Elegance, power and sustainability combined in Jaguar's 75th anniversary concept car. First debuted at the Paris Auto Show and more recently presented in LA, Jaguar's C-X75 concept car is a celebration of design, innovation and class. Loosely based on the classic XJ13 concept the C-X75 exhibits the power and elegance of a supercar while showcasing cutting edge technology that makes it super efficient and environmentally friendly. Each wheel on the C-X75 is driven by an individual 145kW electric motor which are all powered by one large 19.6kWh lithium ion battery. This system delivers all wheel drive and promises to provide extra control and traction as well as intense torque (0-62 in 3.4 seconds). On a single charge, which takes 6 hours from a conventional household plug to achieve, the C-X75 can travel up to 68 miles with zero emissions.
For extended range Jaguar has utilized some fantastic aeronautical engineering technology by equipping the vehicle with two 70kW gas powered micro turbines. The turbines can used to quickly recharge the internal battery or can be used in conjunction with the battery to achieve the cars top speed of 205 mph. If you plan on taking a more leisurely drive the turbine charged batteries provide the car with a theoretical range of 560 miles.
The vehicle has an complex ventilation system incorporated into the exterior design to cool the micro turbines. There are no side-view mirrors, instead cameras built into the back feed directly to a screen inside the cabin. The beautiful angles highlight the slick hyper aerodynamic look and are complimented by the beautiful 21 and 22 inch aluminum wheels. Up to 50% of the the light weight aluminum used in constructing the car is recycled and increases the performance and economy.
As with previous Jaguar models the interior is designed completely around the driver. The seats are fixed into the frame so upon entering the vehicle a flip of a switch brings the entire steering wheel, instrument panel and pedal box toward the driver for optimal positioning. The aeronautical theme is continued in the cabin, the started switch is positioned on an overhead control panel and the gear shift is modeled after the throttle control from a fighter jet. The information panels are also air craft inspired with a 3D simulated heads up display. Never to be out classed Jaguar added a nice analog detail, a custom designed watch from Bremont that mounts into the center console and is wound by the stopping and starting movements of the car.
SPESIFIKASI Mobil Jaguar | Kembangkan Mesin Hybrid yang Canggih
Jaguars reportedly are testing a promising hybrid engine power and increase strength by 80 bhp to 20 percent increase in fuel economy.
The machine was placed at the rear of the XF prototype being tested. And being evaluated as alternatives for hybrid batteries that can store energy during braking done.
The project was called by the name of flywheel Hybrid System for Premium Vehicle (FHSPV) and funded approximately Rp30 billion by the government's Technology Strategy Board.
"FHSPV is really a due diligence exercise facilities. We need to see the mechanical flywheel and compared with electric hybrid. Then see if the technology has the future in order to produce," Project Head FHSPV said Daniel Loftus is quoted from Autocar, on Saturday (18 / 9 / 2010)
Composite flywheel is driven through a gearbox / Torotrak Xtrac CVT and rotates up to 60 000 rpm to keep the peak power of 60kW, the equivalent of 80bhp.
Then there is a computer that will control the power flow from and to the flywheel, which can rotate and give encouragement in every part of the driving cycle, including performance when moving. Although there is only enough energy to provide peak power of 80 hp for about seven seconds.
Jaguar is also currently testing the stop-start fashion in the city, which means gathering flywheel energy during braking and then provide power at start-ups to conserve fuel.
Combined with stop-start system, Jaguar has recorded significant fuel savings of about 20 percent.
However, future production is still unclear, mainly due to the falling cost of hybrid batteries and electric energy savings have not become the industry standard.
