the vehicle also features a “Push to Pass” hybrid system readily available as a steering wheel button, where with a touch of a button, activates an electric motor that’s integrated into the 8-speed gearbox, dosing the car with an additional 92-horsepower and (68-kW) and further twisting the metal with 173-lb-ft (235-Nm) of torque, propelling this magnificent car from zero to hundred in just 4.3-seconds and on its way to a top speed of 186 mph (299 km/h). these days, automakers are careful what the car gives back to the environment and on this note, the Jaguar boast an equally impressive CO2 emission of 165 g/km and the car’s electric drive is capable of achieving a speed of 50-mph (80 km/h).
as said, the design may look traditional but at least the chances of this concept seeing the light of production is pretty high. how do i know? because the car has the look of our time and there are fancy gadgets but merely a marriage of performance and eco-friendliness. check out a gallery of C-X16 Concept after the break.
