Jaguar Type-D concept

[racingfreak]

Jaguar and Connaught are no strangers - and the Connaught Motor Company has revealed its first project, the Type-D sports coupé which combines super performance with startling fuel economy.

Featuring the first ever V10 hybrid engine, Connaught's Type-D beats mainstream manufacturers in the race to produce a high performance energy efficient sports car.

The stunning coupé will deliver 225 km/h, 0-100 km/h in under 7 seconds, 3 litres/100 km and genuine 2+2+ seating configuration, while still complying with ultra-low emissions targets set for 2010.

The brainchild of two ex-Jaguar consultant engineers Tim Bishop and Tony Martindale, the Connaught Type-D has to date received almost R6-million worth of funding from the Energy Saving Trust and has no fewer than 17 patents pending on its ground-breaking technology.

The car was previewed at the recent Goodwood Revival meeting in the UK, a fitting venue to resurrect a famous name of 1950s automotive engineering, but the new Connaught Motor Company is no heritage-laden throw-back to past eras.

Stunning is not exactly the term I would use for this car. It looks like one of those "futuristic" 80's concept cars.

It may be very cleverly made, but damn plz change the styling.

The stunning coupé

will never be made seeing how the F-Type is still in concept stage for 20-odd years.

very ugly car

Although this is only the concept, they always change the appearance of the production car...think of the carrera gt with the digital display in the concept,ugly,. But somehow i think not even the production is gonna get any attention, except for that very low 3L/100km economy :?
