Wonder if it will have the Williams flywheel system

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13307919 Jaguar has unveiled plans to build a £700,000 petrol-electric hybrid supercar in the UK.
It will build 250 cars in partnership with Formula 1 team Williams F1.
The C-X75's ultra-light chassis and two electric engines will help it accelerate from nought to 60mph in three seconds.
It will have an all-electric range of 50km and its overall emissions of less than 100g CO2 per kilometre will be one of the lowest in the industry.
It will have a top speed of more than 200mph.

Very pleased that Jaguar have a brand director called Adrian Hallmark!

This all reminds me very strongly of the XJ220 - anyone else? I very much hope it works out better than that did, though.

The XJ220 was an excellent car, built during a crisis, using a Williams engine. What similarity?

I hope they make a good go of it. The XJ220 was one of my all time favourite cars.

Funny as I never really liked the XJ220.
I always thought of it as a big old wallowing boat, no idea why really.

This new one looks quite tasty though - quite Aston Martin like in that 3/4 side profile shot.

I loved the XJ220, why can't they just re-create itt with modern engineering?

As for the new one it looks a bit like an Elise from the side and the nose is far too small for a Jag.

It would appear from this that the new Jaguar might well be fitted with the Williams flywheel KERS system

The purpose of the project is to refine technologies that can provide a considerable reduction in emissions from road cars.
