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.
The car is central to the Indian-owned luxury car company Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) plan to establish itself as a technology-inspired carmaker.
“People expect Jaguar to be innovators,” said brand director Adrian Hallmark.
“There is a clear business case for this exclusive halo model.”
In March, JLR announced a plan to launch 40 “significant new products” over the next five years, backed by a £5bn investment plan.
