2013 Jaguar CX75

Among the concept cars that were introduced at the Paris Motor Show last September ‘10, the Jaguar’s C-X75 was least expected to be in production. In May 2011 Jaguar announced their plans to build a limited production of C-X75 at a maximum of 250 cars, in partnership with Formula One team Williams F1 to help develop the chassis and supposedly the hybrid system as well. The C-X75 this time will have the conventional gasoline-powered motor mated to a hybrid-drive mechanism. But it will still feature the 4 electric motors (1 at each wheel) that will offer all-wheel drive and extremely high torque. Jaguar claims the production car will run to 60 mph in under 3 second with a top speed of 200 mph and a range of 31 miles in electric-only mode. The 2013 Jaguar C-X75 is said to cost about $1.1 million, now I better start cost cutting!

2012 Mazda6 SkyActive

When Mazda introduced the Shinari concept at the 2010 L.A. Auto Show way back in December, it signaled a strong directional change. The Shinary Concept was pretty sexy, it was more of a Lexus competitor than to the Altima and Camry. And it will go on sale this December with less of its show-car edge and as the 2012 Mazda6. But rumors said that the new Mazda6 will sport an unconventional 2.2-liter diesel having 310 lb-ft of torque and with a 40-plus mpg highway rating. The beast’s free-revving, 5200-rpm redline is especially new for diesels, but what Mazda really wanted was to emulate the true character of its gasoline-powered cars. So this twin-turbocharged diesel car may not be new to buyers who are familiar with Mazda’s quick-revving gas motors. Expect Mazda to offer a more elegant interior too. If Mazda can make all of these a success, they will make a good competition with the German Motors and Japanese Designs.

IED Tesla EYE Concept

The Tesla EYE has a futuristic concept designed by the Europeo Di Design of Turni (IED). The chassis is painted white while the windshield and windows are painted indigo that brings out the modern approach of the car. Its kinda cool but we’re really concerned about the extremely small side mirrors and headlights plus we’re also confuse on IED’s reason to create an open gap on the front of Tesla Eye. Does it minimize air resistance or just for show?

Rinspeed iChange Concept

Rinspeed’s all-electric iChange concept made its debut Geneva Motor Show. It is powered with highly-efficient 150kW electric motor comprising array of lithium-ion batteries mated with six-speed gearbox. It can accelerate the car from 0 to 60 mph in just 4 second with the top speed of 137 mph. The most interesting feature is that, this 1-seater car can change into 2-seater and 2-seater. The body of iChange works has solar panel which can charge the batteries.
