The British carmaker Jaguar Land Rover has recently announced plans to reveal the XJ_e Plug-in Hybrid at the 2012 Goodwood Festival of Speed.
Created in a joint project with the British Government’s Technology Strategy Board, the car is powered by a new 2.0-liter turbocharged direct-injection petrol engine which is boosted by a 93 hp electric motor and a 12.8kWh lithium ion battery pack which can be fully recharged in four hours. The combined output of the hybrid system is 334 hp, allowing the sedan to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in under 6.5 seconds and hit a top speed limited to 250 km/h.
Despite its excellent performance, the XJ_e will offer official economy of 87 mpg (3.2-liter/100km) and CO2 emissions of 75 g/km. It also has a zero-emission range of 40 km on electric power. Total range with a full tank of fuel is 1,092 km (679 miles).
