Tonight Show host and longtime car collector Jay Leno recently reviewed the Jaguar C-X75, an electric-powered sports car concept that is on display at the Los Angeles auto show. He took a walk-around with Ian Callum, the car’s designer, but most important, he got to drive it.

The English luxury car maker unveiled C-X75 at the Paris Motor Show in late September. The car, which recalls Jaguar designs dating to the 1960s, is powered by electric motors and lithium ion batteries. It can run on electricity alone for about 68 miles and also has a pair of small gas turbines to recharge the batteries or send power directly to the four electric motors that drive each wheel. The power system generates up to 778 horsepower.

While Leno’s drive was extremely slow, the company says the car can accelerate from zero to 62 mph (100 kilometers per hour) in 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 205 mph. Though not slated for production, the C-X75 represents technology and “design language” that could turn up in future Jaguar cars.
