Jaguar's C-X75 concept car, designed to celebrate the marque's 75th anniversary and unveiled today at the 2010 Paris Auto Show, is nothing if not a striking design. And its technology is equally as stunning: it's an extended-range electric car with 68 miles of range on a lithium-ion battery pack. Housed under the deck behind the passengers are a pair of 70-kilowatt gas microturbines that turn generators to provide current to the four 145-kW electric drive motors that power all four wheels once the battery is depleted.

Jaguar's XF and new 2010 XJ sedans have made waves in the sport-luxury seas, bringing a newer, fresher face to what was once a bit of a stodgy lineup. Now it looks like Jaguar may be planning even more boat-rocking, with several new models in the pipeline including a sports car, a BMW 3-Series rival and an estate wagon. The reasoning behind the new models is obvious: moving metal. To make money, Jaguar needs higher volume models, and that means lowering the bar for entry. While the XF might be argued as Jaguar's current foray into that field, it's nearer a 5-Series/E-Class size than a midsize...
