The wait for a smaller Jaguar sports car is drawing to a close. In fact, the automaker released official photos of its C-X16 concept earlier this morning, which is reportedly a good preview of the so-called XE model due to launch within the next few years.
We'll have a more extensive look at the car up shortly, but here's the quick summary: the C-X16 slots in beneath the XK, seats only two, but packs a serious punch. A new all-aluminum supercharged 3.0-liter V-6, rated at 380 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, lurks underhood. That engine's paired with a hybrid system that offers a so-called "push to pass" function. Much like the KERS systems employed in Formula One racing, an electric motor � rated at 93 hp and 173 lb-ft of torque � can provide an extra boost.
Jaguar says that powertrain is just as mean as it is green: in fact, the automaker claims it can rocket the C-X16 from 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds, and ultimately to a top speed of 186 mph. Better yet, it'll look darn good doing so, thanks to a slender, curvaceous form that blends cues from both the XK and the forthcoming C-X75 supercar.
