The latest iteration of Jaguar's 'Redefining Performance' ethos, the system is based round a prototype supercharged all-alloy V6 engine which produces 380 PS (280 kW) and 332 lb ft (450 Nm) of torque from 3.0-litres thanks to its revolutionary design. Supplementing this is an electrical motor producing 70 kW and 235 Nm (equivalent to 95 PS and 173 lb ft), out there to the motive force at the push of a steering-wheel increase button.
Allied to an eight-speed gearbox and mounted in a lightweight aluminium chassis this enables the Jaguar C-X16 Idea to dash to 62mph in 4.four seconds and attain 186mph while returning 41mpg (UK gallon) and emitting 165g/km of CO2.
The aluminium bodywork is wrapped as intently to those mechanicals as doable to distil the essence of Jaguar sports cars into the subsequent evolution of an already award-successful design language. By stretching the principle feature lines again from the focus fashioned by the grille and pushing the wheels as far into the corners as doable, the car has a taut, poised-for-motion stance that's unmistakeably Jaguar.
The interior showcases necessary future technologies similar to multimodal rotary controls. These incorporate miniature OLED screens, which reconfigure to mirror the completely different capabilities that may be carried out by way of the controls, all of which are designed for optimum compatibility between sports activities car needs and everyday usabilityAn instance of that is the full smartphone integration by way of the 'Join and View' system by which the central Touch-Display screen reconfigures to imitate the display of a linked device. The central screen additionally incorporates a second-technology interface with fingertip touch supplemented by buttons that present brief cuts to high-degree menu functions.
The cabin is trimmed within the most interesting leather and Suedecloth. As anticipated of a Jaguar, premium supplies are used throughout, with the principle touch surfaces composed of a mix of anodised aluminium, wealthy piano blacks, dark chrome and carbon-fibre that underline the automotive's performance potential. The manually-adjustable bucket seats are product of lightweight composite supplies with a central carbon-fibre spine for rigidity and support.
REDEFINING PERFORMANCE
"C-X16 draws inspiration from each our sporting qualities and our current modern analysis into future powertrain technologies and consequently delivers an irresistible proposition on each emotional and rational levels." - Adrian Hallmark, World Model Director, Jaguar Cars
The 2010 Jaguar C-X75 supercar idea presaged a game-changing approach to performance vehicles with its vary-extending hybrid powertrain. Now, the C-X16 represents a further avenue of research in Jaguar's mission to develop sustainable powertrain applied sciences and produce them to production.
The Jaguar performance ethos has its roots in the company's Superior Aluminium Structure programme, which focuses on agility, power-to-weight and sustainability benefits. The Limo Green venture, performed in association with the Know-how Technique Board, combined this class-main building with a extremely experimental hybrid powertrain that was additional developed in the C-X75 supercar concept.
The subsequent stage is represented here in C-X16 by real-world hybrid applied sciences that improve the driving expertise as well as the automobile's environmental credentials.
HYBRID TRANSMISSION
The Jaguar C-X16 Concept signposts how the following technology of Jaguar sports activities vehicles will produce their energy in an environmentally conscious manner. The concept is propelled by a hybrid powertrain that mixes an all-alloy V6 engine with a performance-boosting electric motor impressed by the System One KERS system.
The purpose of this hybrid-efficiency system is threefold: to supplement the V6 engine's already prodigious energy by an on-demand 'Push to Move' system; to reduce gas consumption; and to permit the C-X16 to perform as a zero tailpipe-emissions electric automobile at speeds of as much as 50mph on low throttle openings.
Clever Stop/Begin
The starting point is Jaguar's eight-velocity transmission with Intelligent Cease/Start, not too long ago launched to great acclaim within the XF sports saloon. The system can shut down the engine in just 300 milliseconds after the automobile has come to relaxation and utilises a Twin Solenoid Starter (TSS) that's able to restarting it within the time it takes the driving force's foot to journey from the brake to the accelerator. This provides for quicker restoration and seamless efficiency beyond the capabilities of any existing competitor in production and is the primary time such a system has been used with a supercharged engine.
Vitality Restoration
The Jaguar C-X16 Idea extends the Cease/Begin system's performance by linking it to a transmission-built-in motor generator mounted as one unit with the gearbox. This draws energy from a 1.6kWh lithium-ion battery pack mounted behind the seats for good weight distribution.
As in essentially the most demanding motorsport atmosphere, Jaguar employs a Kinetic Energy Restoration System (KERS). The battery pack is predominantly charged via a rear axle electro-hydraulic brake power regeneration system.
Efficiency on demand
A dashboard show graphic signifies when the extra enhance provided by the electrical motor might be deployed. When charged, a 'Push to Cross' boost button mounted on the steering wheel permits access to a further 70kW and 235Nm of torque (equal to 95PS and 173lb ft) for up to 10 seconds. Because of the lag-free nature of an electrical motor, this power is instantaneously available. The battery is consistently and automatically recharged, all the system overseen by a Hybrid Automobile Supervisory Controller.
