to own one myself someday.

[Vonargandur]

electric turbine... you can only drive through water then? :P

[betonthebunny]

Well I'm from Australia......and you still can't beat the Landcruiser Ute, you can't shoot roos out the top of that thing!

[TheSmoonge]

Sure this is somewhat innovative in that it's different than the mass produced internal combustion cars, but it's not innovative at all in terms of new technology. In other words, electric cars aren't new and neither are turbines. Why not have something trully innovative like using nanotechnology to have all the body panels as solar collectors to power the electric motor or something like that.

[streetpartying]

@MrBbznot1 i personally want a nimitz class sports car...

[rbondot]

what the song please.............

[jumboyarm]

i see this car will probably have some big engine that will give no miles to the gallon when they have produced a perfect turbine that will run on electricity..come on jauar dont let ur self down, best you stick the turbine in and get full praises from all over the world for creating probably the best looking car ever made..

[djtiesto81818]

Advert of Opel before watching this vid XD

[user2156i]

I just amaze and drooling over this car..lol...

[imspecial2314]

I just had an orgasm. Beautiful!!!!

[NinjTwo]

@DroidNoid Just a shame they won't make it with the turbines :(

[astrialkil]

@NinjTwo Why wont they? Turbines meet emissions standards...there just very expensive.

[Rangeroversport12]

@astrialkil Jaguar actually stated they won't use turbines :(

[whole27]

@Rangeroversport12 i don't get why these car manufacturers aren't trying to use all these other energy sources and technology like solar, wind turbines, etc on normal everyday cars. These technology shouldn't be that expensive! Every business tries to nickel and dime the average joes

[Rangeroversport12]

@whole27 im guessing its to do with the economy and availability/demand, but i wish they would use use them

[ouzts12]

What's a Jagyurr?

[imbroken73]

sweet machine

[oatmealtv]

Turbines charge the batteries, batteries power the motors, so she can reverse and the turbines only need to go one way.

[BigManInCharge07]

Very Beautiful Car How about Reverse? I see the turbines does it goes backwards?

[DIINj27]

lol @ 0.43 ....they are saying its beautiful .....hahahaahah it simply isn't:/

[thedragon44]

nice background sounds what is it?

[MajesticMalice]

Proud owner of a jaguar... I expect nothing but the best from them and there cars are always top of the line and unique. You know a jag when you see one and this is exactly what this is. Beautiful car.

[Benji19922]

12 ppl own a shitbox.

[ToomuchBTUstoday]

I wonder if John DeLorean could have been a contender in this arena.I hope Jaguar can make a revolution out of this car like the Mini when it first came out.All the winning ideas and components are here,make it come out right.Success can be a double edged sword.

[xDilutedx]

- Look at those awful blind spots, and I thought my Eclipse was a bitch with its blind spots..

I hate how "new" cars look.. Like we want futuristic shit.. Bring back the 90s, cars looked great, the women were fit and the music was still good.

[WTHLunatic]

from whats being posted on the net this car will only be 200k thats perfect if i may say so. makes it reachable for many people they will make huge money on this car.

[NihilisticPriest]

The great thing about this car is, that it is going to be expensive to buy, but cheaper to run, unlike other supercars.

[saykopikey]

fapfapfapfapfapfap lolz :C:C:CX:X::X:X:X:X:X i wish i could have this car lolsDCXSC:ZX:CX:X:CX::X

[Itsmeeman1]

Did anyone else notice the design mistake? ... Anyone? ... Yeah, that's right,... they forgot to design a place for the number plates!!! It's the small details like that, that make a true work of art into an almost work of art!

[Dethphunk]

@Itsmeeman1 lol its only a concept

[Itsmeeman1]

1) Shame they're not going to build this as anything other than a concept car.

2) 12 people here are Arab Oil Company cock suckers!!

