Jaguar Land Rover Demonstrates Sustainable Future with Two New Reveals at 2010 Los Angeles Auto Show
November 30, 2010- A new era of modern, sustainable and alternative drive transportation begins at the Los Angeles Show this November. As a recognized trendsetter for the automotive industry, Los Angeles has become the place for auto manufactures to showcase their innovations in advanced technology and cutting edge designs that make their vehicles more environmentally friendly and sustainable.
As this new era begins, Jaguar Land Rover will unveil two new vehicles that demonstrate its commitment to producing beautiful, versatile vehicles powered by sustainable means:
Jaguar C-X75 Concept
The Jaguar C-X75 Concept is a stunning four-wheel drive electric supercar. Designed to celebrate 75 years of the brand it provides a peek into the future of Jaguar, and hints at the possibilities of what performance, luxury and style would look like in a range-extended electric vehicle.
Advanced design features such as a ground-breaking propulsion system and active aerodynamics allow for an elegantly simple fuselage section that remains stable at very high speeds. The vehicle releases zero (0) tailpipe emissions for the first 68 miles while running solely on battery power.
Key features:
- Capable of reaching 205mph, the C-X75 can accelerate from 0-60mph in just 3.4 seconds
- Four powerful 195bhp electric motors – one for each wheel - produce 780bhp and an astonishing total torque output of 1180lb ft.
- Two micro gas-turbines, spinning at 80,000 rpm, can generate enough electricity to extend the range to a remarkable 560 miles; and produce just 28 grams of CO2 per kilometre from the car’s plug-in charge capability
Range Rover Evoque
Land Rover will unveil the 5-door Range Rover Evoque -- the smallest, lightest, and most-fuel efficient car that Land Rover has ever produced. The Evoque brings the acclaimed LRX concept car into production reality, capturing the original design of this landmark cross-coupé concept. It delivers top rate levels of craftsmanship, luxury, performance and renowned Land Rover all-terrain capability into a premium compact package.
Key features:
- Class-leading sustainability - efficient power trains and advanced lightweight material