Both the battery pack and electrical motor mounted within the Jaguar C-X16 Concept are liquid cooled preventing them losing efficiency as warmth builds up throughout spirited use. To cool the battery the advanced electronics draw chilled coolant from the climate-management system, the compressor for which is itself electrical slightly than engine-driven to cut back losses. The hybrid system is placed inside the wheelbase of the car to aid weight distribution and maximise agility by reducing the polar moment of inertia.
SUPERCHARGED V6
The entrance-mounted supercharged V6 engine develops 380PS (280kW) and 332lb ft (450Nm) of torque from a capability of 3.zero-litres. A modular improvement of the award-profitable Jaguar AJ-V8, the all-new powerplant factors the way in which to the next era of highly environment friendly, powerful, petrol-fuelled internal combustion engines.
The new V6 is of the identical lightweight aluminium structure as the eight-cylinder engine with a excessive-stress, die-solid block with cross-bolted foremost bearing caps for increased strength and refinement. The quad-cam, four-valve-per-cylinder heads are constructed from recycled aluminium to cut back the environmental affect of manufacturing.
Optimised for bore and stroke, the V6 also features a second-technology Direct Injection combustion system with a raised compression ratio of 10.5:1. A revised electronic bypass for the sixth-era twin vortex Roots-kind supercharger permits rather more precise enhance management to cut back fuel consumption.
Efficiency and Refinement
These advances in efficiency enable the V6 to produce a selected energy output of 126PS per litre. Allied to the performance-boosting electric motor the result is astonishing - zero-62mph in 4.four seconds, a restricted top velocity of 186mph and in-gear acceleration of simply 2.1 seconds between 50 and 75mph. The benefits of the hybrid system prolong past being merely sporting, decreasing CO2 emissions to 165g/km and returning 41mpg on the mixed cycle.
To make sure the powerplant delivers not solely the power but additionally the refinement that Jaguars are well-known for, the V6 includes a patented system of independently rotating balancer weights at the front and rear of the engine. Anybody acquainted with the graceful, powerful V8 will discover that the V6 shares all its energy supply and refinement characteristics, with after all its personal stirring soundtrack, while delivering significantly improved gasoline consumption and emissions meeting SULEV 30 and EU VI standards.
DESIGN
"This car has been designed from first principles. It is an evolution of the design ethos of previous Jaguars and defines the agenda for a way forward for dramatic, revolutionary sports cars. Purity of line and intent is what Jaguar does best." - Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar Cars
If anything might be said to define Jaguar designs it is one word: drama. The Jaguar C-X16 Concept is not any exception, taking the traditional two-seater sports automotive template and redefining it within the Jaguar idiom.
In its easiest type, sports automotive design is defined by the relationship between the mechanicals and the bodywork. The goal at Jaguar has all the time been to wrap the shape as tightly as doable around the operate to create a taut, sculpted appearance that could solely be that of a Jaguar. Completed in Gunmetal, there is no such thing as a wasted area, motion or surface on the Jaguar C-X16 Idea, every line serves its goal in creating a whole that's more than the sum of its parts.
Purity of Line
The Jaguar C-X16 Concept moves the award-successful Jaguar design language on to the following degree and is startling in its simplicity, defined as it is by three 'heartlines'; the front wing crease, the rear haunches that wrap into the tail and the sweeping roofline.
"The stance of this automotive is everything. It is fundamentally a driving machine and that has driven every side of the design. We have now pulled the three signature heartlines again as far as we are able to to create a dynamic tension. The car possesses a sense of latent power; the potential to leap instantly into action." - Ian Callum, Director of Design, Jaguar Vehicles
The Jaguar C-X16 Idea also makes use of newly established Jaguar styling signatures such because the subtly rounded trapezoidal grille. Inspired by the C-X75 concept automobile and recognisably related to the present XF and XJ, this is the point of interest for the entrance end of the car, providing instantaneous rear view mirror recognition.
Muscular Definition
The muscular clamshell bonnet is defined on the outer edges by two sharp creases rising alongside the higher edges of the front wings. These start in the gill-like strakes dividing the air intakes flanking the grille earlier than blending away into the shoulder line operating along the doors. The significance of this front wing line is emphasised by the angular type of the headlights, which intentionally follow the rising wing to lead the attention up and along the contours of the automotive slightly than cut throughout them.
The horizontal front wing vents, like those within the bonnet, are completed in carbon-fibre.
The defining position of the entrance wing line is taken up by an additional finely chiselled crease that forms a double 'coke-bottle' curve, swelling outwards and upwards from the waist of the automotive to embody the muscular haunches which are a Jaguar hallmark. This feature line then swoops, unbroken, round the rear of the automotive to create the tail, which mimics the looks of the trailing fringe of a swept aeroplane wing.
The rear lights proceed the theme set with the C-X75 by extending around the flanks of the car instantly beneath the tail crease to literally spotlight the powerful width of the rear track and, just like the grille, provide on the spot recognition that this can be a Jaguar sports activities car.
