We can appreciate a good track car as much as the next enthusiast, but we begin to mourn their creation as a way for automakers to charge wealthy clients obscene amounts of money for the cars that they even do not allow the law to lead on the road. (As least, not in the countries was to confirm, can not do enough to bribe the right bureaucrat. Fact that we are not completely sure, these include the United States.)This is - the road that Lamborghini, is expected to take to the "production" version of the Sesto Elemento concept, and it seems to be the way that Jaguar plans to bring its C-X75 concept to production. At least a jet engine, anyway.

C-X75, as you may recall, bowed at the 2010 Paris Auto Salon with amazingly innovative transmission: two microturbines, acting as an ex-band requirements for electric motors. Reports then began to appear that Jaguar's intent to build a supercar that only commercially available version will include a 1.6-liter turbo four developed by a team of Formula 1 Williams and packing about 500 horsepower instead of the turbine installation. (Not too shabby, but still no turbine.)

Then Tata parent company invested in turbine equipment on behalf of Bladon Jets about Jaguar headquarters in Coventry, leading to the development of which a limited number will be available with the turbine power as a concept. Recent reports, however, indicate that even those would be strictly limited to the track.

The latest three-liter supercharged V6 announced by Jaguar. One of his first roadster can get F-Type, which is a British company is now preparing to release. Developed in parallel, and "charged" version of the roadster - it is, by tradition, will be named the F-Type R.

The latest three-liter V6, equipped with a mechanical compressor, designed for the entire range of Jaguar and will develop 340 horsepower. However, according to the portal Motor Authority, Roadster F-Type will force it a little modification, which is located 380 hp The engine is designed on the model of the compressor pyatlibotrovogo V8, so it is likely, in part consists of aluminum and is equipped with a configuration variable valve timing and direct injection.

According to some reports, the Jaguars want to offer for the F-Type roadster and a more aggressive option. If the version of the F-Type R yet to be released - and is rumored to be the first of its models are already being tested on the race track - under its hood will house a supercharged V8 with 500 horsepower.

One can imagine that it is unlikely this figure will exceed 540 "horses": otherwise Jaguar risks exacerbate internal competition between the F-Type R and 550-powerful XKR-S. But in order to make life difficult, for example, Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG or the Aston Martin V8 Vantage, it is totally enough.

Creating a basic model, the Roadster Jaguar F-Type must start in the middle of the following year, but his public debut could take place as early as this year.
