Might There Be a 700 hp Hybrid Jaguar F-Type?

Very surprising, but very cool.

The F-Type is already an impressive car, with a maximum output of 495 hp in V8 S trim, but that hasn't stopped Jaguar from working on an R-S badged lunatic's edition.

The F-Type R-S would have a hybrid powertrain putting out around 700 horsepower and be able to top 200 mph, and only be available as a coupe. In order to develop this sort of power, one could assume that some tech would be derived from the axed C-X75 supercar project, that used a turbo and supercharged I4 in conjunction with electric motors to push out the power of 900 horses. 

Expect to see news of a potential F-Type R-S no sooner than 2016.