Aerodynamic Simplicity
With the intention to retain the unblemished muscularity and uninterrupted airflow alongside the flanks of the car, the door handles are completely flush with the bodywork. Touch sensors built into the handles set off silent electrical motors, which present the machined aluminium handles to driver and passenger.
The same want for gorgeous simplicity has driven the aerodynamic component of the Jaguar C-X16 Idea's design, with no unnecessary wings or spoilers. Downforce is supplied by a discreet front splitter, Venturi-effect tail design and side sills to channel air easily along the automobile's flanks, all of which are completed in carbon fibre. The sharp crease created the place the curve of the roof meets the tail additionally aids the aerodynamics by guaranteeing the air separates cleanly from the bodywork at high speed.
Even standing still, the sense of function and energy inherent in the Jaguar C-X16 Idea is unmistakeable because of a stance that optimises the relationship between the bodywork and the 21-inch alloy wheels which have been pushed to the extremes edges of the car and finished with a carbon-fibre inlay.
INTERIOR
The singularity of objective exhibited by the exterior styling of the Jaguar C-X16 Concept is bolstered the second the door is opened, whereupon driver and passenger are greeted by a dramatic red interior trimmed in the most interesting materials; leather, Suedecloth, anodised machined aluminium, carbon-fibre and darkish chrome.
Vermillion Crimson Inside
The automotive is clearly centred around the driver and underlines its 'One plus One' structure by intentionally creating as cocooned and cosseting an area as possible. The center-stirring potential of the C-X16 is underlined by the selection of visceral Vermillion Purple as the first color and trim theme throughout.
Plane-inspired Format
The Jaguar C-X16 Idea takes inspiration for parts of its format from aeronautical ergonomics, such as the joystick-style gearlever and banks of toggle switches that additionally reference basic racing Jaguars. As a result of this pondering the dashboard has been shrink-wrapped across the driver to supply the most effective view ahead, permitting the automotive to be positioned with absolute precision in corners, aided by the sharp creases on high of the front wings.
The will to keep the top of the dashboard as unadorned as possible led to the creation of an Clever Venting System. Governed by advanced algorithms inbuilt to the advanced local weather management, this double vent - impressed by the intakes on the Hurricane fighter jet - deploys out of the dash to supply an intense blast of scorching or cold air as wanted to rapidly alter the cabin temperature and then discreetly retracts when the desired stage is reached.
In the same approach that the outside door handles are hid until activated, a desire for ergonomic clarity means aspects of the interior remain 'secret till required'. Pushing the starter button initiates an plane-inspired beginning sequence that powers up the hidden-until-lit shows in a cascade down the centre console. What appears to be like at first sight like a TFT display in front of the motive force is revealed to be a chic twin-dial instrument panel, a hallmark of Jaguar sports cars, hidden behind smoked glass.
Dual-perform Switchgear
With Jaguar already a frontrunner in Touch-Display expertise, the C-X16 options the subsequent generation of the system, augmenting the central display with two rows of 'House' keys on both side that present shortcuts to high-level menu functions. Further controls take their inspiration from devices akin to smartphones and tablets and supply multimodal functionality.
The rotary heating controls are constructed from machined aluminium and anodised in dark gunmetal; conventional materials however within the centre of each is a miniature OLED show which reconfigures in line with how the controls are used. Rotating the controls alters the temperature on respective sides of the automotive but pushing them modifications their functionality; they now control the heating and cooling capabilities of the seats.
The switchgear is framed in carbon-fibre and features refined 'watch-like' darkish chrome highlights whereas the gearlever and dynamic mode selector swap are surrounded by red anodised aluminium to emphasize their purpose.
Connectivity
The centre console armrest homes Jaguar's 'Join and View' system. Developed in conjunction with Blackberry™, this allows smartphones from a spread of producers to be plugged into the machined aluminium tray between the front seats, whereupon the central Touch-Display reconfigures to replicate that telephone's display. The system will communicate with nearly all of the smartphone's features and has the potential to deliver a host of options dependent in the marketplace and the device.
Carbon-fibre development
Constructed from light-weight composite materials the close-becoming and supportive racing seats feature handbook adjustment to further scale back weight. A central carbon-fibre spine runs up the centre of every seatback to bolster it.
The structural properties of carbon-fibre are additional utilised in a bracing bar that flows again from the centre console dividing the seats and then splits in two, earlier than being bolted to the rear suspension turrets to provide extra rigidity. Further carbon-fibre is found within the centre console, framed by the tailored passenger seize handle that flows organically from the dashboard to the transmission tunnel. The floor is completed in aluminium and black Poltrona Frau leather-based that has been subtly hand quilted with a Hex pattern influenced by the historic Jaguar lozenge - this same motif is discovered stitched into the Suedecloth headlining.
Nestled discreetly behind the entrance seats are the lithium-ion battery pack and inverter that present power to the hybrid drive system. Positioned here for optimum weight distribution, they are hidden below an aluminium cowl machined from solid and designed with integral warmth sinks.
