Both Jaguar and Land Rover have announced their vision of an electric future. By 2020, every car from their range will also have an electric, hybrid or "plug-in" version.
It will be among the first to hit the roads with an electric motor Jaguar I-Pace, until then they prepared for us a taste two concept models. A remake of the legendary Jaguar E-Type Zero and Jaguar Future-Type concept.
Jaguar E-Type Zero
Many people find the remake of this classic downright scandalous. But there is no need for this pessimism, because maybe it will be right electric drive the one who will saved the ancients and preserved them even for our descendants. There are environmental requirements stricter from day to day and what can happen that many old-timers will no longer meet these criteria. In such a case, conversion to electric drive is another option meaningful.
Jaguar E-Type was completely restored in the concept version series 1.5 from 1968. They have preserved perfectly all components of the car, only the engine was replaced with an electric one and added a battery pack. Jaguar E-Type Zero is now for 80 kilograms lighter than the classic version, and with a full battery it has a range up to 270 kilometers. In the concept, the interior has been greatly changed and significantly digitized, but only because of its representative role. If the customer wants to keep the original interior, Jaguar will take care of that too. The only condition they have is that they replace the rev counter with a battery status display. They say processing and restaurant they won't be cheap, but we believe that the owners will not regret a single euro for such a classic.
Jaguar Future-Type
Let's turn the time in the year 2040 and let's take a closer look at Jaguar's performance futuristic car. Jaguar Future-Type is fully autonomous vehicle, which has room for three passengers, and its interior is covered with a bunch of screens for the infotainment system. It has a steering wheel with a name on it Sayer, which you can removed from the car and it is virtual intelligent assistant. A car can pass through it we call up to a certain place or we send it, wherever it is necessary. At Jaguar, they even let it go possibility of buying the steering wheel itself, and we order the car from the autonomous fleet intended for car sharing. Trends in the future are going in the direction of ever-increasing sharing of cars and decreasing car ownership. Accordingly, they want to ensure at Jaguar luxurious experience also for people who want the pleasure of driving, but do not want or have no need to become Jaguar owners themselves.
