2012 Jaguar XKR-S Review

Making its debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2011, the Jaguar XKR-S is the most extreme expression of the passion of Jaguar cars in building beautiful, fast. For the first time with a series production car, Jaguar gains entry through the '300kph exclusive club "of effortless performance of the supercharged 5.0-liter AJ-V8. A revised map half feeds the engine with direct injection and now 550P produces 680 Nm of torque. Recalibration extensive that have ensured the delivery of power and performance are transparent, which contributes to the hour 0 to 60 mph in 4.2 seconds. The active performance exhaust encourages and rewards the enthusiastic driver with The drama, inspired by the auditory feedback of motor sports.

Jaguar XKR-S is not only the fastest Jaguar ever, but also. More agile, responsive, focused and driver Pinnacle XK range is based on feedback from the supercharged XKR, and was developed to expand the parameters of performance of the car. This is a new cut harder nature of the enthusiastic driver that allows to investigate the dynamics of the external borders of the car without losing the sophistication and usability that Jaguar is renowned. The structural integrity of the lightweight aluminum frame does not interrupt work on a measure of components for increased stiffness without loss of the right or the refinement of Jaguar's legendary ride comfort. Custom aluminum front suspension knuckles and checked the back of the geometry of the Allies are stiffer springs and shock absorbers, forged alloy wheels and to adjust the control to minimize any delays in response and produce more, and the experience of handy guide.

Performance Jaguar XKR-S is specified as its interior and exterior design, which features a new paint colors that reflect the unique sporting heritage of Jaguar. As the Jaguars of the past competition, the outer surface of the XKR-S is consistent with the principle of function following form. In addition to design changes, and carry up to 300 km, the XKR-S has been extensively developed Computational Fluid Dynamics. Changes arising from the front and rear lift more than one quarter reduced, and optimized for lateral aerodynamic stability.

The performance for Jaguar XKR-S is clear from the moment the driver enters the cabin, with new seat performance with prominent shoulder blades cosseting for close support when cornering hard. The seats have 16-way adjustment, memory and functions of heating, while a new three-spoke steering wheel provides the perfect interface between car and driver.

Styling

Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars, "The style of this car is not an image issue, it is true about the interpretation of other iconic Jaguar before it, the style was driven by pure geometry and aerodynamic design real physics required to reach 300kph .. led to the aesthetics, if you do not like how it looks, is probably not the way you drive. "

Jaguar's first fully designed under the Design Director Ian Callum the XK has won awards worldwide for its elegant appearance. Now change the style remains preserving the XKR-S at the forefront of modern sports car. Thinner, LED headlights, the main air intake and exhaust compact vertical electrical side contribute to a more specific look front. At the rear of the car's famous "Leaper" Jaguar is taking the place of honor in the center of the trunk lid.

The Jaguar XKR-S has also required changes to achieve aerodynamic speed 300kph above the imperturbable manner expected of a Jaguar and was designed with an eye only for the purity of line and the singularity of purpose. As the XKR-S is close to its maximum speed is not a requirement of proper air duct above, around and under the car to maintain stability and ensure a balanced front and rear support. A general reduction in the lift of 26 percent was achieved.

Revisions were made after the major CFD work, demonstrated by wind tunnel tests and are exclusive to the flagship XK. The most dramatic changes have been applied to the front of the car, to radically change their appearance and give a firmer appearance. A new bumper features vertical lines near the edges of execution according to the oval air intake and support the carbon fiber splitter and spoiler below. In the extreme edges of the front wings, vertical air channel slots on the sides of the car and throughout the sills, high-speed directional stability.

In order to balance front and rear lift, the Jaguar XKR-S has a separate wing on the back for the first time in the XK range. It also has carbon fiber center section, is working with the structure built similarly Venturi below the rear bumper.

Self-confident look of a new Jaguar XKR-S has been subtly highlight some carefully selected only the details of this model. Outdoor equipment is finished in gloss black, complete with 20-inch light alloy forged Volcano finishing techniques in the dark.

The XKR-S is available in a choice of five colors of paint, two of which evoke the heritage of Jaguar Racing: Racing Italian racing red and blue French.

As the lining of a suit, the finish is provided by the brake calipers, available in red or bronze and named "Jaguar."

Performance / Power Train

Russ Varney, Chief Engineer of the program, XK, "The XKR-S, we have exploited the inherent capabilities of the architecture of aluminum to its full extent to create a derivative of performance track-able to extend all the characteristics of the vehicle and offers an irresistible "smile of satisfaction 'driver's reaction. "

Amazing engines have always been a strong beating heart Jaguar road cars and racing from the record six-cylinder in the V12 XK120 smooth, XJ12, which was the fastest four-door in the world when he was launched.

The AJ-V8 has joined the illustrious list once the first shot in life, but the Jaguar XKR-S is presented in its most powerful to date. Now in its third generation with the addition of overeating, all-aluminum dual overhead cam engine provides not only performance but also by the piety of built-efficient technologies, including a jet-guided direct injection (SGDI) and two independent time variable cam (DIVCT).

