When Design and Technology meet Future - Jaguar C-X16 !

Auto car giant Jaguar has unveiled a new concept car named C-X16, which is said to be a perfect blend of sensational design and futuristic technology. C-X16 is designed using traditional front-engine, rear-wheel drive formula with performance in mind.

This system is based on a prototype supercharged all-alloy V6 engine which produces 375HP (280 kW) and 332 lb-ft of torque from the capacity of 3.0 litre. Powered with eight speed gearbox, C-X16 can cross 100 kmph in just 4.4 seconds. The anodized aluminium, rich piano blacks, dark chrome and carbon fiber are used for bodywork which have a great impact on car's look and performance. Interior design is too sporty with vermillion red and incorporated with futuristic technology like miniature OLED touchscreens and complete smartphone integration through 'connect and view' system.

Intelligent ventilating system will adjust the cabin temperature automatically to keep you comfortable through long journeys. Interior aspects can be kept hidden or open, anytime, as you like ! The intelligent start/stop technology helps to start or stop the car at an eye blink, which leads to faster recovery and seamless performance !


The V6 engine also uses the same light weight aluminium architecture, which also feature second generation 'Direct Injection Fueling System' with a compression ratio of 10.5:1. This car uses liquid cooling system to prevent heat buildups and performance loss.

Jaguar C-X16 has all the features of a sport car, but mainly designed to meet your everyday usage needs. I loved the rear-end look, which I think, is too sexy ! what do you say ? ;)