[Mephisto2102]

Gekauft :-))

[jasbirsinghlobana]

wao damm nice car ,,tata great company ,,since tata took over jaguar,now its whole new jaguar ,,,love u india

[Fearsting]

I bet this car will be in the new Need For Speed

[AlphaZorks]

woops i dropped my papers. float toward the turbines... zzzzeeerrrrnnnneeeee

[9zerocool4]

beautiful car but the front could have been better

[TheSmoonge]

@9zerocool4 Agreed. There's no reason to have a gaping maw at the front if the engine is in the back and underneath. Totally ruins the beautiful lines.

[EspritDeMusique]

@9zerocool4

it was trying to put a modern twist on the old style jaguar body

[blacksheep0001]

@9zerocool4 i think they may have used a similar front end to that of the XJ220

[Error9762]

[MrLangstar]

Whats wrong with Jet engines, i'd be faster than a 4-Cyl

[atomiconnection]

Should be a nice challenge to the Bugatti.

[nachofink]

what a beautiful sound!! OMG! :P

[BiologicalUnit2380]

gotta be one of the - if not *the*- most gorgeous sportscars I've ever seen.

[str8forthakill]

Its funny how the designers dont know shit about technology, its amazing how they can make an extremely shitty and flawed design sound "awesome" when in reality its nowehere near their dreams.

Jet turbines sound like jet engines, and they want to place them next to your ears? what are thery trying to do, suck your bran out through your ears?

Design, 10 out of 10

The rest? fantasy.

[Speedball5432]

@str8forthakill considering the engines of a jet are 5 times bigger tht might be such a problem on this car

[johndoe528]

@str8forthakill ...fail troll fails. You've only proven how little you know about technology.

you know they made a bike with a turbine engine, right? its loud, but ridable. M1 Abrams tank? Turbine engine. It's a good design with an impressive power-weight ratio.

[MrPiztol]

Cross of an Aston Martin with a Jaguar... = C-X75

[kitt998]

this car is amazingly beautiful for the most part, but i'm not so sure about the front - that huge radiator grill (even though it's a staple of jaguar) doesn't fit in with the rest. bit of a shame really...

[MrForestpotato]

this is a one hell most thirsty road car on earth

[vuyou123]

This car was featured on Top Gear, it is said it will do 0-60 in 3.8 sec and a top speed of 205mph. The price is expected to be £200k.

[marshgre]

Just watched this video again and I just had a thought...

What if it sucked a discarded coffee cup into a turbine on the highway? :-o

Seriously, I need to see this car in my garage... Just let move the rusty VW Jetta and broken lawnmower. Oh and look for the several million $ I think I left in there.

[josheskimo]

@marshgre of course there are grilles and filters...

[marshgre]

@josheskimo Yes. But I wonder what the longterm longevity of an 80000 rpm turbine would be? I know that it doesn't matter with a car of this type but using turbines in other more pedestrian hybrid cars may be a more efficient option over piston engines.

[PS3DUDE290]

they didnt say that the car isnt actually working yet

[NeonGenesisX]

god damn jag did it again fking sexy as car

[hfzmu]

jaguar have been at these kind of design for years. Their concept cars designed 10 years ago are now being used by their XK and their XJ. But look, they are not going to make this car. Look Jaguar, we know you have the ideas and beautiful design. NOW GO MAKE IT!!!!

[ukrkoz]

@hfzmu

actually, this is nothing but a modern re-conception of the very first hybrid vehicle designed and made by - who else - Ferdi Porsche. either end of 19th or the very beginning of the 20th century. had 4 wheel motors, powered by battery power, with conventional engine running electrical generator to charge batteries. did 1000 miles on batteries charge. bested any electric vehicle of today.

FREAKIN BEAUTIFUL....most beautiful eva seen.....gud work jaguar....

[nigely0ung]

Yet another brilliant piece of thoroughly brilliant British Engineering from chassis, electric control, motors and micro-turbines. Well done to the UK Jaguar team and their suppliers, regularly the first to innovate but often not to benefit. Very good luck to the team! As a bonus it is totally beautiful in every way. FANTASTIC!

[rossoneri801]

nooo coment the best car i have seen :D