Fuel is delivered to the center of the combustion chambers at pressures up to 150bar injection system for the center-mounted six-hole-driven jet in order to maximize the air-fuel mixture and improve responsiveness especially at low speed. Has also increased the compression ratio of 9.5:1 to 9.1:1 to improve fuel economy, while several injections to reduce the heating phase to increase the catalyst efficiency and reduce emissions.

All four camshafts has a variable distribution system, instead of being controlled by oil pressure, are activated by positive and negative torque generated by the movement of inbound and outbound, allowing smaller pump more efficient oil to be mounted, further reducing fuel consumption. VCT units meet three times faster than before, with activation rates of more than 150 degrees per second at each speed range, making the engine more responsive Jaguar has built, with no gaps of in the delivery of power.

As the vehicle itself, the AJ-V8 has an aluminum architecture with cast iron block, high pressure increased slightly in cast iron liners and cross-bolt main bearing caps that contribute to the sophistication to match with his power. The four-valve cylinder heads are made from recycled aluminum to reduce the environmental impact of motor manufacturing.

Located in the "V" of the cylinders are Roots-type compressor vortex and two twin intercoolers to help give XKR-S with such force intrusive. This unit of the sixth generation of forced induction is 20 percent more thermodynamically efficient than its predecessor, while intercoolers have their own cooling water to reduce the temperature of the compressed air to optimize power and efficiency.

Excess energy produced by this system meant that it was a relatively simple matter of releasing an additional 40PS and 55nm in the standard XKR. Reassignment fueling the engine and increases the flow of exhaust gases by using an active exhaust system has increased the total production of 5.0-liter V8 is now 550P and 680 nm, which drives the more Jaguar powerful ever made, and allowing the Jaguar XKR-S to hit 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and 300kph cross the magic barrier with ease.

The performance of an active exhaust system, which helps to provide these services will also produce an exciting Spirited motorsport-inspired soundtrack to the award sound the enthusiastic driver.

Treatment

Mike Cross, chief engineer for vehicle integrity, "This car includes everything a Jaguar should be performance, so capable, accurate and exciting on a wet Welsh B-road as it is the Nurburgring Any delay in the response was minimized to give. the car more connected with the way he runs, runs, stops and goes. "

Jaguar pioneered the use of aluminum construction for mass production cars, with low mass of metal and tensile strength to maximize the benefits in terms of performance, agility and fuel emissions.

Platform behind the XK range that makes a car's lighter and more rigid in his weight class in running order 1753kg and is the torsional rigidity of 28 400 newtons can Fri. This principle has allowed the strength of the team of Jaguar vehicles Integrity, led by Mike Cross, to develop the dynamic properties of the Jaguar XKR-S size, without compromising refinement. Every Jaguar achieved a superior blend of sportiness and luxury amenities, and the XKR-S is the most driver focused on Jaguar ever made.

When the solid foundation of an architecture based on aluminum, as well as front and rear suspension has been updated. Double wishbone front suspension is a magazine entirely new joint steering aluminum substantially increases the rigidity of the wheel camber and 0.13 degrees for each pound of Newton to change the resolution and greater emphasis on access control, feedback and precision. Active Differential Control is programmed to reduce the control sensitivity at very high speeds, the car that can, in addition to stability and driver control.

Geometry of the rear suspension was revised with the rear wheel steer optimized for maximum flexibility, while the spring rates were increased at both ends of the car by 28 percent. Custom software for the Jaguars adaptive damping that was written for the Jaguar XKR-S, which provides both total body control and maximum traction and grip.

Wheel sizes have only increased with Vulcan 20-inch forged alloy now have a width of nine-inch front and 10.5 inches rear for greater precision and control. The new wheels have Pirelli P Zero tires measuring 255/35 R20 front, 295/35 R20 rear. This combination reduces unsprung weight by 4.8 kg with an overall improvement proportional to the handling and dynamics.

Dynamic Stability Control System has been redesigned to maximize the benefit of wider tires. In the Trac DSC traction that specific user, stability and options to change the thresholds Edif slip, torque distribution and the difference in interference levels to provide the experienced driver to explore the outer edges of the envelope of performance and handling.

Jaguar XKR-S is a series of high-performance braking system. Lighter and more powerful, has a cast iron, and part of a one-piece aluminum calipers for a combination of strength, stability and feel. Brake discs - measuring 380 mm 376 mm front and rear - are ventilated to provide frequent and fade-resistant braking power. Together with the pad area increase of 44 percent front and 31 percent of the back system offers complete safety and confidence of cars and track. Stopping distance from 124 mph was improved by 2.7 percent XKR's already impressive.

The end result is a car that captures the essential duality that is characteristic of every great Jaguar, the driver can carry the legendary Nürburgring in comfort and silence, and yet able to offer a return period of less than and eight minutes and then go home with ease.

Internal

The cab of every Jaguar remains a unique place to spend a special time and the XKR-S meets all expectations at the time the driver enters to be greeted by the red button by pressing start as a heartbeat. Pressed, the engine starts with a deep, rich reverb movements Jaguar selector dial on the center console as the first point of contact to start the bonding process between man and machine.

