The finished C-X16 concept has the potential to do these  things while retaining the ability to surprise, to excite and  invigorate."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Adrian  Hallmark, Global Brand Director, was quoted by the British firm as  saying: "Jaguar has set in place bold, ambitious plans for the future.   This production concept demonstrates the depth of design and engineering  ability we have within Jaguar to make these plans come to life – I look  forward to sharing this latest, exciting step at the Frankfurt Motor  Show."</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Expect more information and photos of the new Jaguar C-X16 to be revealed closer to the Frankfurt Show. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdOq7-NYrmJ17HWvDG1pNzV3Bcehj58siCNjfK5tYXM9PCyTNj9wOXtcDKFivyDqFaE7PqsMBQq738PFyJbYBX2dmuUOmmXvgWKEGESEmO1eJw0xZVwP-RgCcB-QIg4Xep9Hv0fCUW9GE/s1600/Jacuar-C-X16-Production-Concept-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdOq7-NYrmJ17HWvDG1pNzV3Bcehj58siCNjfK5tYXM9PCyTNj9wOXtcDKFivyDqFaE7PqsMBQq738PFyJbYBX2dmuUOmmXvgWKEGESEmO1eJw0xZVwP-RgCcB-QIg4Xep9Hv0fCUW9GE/s400/Jacuar-C-X16-Production-Concept-2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI3oEYrixLEDBK2yEB389kAfNBmUBeWVjA9ikioxd-MNpleu8dDcviLNxxBnhIXi56gO2NrMLOJAxoka3kzAGdaYkjEFZ0qTy9j56L5DbUKnZNenOpoUrh3fdJ7mD6Dt9__E_x6Siq5KM/s1600/2012-Mercedes-SLK-250CDI-8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a></div><br /><br /> Read more In <b><a href="http://carsandtec.blogspot.com/" target="_new" title="cars">Cars</a></b></div>

Though it is a simple question, (obviously) the answer is far more  complex than it seems at a first glance. </span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">But  in the fantasy land of designers, there are no restrictions or limits,  only a desire to create. And for Dutch designer Sabino Leerentveld, who  we came to know through his Aston Martin V12 and BMW Nazca Homage prototypes, the answer to the previous question is the Kawasaki ZX-770R Concept. </span><a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/kawasaki-zx-770r-concept-japanese.html" name="more"></a> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Inspired  by the KTM X-BOW, Leerentveld dreamed up a similar project for the  Japanese motorcycle company Kawasaki. However, the ZX-770R is larger  sports car measuring 4,427mm long, 1,017mm tall and 2,073mm wide with a  wheelbase of 2,710mm. </span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Leerentveld  says the sports car would tip the scales at (a rather overly  optimistic) 500kg or 1,102 pounds, while power would be provided by a  twin-turbocharged V6 producing about 770-horsepower. </span><br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;"><i style="color: #990000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">PHOTO GALLERY</span></b></i> </span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It is built around a central  carbonfibre monocoque and rolls on massive wheels with a 21-inch  diameter. </span> <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/frankfurt-preview-audi-urban-e-tron.html" name="more"></a> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Power comes courtesy of two e-tron electric motors that draw energy from a lithium-ion battery.</span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">A  sliding canopy that forms part of the body opens up to allow the driver  and one passenger to enter the car.

Replacing an icon, however, is much more difficult. </span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Especially  if said icon has a long and distinguished history and has made its  manufacturer synonymous to hardcore 4x4 capabilities. The </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Defender</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> is one such example. </span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">However,  that’s what Land Rover intends to do, and the first step will  reportedly be the unveiling of a new Defender concept at the </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Frankfurt Motor Show</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">.</span> <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/land-rover-rumored-to-reveal-new.html" name="more"></a> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Land Rover</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> director John Edwards told Autocar magazine  that he “can’t imagine not producing a successor” to the four-wheel  drive that established the brand. However the market is now much more  competitive and Land Rover's owner Tata Motors must find a way to make  the new Defender a credible rival that can command higher prices without  losing its legendary character.</span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Edwards  admits that for the project, which is scheduled to begin production in  2015, to be viable, annual sales must be in the 60-80,000 units region.</span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">In  comparison, only 18,000 Defenders were sold worldwide last year.  Edwards says that, like the 4x4 it intends to replace, it must be  versatile and reliable enough to adapt to army use.</span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Currently Land Rover is considering all options for the new Defender’s underpinnings, from using a modified </span><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Discovery</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> chassis to designing something completely new.</span> <br /><span style="font-family: Verdana;">Whatever  the British company decides, one thing is for sure: they need to  satisfy the loyalists and at the same time attract a much larger  clientele. </span></div><script type="text/javascript"><br />var addthis_config = {"data_track_clickback":true};<br /></script> <script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=snakenoise" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="color: #990000;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">PHOTO GALLERY</span></span></b></i> </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
