This car looks sooo sexy.

From the Top Gear Website

Up front there's a 3.0-litre supercharged V6 engine producing 380bhp and 332lb ft of torque. But that's not all. Integrated into the eight-speed gearbox is a motor generator mounted behind the seats that draws power from a battery pack (itself charged through brake energy regeneration, like KERS on an F1 car) that provides 95bhp and 173lb ft of boost via a steering-wheel-mounted button. A boost button, if you will. Boost buttons are good.

0-62mph takes 4.4 seconds, top speed is 186mph and the acceleration from 50-75mph takes just 2.1 seconds. Should you run out of juice, the C-X16 can travel up to 50mph on electric power alone while CO2 emissions sit at just 165g/km.

And the interior is less concept-car space fiction, more production-car reality too. The doors get grab handles - a statement of intent, no doubt - the instruments are regular dials and the aircon knobs have little screens on them displaying the temperature. The carbon-backed seats might be a tad uncompromising, and you can probably spec something less red, but otherwise it's all business in here.

Now, the good part: it's going into production. Soon. We'll likely see the C-X16 at the end of 2012 with a naturally-aspirated V6, supercharged V6 and a hybrid. Diesel and V8 variants will probably follow, if you ask nicely...

Jaguar design chief Ian Callum said: "Jaguars have always been dramatically different. With the C-X16 we have moved the current award-winning design language on to the next generation, creating a car that is the very essence of future Jaguar performance."

It'll make its public debut next week at the Frankfurt motor show, where - we're pretty sure - lots of people will sell members of their family to purchase one. It can't come soon enough.

Is it the mustang v6 motor with a blower?

I wonder if a small pulley would make this into a luxury street rocket.

GM better get the C7 right...
Definitely a nice car!

I drive a JAG-U-AR

dennis26 · 09-14-2011, 08:32 PM

It looks great. I hear the price will be in the 80K range.

Looks sick!

Jag looks great. I love the direction Tata has been taking with Jaguar. They have been making all the right marketing moves since taking over. Going away from Ford strategy of mass-producing luxury with cheaper material and lowering prices hence allowing those who shouldn't have afforded the car in the first place. Those who can afford such luxurious car will buy it no matter what the high price is. It also helps to have designs pretty close to the Aston Martins.

batman_4 · 09-15-2011, 12:22 AM

The C-X16 concept could very well become a production model as a competitor to Porsche's entry-level Cayman and Boxster sports cars. It's a two-seater with a 375-horsepower 3.0-liter V6 engine and, in this concept version at least, a hybrid system that provides 94 horsepower more at the press of a button.