The interior of the Jaguar XKR-S has been subtly refreshed with a host of new materials with ebony trim soft-feel paint for switches and high-gloss black finish for the center console. The model will be available exclusively with a linear dark aluminum finish as an option for the veneer.

The new leather steering wheel, multifunction steering wheel was also added, providing a nice tactile interface for a car with driver and clear, the Jaguar embossed, stainless steel pedals.

Exclusive Jaguar XKR-S are the new seats before the performance with an integrated headrest and the long side and back support to keep driver and passenger securely and comfortably in place during high speed corners where the car is capable . Set of 16 channels of chick cushion, lumbar and strengthen the elements are complemented with memory function and heating.

The timing in the development of the Jaguar XKR-S will be enhanced with hints of new leather carbon covering the seats with contrast piping unique microclimate and sewing combinations in Reims blue, red and ivory. Two-color combination of charcoal and charcoal with Tan with Red are also available.

2011 Jaguar C-X75 Review

For 75 years, Jaguar has been responsible for some of the most emblematic of the road and the design of the racing car has ever seen. Calling names will be familiar to all: XK120, Type C, D-Type, XJ13, E-Type, XJ220. To this list can now be added Concept Jaguar C-X75, celebrating three-quarters of a century of beautiful, fast Jaguar concept being the fastest and most beautiful of all.

Jaguar is an award-winning portfolio of models of the current XK, the XF and XJ models, and the C-X75 brand strengthening design approach to product development. Created led by Ian Callum, Design Director, the concept is paving the way towards a more exciting design language, which combines a beautiful contemporary design worldwide research and planning.

 

The fans will recognize elements of the past, Jaguar Jaguar C-X75 concept, but should not look back but forward. C-X75 designers stayed true to the Jaguar philosophy of designing a long-term natural, flowing lines and simple, elegant forms. When you have found inspiration from the past was an innovative and functional design elements, such as race cars in 1950 by type C and D-type and a unique 1966 XJ13 Le Mans Prototype - ". Perhaps the most beautiful Jaguars ever made" Callum car described as

XJ13 acted as a testing ground for a new engine, Jaguar C-X75 Concept also offers a positive and inspiring way to overcome the challenges of environmental concerns. Performance cars have always looked for performance by weight, agility and dynamism, which also benefit the economy. Using new combinations of technology, C-X75 supercar outlines the future of Jaguar and its commitment to produce beautiful fast cars powered by renewable means.

 

Exterior design

"C-X75 is a Jaguar should be. He has remarkable ease and grace, but at the same time, the excitement and power of a true supercar. No doubt, this is as close to a form of art as a pure concept can sheep, and we believe it is a fitting tribute to 75 years of iconic Jaguar. "Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars

Completed Jetstream Silver, Jaguar C-X75 concept beautifully proportioned, sculpted lines and powerful stance have been created, in the words of Julian Thomson, Deputy Director of Design and Director of Advanced Design Studio Jaguar, to "pull the same emotional chord as classic Jaguars such as the type-D and XJ13 corridors. "

Jaguar C-X75 concept, lends more than just a stylish exterior design, however, previous vintage cars were the same respect for the purity of their design needs. C-X75 is designed to express the future of luxury car manufacturers such as Jaguar. Prove that you can keep the core brand values ​​and offers the same emission-free motoring for a long time, as well as gamma-enhancement techniques, which are electric cars much more convenient.

 

Purity aerodynamic

Shorter, thinner and smaller than the current supercar crops, its appearance is about pure performance, a simple frame around the central display wheel. Thanks to the efficiency of the packaging, the lack of a traditional piston engine, the car designers had great freedom of positioning of mechanical components and creating the most elegant design package available. This car is the most perfect proportion and balance of the possible compact cabin is centrally located between the wheel arches dramatically. Lines of a super car is a determined and agile, which refers to the sense of movement and posture.

Aerodynamics is a key factor in the design of a super car can accelerate and speed of over 320kph (200 mph). However, as Thomson explains, the designers were not willing to sacrifice the beauty of the car when it came to create downforce and stability at high speeds, "because we want this to be one of the finest Jaguar ever, we have adopted a much more elegant Concept Jaguar C-X75, aerodynamics, and enjoy the benefits of electric transmission. "

 

Using a Venturi chassis and exhaust directional control kept the car as stylish, compact and low as possible while generating huge amounts of grip and support. In fact, the air movement in itself was a driving principle behind many of the design elements were incorporated into the body. Principal designer Matt Beavan reveals how the air flow through the turbines have helped shape the surface of the car itself:. "We wanted to emphasize how the air makes its way not only for the car, but is also channeled into the air box back when operating at 80 000 rpm, each gas turbine requires 25,000 liters of air per minute This means we need to input a series of carefully honed. "

The two beautifully carved intake mounted on aluminum frame has a striking two-tone finish with polished inner surfaces highlight functionality. Above them are two catches, supply cold air cooling system separate from the turbine.

The mill is also a theme echoed in the handsome alloy wheels that seem to have been cut from a single block of aluminum with a clean design inspired by the fan blades of the engines themselves. The tires are custom made by Pirelli and bold asymmetrical tread wear indicator green F1 runs the perimeter of the deck.

