2012 Jaguar C-X16
Prior to the official release of the Jaguar C-X16, it was revealed to journalists to begin the hype at the 2011 Frankfurt Show. With a 50:50 weight distribution, an all aluminium smaller body than the XK and Jaguar’s own Director of Design Ian Callum calling it “the first two-seater Jaguar since ‘you-know-what’(referring to the E-Type!) we hope it lives up to the hype.
Not surprisingly, this concept is a hybrid, which means jaguar is keeping up to the times with the increasing demand for car company’s to cut fuel consumption. The car is reportedly able to drive on the battery alone for up to speeds of 50 mph, but I don’t think many people with a f1 inspired “Push to pass" button on the steering wheel will be doing 50 for long! This isn’t just another concept though; it is due to hit your local jaguar dealer September 2012!

A supercharged 375bhp 3ltr V6 petrol engine + electric motor.

Lamborghini Sesto Elemento
Have The automotive world finally bred a Bugatti killer? The New Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is too fast to legally be driven on U.S. roads, apparently it doesn’t meet the safety requirements.
It first premiered at the Paris auto show as a concept car, but in October this year the Lamborghini bosses gave it the green light. The entirely carbon fiber chassis sounds exciting, but I think we better get saving now, as the Sesto is $280,090 more than the Bugatti Super Sport.
Engine:
5.2 V10.
- Delivering 600 Bhp
- 0-60 in 2.5 secs
Top speed of over 200Mph.
Pricing:
- Report to be around $2,920,000.
