I am in the market for an electric car. Well, actually, I’ve been in the market for a FLYING car my whole life but to date my hopes of ever having one are at an all time low. Magazines like Popular Mechanics have been promising that they’re just around the corner since the 1940’s but alas, no flying car sits in my driveway…sigh…

I fired up Twitter this morning and something shiny caught my eye from Engadget, the Jaguar C-X75 concept car that Jaguar is taunting us with to celebrate it’s 75th anniversary…squirrel…

The car is gorgeous and awe inspiring and will never see the light of day (isn’t that the definition of a concept car?). Popular Science has a blurb about it as well, but they start comparing its specs against those of the Chevy Volt – like there’s some kind of correlation between this fantasy car and a real-life-shipping-today car like the Volt…weird analogy. I looked at the Jaguar site, but didn’t see any mentions of it, just their production cars. A little more digging, however, and I found much better specs on the C-X75 can be found on the TopSpeed site along with a nice photo gallery.

Like I said, I don’t expect this car to ever see production, but I do expect to see innovations like the independent micro-turbines for extending the range and power available to vehicles down the pike. For now, I’ll continue to dream about my next electric-powered vehicle and hope that eventually I’ll have one that flies ;?)