Forward-hinged doors are open with the sense of touch technology, Jaguar, always outwards and upwards good access to the cockpit. If you want to maintain the purity of the side profile, the design replaces the conventional exterior mirrors with cameras is that it is a small Tailfin echo of the D-Type - The images are displayed on screens inside. Behind the doors, fuel filler cap to sit on both sides of the cabin - a double tank system, bearing in mind the original XJ6 - which is the C-X75 to use the turbines from the fuel tank and a plug-in charging points.

The eye is drawn in the watertight compartment which houses the gas turbines and micro beautiful double reinforcement structure that supports them. Exposed through the rear window - a bit like the XJ13 - the turbines are presented for outstanding Texalium elegant aluminum and fabric lining of the engine compartment.

 

The turbine's compact size allows designers more freedom in the rear of the car, which is how the back edge of the wing of an airplane. It is both functional - Setting and beautiful, with a line of strong and dramatic, full thin LED tail lights - including the wing Venturi.

Inside

Jaguar has a long tradition of using the best materials to create a luxurious cabin cosseting, which allows the driver to concentrate on the driving experience, culminating in winning the current XJ. With C-X75, Jaguar leather mixed perfectly with innovative materials and finishes to create an elegant interior adapted and driver-focused, defined and inspired by the technology that drives this supercar sustainability.

Double micro-turbines, provided great inspiration when designing the interior design. Turbines require huge amounts of air, the driver and the passenger is in the center of calm in this storm. The soft shapes and surfaces reflect the changes in airflow from the cabin, are invisible and not inside, in the channels around.

The seats are fixed on the back wall, which is part of the airbox feeding the turbines, the integration of driver and passenger, not only in structure but also the function of the car. Beautifully shaped aluminum beam directs the air in the turbines, which are supported by hooks in a spiral that seems to issue a direct result of the seat headrests. "

Driver-focused cockpit

Although Jaguar has always been a cottage in a quiet, comfortable sanctuaries for passengers, their attention remained focused on the driver. Concept Jaguar C-X75 takes this commitment to its logical conclusion by making the driver as close as possible to the center of the car. As a result, the tailors cab drivers to fully and strictly. Lever, steering wheel and dash towards the driver, to reveal a well-polished aluminum binnacle surround sound. Pedal is fully adjustable to create the perfect driving position.

 

The sense of opportunity and experience of the operator generated by C-X75 is unmatched. Electro-luminescent micro-cables and use LED candles to create two very different environments in the cockpit, so it feels incredibly dramatic and emphasize the width of the car. As the driver approaches the vehicle, a bright ring of light blue over phosphorus present the extreme level, the shape of the car leading the eye around the monocoque tub and bedroom turbine.

When the driver moves to the illumination of electroluminescent wire is replaced by blue phosphor emitting diodes reduces the occupants sit in the cockpit. The soft lighting of interior doors and wall cavities creates transparency inspired structures exposed to light aircraft and Bowers & Wilkins speakers behind panels nano micromesh. Additional LED behind the dashboard and the turbines for the two facilities seem to "float" in the structure of the car.

The car is started using a switch mounted on the air affects the Control Panel. Twin turbo needles shows a scan of the dramatic features around the edge of the main and back gages.

When driving in a cottage character mode change track again - with a model of a fighter combat mode. Mate Jaguar touch screen and all the stealth moves to the environment of the cockpit, the lighting is dimmed to minimize driver distraction. Electro-luminescent wire now forms a blade of blue light where the driver's seat and controls.

The lighting is not the only function that gives a sense of theater and the uniqueness of the experience of the management of Jaguar C-X75 Concept. The gear selector is designed in a fighter jet accelerator and includes a manual control of the turbines so they can run continuously for maximum cargo.

Unique materials

A unique, durable performance supercar, the C-X75 to use materials that reflect the design and ideals. Luxurious cream ceramic semi-aniline leather dashboard has been chosen to complete the purity of polished aluminum. Instead, more technical full-aniline was used in Storm Grey leather seats. Leather their history of resistance, which derives from the Scottish Bridge of Weir, a manufacturer of modern and eco-efficiency of the skin in the world.

 

To highlight the main driver of the cockpit instrument interfaces, shifter and some areas of the steering wheel is covered with a soft neoprene texture to the touch. This moldable material has allowed designers to shape the soft, fluid surfaces surrounding the technical equipment. The leading edges of the instrument Binnacle have a satin finish, while farther the material covered in the grain subtly shaped logo "patch" of the traditional Jaguar.

Reflects work surfaces polished on the outside of the car, air conditioning vents also equipped with a finish, although this time it's reversed, with mirror finish exterior surfaces and steam blasted matte inside. Inside the ventilation openings can be found a honeycomb aluminum similar to that used in the aerospace industry.

