This latest concept delivers a striking black-and-white contrast, a yin-and-yang if you will, to its expertly crafted physique. The Concept: Jaguar XJ75 Platinum Edition will make you think of the precious metal from its look to its performance, shelling out 470 horsies of power with a 5.0-litre, supercharged direct-injection V8 and 424 lb.-ft. of torque.

But, if you ask me, 90% of all Jaguar cars are more beautiful than this one. I really don't like its back, but i think i could get used to it if i get it as a gift :)
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. 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.
