If this stunning electronic concept car drives half as well as it looks Jaguar should be able to convert even the most ardent petrol heads to battery power.
The XKX is expected to be unveiled to the world soon and provide a glimpse of the astonishing cutting-edge science which will be driving cars of the future.
Inspired by the iconic E-Type, made between 1961 and 1975 and recently voted the most beautiful car ever, the sleek car boasts some extraordinary features.
Stunning: The Jaguar XKX concept car features amazing energy capturing bodywork that recharges the battery as air flows over it
Design: The inspiration behind the breathtaking XKX concept car was Jaguar’s iconic E-type
The body of the XKX is covered by a
layer of so called piezoelectric cells which helps recharge the
batteries from the force of the air flowing over the body.
This layers of microscopic ripples are
stimulated by the pressure and friction of the wind which increases the
faster the car travels.
It is hoped this radical technology
will recoup some of the near 60per cent energy lost from forcing the
vehicle through the air.
Efficiency and performance were a top priority for designer Marin Myftiu, with great attention to aerodynamics.
Large side deflector intakes at the front were created in order to carry more air to the rear of the car, thus cutting drag.
The mirrors also fold into the body work to prevent them from being damaged.
It is unlikely this vehicle will even
be put into production, but elements of the design are expected to be
incorporated into Jaguar’s future cars.

Firstly, I am a huge petrol head, however, why do these car companies spend millions and millions, collectively probably billions on the development of theses cars so they can sell a few to the super rich or put it on display at a car show with no intention of producing it. It they got together with this money, we would already be driving real family cars that are electric and have a 500 mile range and recharge in 30 minutes, but no, lets build an electric E-Type and price it at a couple of million.

Surely the fact that you are driving and the wheels are turning, could help to recharge the batteries. I know that you are using electricity to move the vehicle, but once you are doing that, the wheels are turning – make em work for you! Work on Perpetual Motion lads and see where that gets you.

The folk that dont like this fantastic and beautiful car obviously live in council houses and holiday on the Costa del Sol.

Those huge air-scoops at the front really don’t look “right” somehow.

No Way!
You have to drive car to a certain speed to recharge the energy and idle speeds and queuing in the traffic would be a huge drain to the conserved battery and zero recharge
Please go back to the drawing boards and keep dreaming

It looks like an Hyundai Coupe to me.

The original was stunning to look at but a monster to drive and to stop. In early models the wheels were too thin and cornering without power steering was a nightmare. However, this new XKX is amazing, it’s beauty is breathtaking.

Alan leicester. Diesels can run on fuel other than the forecourt variety,it’s free and legal.

Why don’t they just stick a wind turbine on the roof
Or seriously incorporate wind turbines beyond the air scoops

Even if we develop fusion power as a limitless energy source to charge batteries, the electric car as a replacement for hydrocarbons remains a myth. The energy that goes into making and powering such vehicles has to come from somewhere. The batteries themselves are inefficient and need replacing at frequent intervals. The construction of vehicles from the mining of iron ores and other metals, the oil that goes into plastics, tyre manufacture and so on, requires vast amounts of energy to achieve.
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and only by introducing a comprehensive system of free public transport will we ever square the circle of declining energy and raw materials and increasing demand. That and reducing the need to travel.