Innovation

"This is reminiscent of a showcase for the 75-year tradition of performance, the Jaguar C-X75 Concept also demonstrates Jaguar's commitment to develop world-class technical solutions to the challenges of the future of automotive development. Supercar shows that Jaguar will continue to build beautiful fast cars creates a performance in a sustainable way. " Ian Hoban, Vehicle Line Director, Jaguar Cars

 

The Jaguar C-X75 is a demonstration of high performance for future technologies and innovation. The 330kph (205 mph) all-wheel drive supercar is capable of reaching 100 km (62 mph) from rest in 3.4 seconds with zero tailpipe emissions when used in urban areas. Even by extending line mode, emits only 28 grams of CO2 per kilometer, with its ultra-efficient micro-gas turbines that provide free four 145kW (195bhp) electric motors.

A plug-in six-hour charge of lithium ion batteries can power a range of only 110 km (68 miles). However, as a Range-extended electric vehicle (EV-RE), the Jaguar C-X75 concept eliminates the fear of autonomy currently prevent the widespread adoption of electric vehicles. The innovative twin turbine can charge the car batteries on the fly, allowing the sports car to travel 900 km (560 miles) between fill-ups or track mode, automatically provide the additional power directly to electric motors allow the car to 330kph (205 mph).

By creating the C-X75, Jaguar, under the government-sponsored Technology Strategy Board (TSB) has worked closely with other UK companies, each of them is at the forefront of their field. The TSB is an organization that brings together public companies in a wide range of innovation programs with a focus on sustainability. Jaguar partners in this project are Bladon Jets, manufacturers of micro-gas turbine and generator units that provide switched reluctance RS.

The decision to use technology originally developed for aerospace applications has proven to Britain and the Jaguar heritage in this area. Born in Coventry, near the place of what would become the Browns Lane factory, historical Jaguar, Sir Frank Whittle is credited with the development of a jet engine gas turbine. Whittle is the concept has been refined by Bladon Jets provider in the covenant, the powertrain is actually used by the Jaguar C-X75.

 

Jaguar even aviation heritage, a number of large Jaguars of the past - Type C, D and Type E-Type - has been shaped by aerodynamicist Malcolm Sayer. Fly-inspired technology has also led to the development of framework aluminum frame space around which the first Le Mans-winning Jaguar was built, the same technique used today in the Jaguar C-X75 Concept.

The Jaguar C-X75 Concept Bowers & Wilkins, the exclusive provider of premium audio systems for Jaguar, explored the future sound technologies to develop a product that offers superior audio quality, while keeping power requirements extremely low.

Advanced lightweight aluminum construction

Jaguar Experience in the use of aluminum was more than 50 years in the first XK120, through lightly X350 E-Types and pioneer of the new XK and XJ 2010. With this new creation that Jaguar fully aware of the performance benefits of lightweight metal, agility, economy and durability in a luxury car, building a lead of its rivals have yet to close.

The C-X75, of course, follows the same construction techniques with an extruded aluminum chassis and aerospace-inspired bonded clad in panels of the same material, which is much lighter than the current supercar. This not only saves weight, which is crucial in a car with extreme performance envelope, but aluminum is one of the most easily recyclable metals, promotes sustainability concept Jaguar C-X75 and speed. Like the current XJ, 50 percent of the super structure is made of recycled aluminum.

Active Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics has always been an important part of the legendary designer Malcolm Sayer Jaguar design elevating the art form as the XJ13 cars, the prototype, which draws from the C-X75.

 

Now Jaguar is to reduce the drag coefficient of their upcoming models to increase fuel efficiency. The Jaguar C-X75 concept presented the additional challenge of managing the large volume of air required by the turbines. To achieve this active aerodynamics were used for the first time in a Jaguar.

Opening the front grille and vents brake when necessary, the design of Jaguar have dramatically increased aerodynamic efficiency. At every corner in the back surfaces of the vertical automatic test car delivered at speeds greater than the airflow directly behind the rear wheels for stability and efficiency.

The rear diffuser from carbon fiber, a crucial element in the direction of airflow under the car and create downforce includes an asset that lowers automatically as speed increases. Fins on the exhaust ports then change the direction of flow of gas to further increase the efficiency of the Venturi tunnel.

Propulsion system

Jaguar has made great efforts to develop future generations of cars that minimize their environmental impact. Jaguar aims to reduce its emissions of carbon dioxide per quarter over the next five years, and as a company £ 800 invested in the search for innovative solutions to the challenges of future sustainability.

C-X75 is able to progress purely electric, zero emissions from space 110 km (68 miles) is a six-hour domestic plug-ins. Unlike traditional electric cars, enjoy this super-car does not stop there. Innovative, lightweight micro-gas turbines are able to load quickly and effectively the lithium-ion battery, the car theoretical range of 900 km (560 miles) and can also provide additional power directly to the engine automatically when the track mode.

 

This is a big area of ​​expansion is the result of Jaguar Research Engineers use a clean sheet approach to the question of the future take care of super cars. Jaguar C-X75 Concept turns to the latest developments in a piece of British avant-garde technology: a gas turbine.

Bladon Jets British engineering firm has been a recent advance in the production of multi-stage axial compressor - the technology used in all large gas turbines - a miniature scale and very high tolerances. This increased compression efficiency of the micro-gas turbines to the point where it can be considered a real source of energy. Each micro-gas turbine weighs only 35 kg and produces 70 kilowatts of power at a constant 80,000 rpm.

