Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima returns to the 90th running of the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, assembling a new electric vehicle in hopes of breaking the world record time he set in 2011 while raising 'climate change' awareness.
Compared with the Porsche 918 and the hybridized Ferrari F70/Enzo replacement, The Jaguar C-X75 takes a smaller-engined, subtly different approach to being a “supercar with an environmental edge.”
The still-born Hypercar has a lightweight 1.6 litre supercharged and turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 500 hp and reving to 10,000 rpm. While the original concept was for the C-X75 to be a series hybrid with four 195bhp (145kW) electric motors – one for each wheel - produce 778bhp and a total torque output of 1,180lb ft (1,600Nm), the car tested here has only 390 hp (285 kW) of electric power giving a total output of 890 hp (654 kW) when combined with the ICE.
While the Paris Air Show is famous for its aerial displays, a more down-to-earth demonstration at Le Bourget Airport is showing the way for the increasingly electric future of aviation.
