In comparison to what we saw at the last Frankfurt Motor Show, just the color of the livery has changed - going from metallic gray to white - but it’s the only thing. The Jaguar C-X16 prototype currently on display at the Los Angeles Auto Show is exactly the same model showcased at the German event, with no significant modification. Regardless, it is a beauty.

The complete name of this model is Jaguar C-X16 Production Concept, implying that this is the basis on which the British manufacturer is working in view of the future lunch of a luxury coupe.

Design Director Ian Callum confirmed that on behalf of the Coventry-based carmaker, adding that the model will be an hybrid vehicle equipped with a 3.0 V6 engine as well as an electric unit whose combined power should be around the 380 hp figure. The model will also make use of an 8-speed transmission. Jaguar also released some indicative performance figures: 0-100 km/h acceleration (0-62 mph) comes in just 4.4 seconds with a top speed of about 300 km/h (185 mph). Besides, the C-X16 should be able to travel up to 50 mph under electric power alone.