Since the exhaust gases are part of the aero package on, the Jaguar has been specializing in used zirconia-molybdenum coating. This advanced heat-resistant coating is regularly used in Formula One cars, and applied to plasma spray the diffuser in carbon fiber to protect it from the exhaust.

Turbines offers a number of advantages over a piston range extends when you turn the generators. With fewer moving parts and air bags, the turbines do not require lubrication systems and water cooling, all of which offer considerable weight saving advantages. They can also run on a variety of fuels including diesel, CNG and LPG.

Turbines reach their optimal operating speed and temperature on the second, and so can be used in short bursts to complete the batteries without sacrificing fuel consumption or life cycle. Coupled with two switched reluctance generators provided by the SR-drive turbines operate either in sequence or together, depending on energy prices should quickly and effectively charge the batteries - or to supply power directly to electric motors - as dictated the propulsion system of monitoring.

 

Battery technology is currently the main limiting factor in the development of high performance electric vehicles with a realistic range. Jaguar engineers are currently conducting research with the main suppliers of batteries in the next generation of cells able to find the best compromise between energy density and power. The batteries used in the C-X75 is a composite state-of-the-art, which offers significant advantages in terms of weight, life cycle, energy density and safety.

Power and control

The energy created by the turbines, and stored in batteries are delivered by road, four independent electric motors. Using a single Motors has the advantages of weight saving and distribution, packaging and efficiency. Each engine weighs only 50 kg, but produces 145kW (195bhp) of power and torque is an incredible total of 1600nm (£ 1180 ft).

Because each wheel is driven by an electric motor, the Jaguar C-X75 concept is to all four wheels - with all the advantages for traction, grip and security that means - without the inconvenience of the weight of a purely mechanical September -up. Inherent in this power train is the ability of two vectors independently to each wheel through the speed range. This offers potential advantages in terms of stability and control, creating tension at infinity and the stability control system instantly adjustable.

The electric motors also produces maximum torque from zero rpm, which makes the power curve is a traditional thing of the past. Indeed, such a power C-X75 Jaguar's engineers have had to artificially limit the couple off to improve the handling of the car. Performance available in the middle class is really amazing. Jaguar C-X75 Concept accelerates from 80 145kph (50-90 mph) in just 2.3 seconds. The quarter mile sprint in 10.3 seconds at a terminal velocity of 251kph (156 mph) and acceleration peaks at 0.88G.

This extraordinary performance demands equally impressive brakes. Jaguar has already demonstrated the system to the task. C-X75 is equipped with a supercharged XFR brakes are used, which in 2009 became the fastest Jaguar ever reach 363kph (226 mph) at Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. In this application, the technology of four-wheel regenerative braking to recharge the batteries while driving. 380 mm ventilated discs front and 345 mm polished alloy wheels are raised 9:22 p.m. inches respectively.

 

Interior Innovation

The driver focused interior Jaguar C-X75 Concept is a letter of intent from Jaguar, using the latest technology, which is perfectly integrated into the machine to improve the driving experience. When you create a C-X75, Jaguar has established relationships with other British companies, who share the philosophy of design and purity of design.

Fingertip control information

As for the new XJ, traditional analog instruments have been replaced by a high resolution TFT-LCD for three man-machine interface (HMI) in the cockpit.

The information on the main screen engine is located in the instrument cabin. Needles floating on the periphery of the hood and double rod outer edge to display the status and regime of the two turbines. The amount of information that can be viewed need for a new graphical interface. The design team combines the design of the instrument in the new XJ saloon with those of the fighter jets to create virtual 3D "gimbal" around which the envelope of the indicators and their time to provide the updated status.

Information about the speed, acceleration, energy production, the use of the aerodynamics of active power and the state is selected using paddles mounted on the roll of the wheel to control the driver reach all the complex systems the car.

A secondary touchscreen "Jaguar Co-Pilot" in the center of the dashboard is angled toward the driver and makes a prediction function, eliminating the superfluous information and allows the driver to concentrate on the task at hand. As its name suggests, this transparently manages the relationship between car and driver. In tune with technology such as smart phones such as calendars, will be recognized that the driver must attend a track in Le Mans and not only to calculate a route, but also suggest the activation of high-performance mode, when the circuit itself. Once accepted by the driver, this information transparently to the display of the panels of the main cabin.

Two displays works in three modes:

Standard Mode - The portion on the left shows speed, navigation information is displayed in the center of the span and time on the dial to the right. Co-Pilot screen is used for economy and emissions data.

Track Mode - change the dial to the right to display the available power, while the needles around Binnacle displays the status of the turbine. Co-Pilot display changes to show the results and data knees.

Heritage - Both monitors will change the exact recreations of classic D-type instruments, shows how the owners can download their own custom interfaces.

A third, smaller screen mounted low in the center console displays speed information.

Bremont Watches

The need for information screens to display information clearly led to the timeless with Bremont, a British company creating independent fine mechanical watches are assembled by hand in their studio in Switzerland. Its aviation-inspired designs and commitment to engineering excellence has seen the company to quickly establish themselves in a world of authentic luxury.

