Jaguar C-X75 Hybrid Supercar ready for testing

Jaguar are ready to start road testing the C-X75 hybrid supercar next month with a 2014 launch target. Jaguar Land Rover are continuing to move strongly forward with new cars like the 2013 Range Rover, Range Rover Evoque and XF Sportbrake.

Subaru VIZIV 2 Concept teased for Geneva Motor Show

First tease for the Subaru VIZIV 2 Concept The Subaru VIZIV 2 Concept teased for a Geneva Motor Show debut is yet another concept from Subaru that points to a new crossover – at some point. Subaru kicked of the VIZIV Concept (VIZIV apparently stands for ‘Vision for Innovation’) path at last year’s Geneva Motor Show with the first VIZVIZ concept which, said Subaru, represented the future design and vision for technical innovation. Subaru aren’t saying anything much about VIZIV 2 ahead of Geneva, but the original VIZIV Concept came with a four-pot 2.0 litre boxer engine helped along by a pair of electric motors powering the back wheels and another electric motor providing power for the front wheels.
