In addition there is a TFT touch screen display, called Jaguar Co-Pilot in the dashboard for information sources. The driver"s cabin gets the imminent data of status and rpm of the two gas turbines.

The charge range is 110 km/ charge despite the less weight turbine engines capable of 900 km on lithium-ion batteries. Jaguar has fitted a miniature turbine blade, designed with the technical assistance from Bladon Jets, which has the efficiency to increase the compression of micro-gas turbines. The average power output from each of these gas-turbines is 70 kw on 80000 rpm, at the emission of 28 gms of CO2 /km. Jaguar demonstrated the performance of this Eco-friendly version for the acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds.