Jaguar's designers have taken style elements from the MB2 see Bremont in creating graphs of time elements related to the operator. The result is a perfect combination of warmth and traditional Jaguar purity and accuracy.

Bremont also produced a unique watch that can be installed in the turbine-inspired by the holder in the center console. The mechanism of the clock used for the forces of acceleration and braking of the car to keep it wound.

Relations Bremont has inspired another part of the design. The company produces a clock, MB1, exclusively for those who have had their lives saved by a Martin-Baker ejection seat. To date, the British developed security system has saved over 7000 people. In recognition of this, managing the release of internal doors Concept Jaguar C-X75 is crafted from aircraft quality aluminum and mounted on the bottom of the seat, in the same situation as a jet fighter ejection handles.

Surround Sound

Jaguar has asked its existing partners in the automotive experts entertainment, Bowers & Wilkins audio, creating a revolutionary sound system that reveals how audio technologies are expected to evolve.

The result was an innovative system that uses dozens of small moving coil transducers arranged in a thin cell structure that allows them to line the doors and the rear bulkhead. Cases, magnets and coils are constructed from nanometer, and met with B & W's own material polycrystalline diamond films, the best available. A series of small speakers literally surrounding the driver and passenger sounds strong and all embracing, but the small size also means the power consumption of the system and is considered very low.

This system also allowed the development of active noise canceling technology which separates the interior of noise produced by wind turbines and create a peaceful, luxurious cocoon allows the driver to concentrate on the pleasure lies in driving a Jaguar. Similar technology can be used to cancel noise transmitted to the outside world by the operation of the turbine.

2011 Jaguar XK Review

The new XK Coupe now revealed to the world, Jaguar is pleased to announce another all-new XK - the XK Convertible.

 

 

 

Designed in parallel with the Cup as a model itself, the new XK Convertible uses the same advanced aluminum body structure to achieve excellent rigidity while minimizing weight. With just 1635 kg, the new convertible - so much lighter than its predecessor and rivals - is the lightest car of your competition.

 

 

 

A 300 hp 4.2 liter V8 engine and Jaguar Sequential steering wheel mounted gear shift control ensure a rapid implementation of 0-60 mph in just 6.0 seconds (0-100 km / h in 6 , 3 seconds) and an electronically limited top speed of 155 mph (250kmh.

 

 

 

The luxurious three-lined fabric roof - which can be powered up or down in less than 18 seconds - fits completely out of sight beneath an aluminum barrel when retracted. An investment protection system comprising two 'hidden' aluminum hoops that deploy in the event of an incident is standard on all XK Convertibles.

 

 

 

"The new XK was designed from the ground up to be a beautiful convertible. It is a statement of confidence in the Jaguar design, elegant and powerful, with the performance and driving dynamics to match its appearance," it said Jaguar Design Director Ian Callum.

 

2011 Jaguar XF Review

Salon, where the soul of the Jaguar sports car, the XF has won accolades and enthusiastic fans around the world for its dynamic and a dramatic look. Advances in lighting technology have enabled the new 2012 Jaguar XF range to accept a bold language project for the Jaguar XJ flagship sedan.

Changes grills bumpers, bonnet and new front triangle, side air intakes give the car a more muscular, purposeful look. XFR top of the range will have its own unique transparent design style emphasizes a potential alternative to drive performance option "aerodynamic" is available to all other derivatives, for a total of three radically different style options.

The headlights now include bi-xenon HID technology base that allows them to be much thinner and more compact, while providing exceptional resolution of the beam. It also includes LED daytime running lights arranged in a "pattern distinctive signature Jaguar J-Blade for instant identification.

The rear lights have been completely renovated and now extend across the central part of the trunk lid. These new units are all functions of LED brake light and indicator and the Jaguar XF to give a distinctive signature night in the back. Among them is a revised start finishing it off with a black border for a cleaner polish. The boot also includes the closure of energy in all models.

Three new colors and a wider range of alloy wheel from 17 to 20 inches provide the finishing touch to the style of the review.

"The XF has been rightly recognized as a Jaguar sedan quintessence. It is concentrated and elegant, with the intention inherent in sports design. For the latest version, we were able to develop and improve the performance characteristics that make them more visually XF car dynamics in its class. "Ian Callum, Design Director of Jaguar Cars

Jaguar XF Powertrain and dynamic

Key among the improvements to the Jaguar XF is the introduction of the 2.2-liter turbodiesel engine-i4D AJ. The device has low friction pistons, and a water-cooled turbocharger to increase efficiency and more active engine mounts and changes in the housing and the block to reduce NVH levels. The result is not only the Jaguar engine more fuel efficient ever, but that offers levels of refinement up to the previously mounted diesel 2.7-liter V6 and all the performance expected of a Jaguar sports sedan. Further refinement is guaranteed for all acoustic models using additional shielding and the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics to smooth outside air.

Power is 190PS with an impressive torque of 450 nm gives the number of muscle performance is expected for Jaguar. Reaching 60 mph in 8.0 seconds, a car to a top speed of 140 mph. However, the device still manages 52.3mpg combined EU - which is less expensive Jaguar ever - and leave only 149g/km CO2 and Euro V compliant.

