JAGUAR E-Type ZERO

JAGUAR E-Type ZERO

A “fully electric” version of the classic Jaguar E-Type has been launched, capable of a swift 0-62mph in just 5.5 seconds.

Jaguar Land Rover’s Classic division has presented an electric-powered version of the Jaguar E-Type at the company’s Tech Fest in London today. The vehicle is dubbed the Jaguar E-Type Zero, and was fully restored and converted at Jaguar Land Rover’s Classic Works in Coventry.

The car that’s being displayed at Tech Fest is actually a restored Series 1.5 Roadster, and is completely original in its specification – apart from the brand new electric powertrain, of course.

Jaguar has also fitted out the vehicle with “modified” instrumentation and facia, although the team tried to keep the design inspired by the original E-Type. The only other major change is the adoption of LED headlights, which are to ensure good energy efficiency. The styling from the original Series 1 E-Type has been retained, however.

Tim Hannig, the Director of Jaguar Land Rover Classic, said: “E-Type Zero combines the renowned E-Type dynamic experience with enhanced performance through electrification. This unique combination creates a breathtaking driving sensation.”

He went on: “Our aim with E-Type Zero is to future-proof classic car ownership. We’re looking forward to the reaction of our clients as we investigate bringing this concept to market.”

Jaguar’s 220kW electric powertrain was specially designed for the E-Type Zero, and utilises a lithium-ion battery pack that has the same dimensions as – and a similar weight to – the XK six-cylinder engine used in the original E-Type. This electric powertrain has even been placed in “precisely the same location” as the old XK engine.

Retaining various aspects of the car’s internal design means that Jaguar has been able to ensure the new car “drives, handles, rides and brakes like an original E-Type”, and that the front-rear weight distribution remains unchanged.

The new car has a ‘real world’ range of around 170 miles (270km), and uses a 40kWh battery that can be recharged at home overnight. Jaguar says is typically takes six to seven hours to charge, depending on the power source.

The vehicle was revealed alongside an announcement that all new Jaguar Land Rover model lines from 2020 and beyond would use either hybrid or fully-electric powertrains.

Mercedes AMG Project ONE

Mercedes AMG Project ONE $2.7 million hypercar

On Monday, Mercedes-AMG unveiled its long-awaited Project One hybrid hypercar concept ahead of the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show.

The Project One is packed with technology from the company’s back to back to back World Championship-winning Formula One team.

“Motorsport is not an end in itself for us. Faced with intense competition, we develop technologies from which our production vehicles also subsequently benefit,” Mercedes-Benz chairman Dr. Dieter Zetsche said in a statement.

We are drawing on our experiences and successes from three constructors’ and drivers’ world championships to bring Formula 1 technology to the road for the first time: in Mercedes-AMG Project ONE.”

At the heart of the Project One is a hybrid drive unit lifted directly from Mercedes-AMG’s Formula One racer. In total the drive unit can produce more than 1,000 horsepower.

The system consists of a 1.6 liter, turbocharged V6 engine with an atmospheric red line of 11,000 RPMs. The engine’s crankshaft is attached to an electric motor that can virtually eliminate turbo lag while generating electricity by harnessing the engine’s kinetic energy. In Formula One circles, this electric motor is called the Motor Generator Unit Kinetic or MGU-K. The engine and MGU-K duo drive the rear wheels while producing more than 670 horsepower.

The Mercedes-AMG Formula One-based drive unit.

 

The engine features a split turbocharger design that keeps the hot exhaust gasses that power the turbo away from the compressor, thereby leading to more power through cooler and denser air being fed into the engine. The two sides of the turbo are connected by a shaft, which itself is equipped with a 121 horsepower electric motor capable of powering the compressor in case there isn’t enough boost coming from the exhaust gasses. The folks in F1 call this electric turbo the Motor Generator Unit Heat or MGU-H.

Additionally, Mercedes installed two electric motors, each producing more than 161 horsepower, on the front axle of the Project One, thereby giving it a virtual all-wheel-drive system with true torque-vectoring capabilities.

That’s right, the Project One has one engine and four electric motors.

The Project One features an automated AMG-Speedshift eight-speed manual transmission.

And the performance figures are staggering. Mercedes-AMG declined to release a 0-60 mph acceleration time. However, the company claims the Project One can reach 124 mph in less than six seconds and reach a top speed of more than 217 mph.

With a full lithium-ion battery pack, the Project One has an all-electric range of 25 miles.

All of this advanced Formula One technology comes at a price. The Project One starts at €2.275 million or $2.72 million with production cars expected to arrive sometime around 2019.

Sadly, if haven’t ordered one, you are already too late. All 275 production Mercedes-AMG Project Ones have been spoken for.
