Jaguar has released a new video with the C-X75 hybrid supercar which never made it as a production model.

Being described as a “state-of-the-art hybrid supercar with the efficiency of a low-emissions city car”, the C-X75 was revealed in September 2010 at the Paris Motor Show. It tops out at 354kmph and has CO2 emissions of less than 89 g/km. It completes a 0-100 in about 2.8 seconds owing to a 7-speed automated manual gearbox that switches gears in less than 200ms.

The core of the C-X75 is an F1-inspired 1.6-liter 4-cylinder turbocharged and supercharged engine that churns out a massive 502PS at 10,000rpm. A rev range of 10,000rpm is like creating a gravity field of its own. The engine works in tandem with two electric motors which provide a combined 390PS for a jaw-dropping total output of more than 850PS and 1,000Nm of torque. Both the electric motors are 150kW motors.

It can function on electric power alone and also provide a zero-emission maximum range of 60 km. It creates more than 200kg of downforce at 322kmph thanks to the deploy-able aerofoil and underfloor aerodynamics.

“The C-X75 programme represents the pinnacle of Jaguar’s engineering and design expertise. It is arguably the world’s fastest test-bed for the world’s most advanced technologies, combining as it does a remarkable hybrid powertrain with awe-inspiring performance. Jaguar is always looking to shape the cars of tomorrow and with projects like C-X75 we are laying the foundations for the next generation of Jaguar innovations,” said Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director of Jaguar.