New eight-speed automatic

The engine is perfectly complemented by the new 8-speed ZF automatic transmission. Specifically designed by our engineers for its first application in a Jaguar, the transmission offers a number of benefits, both better acceleration and economy. Gear changes are completed in just 200 milliseconds - four times faster than the average human resting heart rate - while the driver's control improves the ability to perform multiple paddle downshifts technology. The use of lightweight materials ensures that the total weight is the same as the previous six-speed transmission, while improving the design of the pump and the speed control to increase the efficiency of the elements. All models Jaguar XF Diesel, which reduces CO2 emissions 3.0-liter V6 engine with 169g/km and improves fuel consumption of 44.8mpg.

Smart Stop / Start

He also made his debut with the 2.2 liter diesel engine is new Jaguar Smart Stop / Start, the first time that this technology is a luxury sedan in diesel. This automatically cuts the engine in just 300 milliseconds when the vehicle stops, to improve fuel economy and CO2 emissions of between five and seven percent.

No driver intervention is necessary, the engine management software analyzes a multitude of complex factors, to determine whether the motor can be stopped safely. A starter solenoid in parallel with a dedicated secondary battery immediately start the engine when the driver's foot leaves the brake pedal, make sure it works better when the accelerator is pressed. To facilitate this process, the characteristics of impulse transmission hydraulic storage, which supplies oil pressure to drive the change of elements.

For the first time all the diesel options are also available with Jaguar's Adaptive Dynamics system, which allows the driver to enjoy the enthusiastic excellent control of the car body and find the sporting spirit of the Jaguar XF.

Jaguar XF Interior

Whether we consider the driver or passenger, the passenger in the Jaguar XF is a unique welcoming and elegant to spend time using high quality materials in a truly modern.

Continuing with dramas like "surprise and delight features that the Jaguar unit of selection, which rises from the center console and air vents that rotate to the open position when the start button is pressed, the Jaguar XF Interior also received a complete update.

New seats and instruments

Revised front and rear seats feature a "wheel", as well as back and back, which not only improves its appearance, but also the support that gives the home with the addition of profile. Hide the new color combinations, rolled, and headlining the choices to add customization options available to buyers. All models benefit from reviewing the colors in the center console, dashboard and steering wheel with Finish "Tungsten", replaced by a more contemporary theme "Aurora".

The Jaguar XF combines an enormous amount of technology, but in true Jaguar style fits perfectly into the operation of the vehicle and touch screen controlled by a central seven-inch with a polarizing filter to see the best of a new contrast.

In order to reduce the workload of the driver, most switches have been added over the touch screen to quickly switch between different functions at the same time as the new flagship XJ Jaguar-based graphics. The main instrument is now in color TFT unit of greater precision and clarity.

The advanced

Three audio systems are offered new Jaguar XF, which represent a major upgrade of the previously available. Title of this date is 1200 W, 17-speaker premium facility, the British audio specialists Bowers & Wilkins, which is a little 'sound like a concert hall.

All audio systems can be specified with a hard disk navigation system that integrates satellite unit multichanger "virtual" CD that allows the owner to 'rip' CD 10 at a time in memory for the car and play as if it were a physical medium term music. Now, the system also offers a number of different options for connecting MP3 players, two USB ports, one of which is specific iPod and Bluetooth connectivity that allows music to be heard from a smartphone.

Most of the functions of the car can also be controlled from the driving Jaguar interactive voice feature, which provides an intuitive, secure, hands-free.

Jaguar C-X75

Do not stop innovating, maybe that's the right word to dedicated to Jaguar. Manufacturers of luxury cars and super fast it will soon release a new car type and hybrid-type sports.
British luxurycar manufacturer, Jaguar & Land Rover, today, May 6, 2011, make sure to produce a hybrid sports car, Jaguar C-X75. The plan, jet-powered car called it produced in 2013 and priced 700-900 thousand pounds sterling, or approximately USD 9.9 to 12.7 billion.
Jaguar car it claims will produce only 250 units. Of that number, 50 units have a racing version.
Only, until now Jaguar has not officially announced the specification hybrid technology that will be carried by the car. However, some sources said the car was going to carry a conventional engine 1600 cc four-cylinder engine and an electric motor with a capacity of 140 kilo watt (kW).

Jaguar C-X75

Combined both expected to generate power to 1,000 horsepower. Armed with the power of it, Jaguar C-X75 capable sped up to 330 kilometers per hour (kpj).

Jaguar C-X75

Project leader Nigel Taylor, the previous estimates, the Jaguar is able to accelerate from 0-100 kpj in just 3 seconds only. While acceleration 0-200 kpj achieved within 5 seconds, and 0-300 in 15.5 seconds kpj.
Interestingly, although docking is only done once in six hours, but the cars have traveled distances up to 100 kilometers (km).
In fact, the car can reach is extended to 900 km. It was thanks to the use of micro gas turbine in charge of charging a battery or electric motor plays it straight. In other words, the gas turbine is the heart of stun electric motor to power the car.
