Jaguar Spices Up 2008 XJ
Jaguar has decided that it is time yet again to change things up and attract more enthusiasts by spicing up the XJ sedan. The redone XJ will debut at the Geneva show, with the aluminum-bodied car getting an outstanding lower front air scoop, an XK-style vent in the front fender and a trunk-lid spoiler.
Who Wants The Jaguar F-Type Back?
In 2000 the Ford Motor Company was drowning in SUV cash and Jaguar looked ready for a big-time turnaround. Excitement for the brand grew when the Concept F-Type was shown at the 2000 North American International Auto Show. Executive Wolfgang Reitzle even gave the project the green light and then pulled the plug due to not having enough money for it.
Jagaur XKR GT3 Prepares To Race
First Mazda and Peugeot showed off their prototype racers and now we are hearing about production-based racecars. At the same Birmingham show that will see the debut of Aston Martin’s V8 Vantage N24 customer track car, Jaguar is showing its new XKR GT3 car.
The Autosport International Show at the NEC, Birmingham is the place and the car is the race version of Jaguar’s sporty new aluminum-bodied, supercharged XKR, this one eligible for the FIA GT3 European Championship. Richard Lloyd and the Apex Motorsport crew have developed this ferocious feline to compete in the GT3 series that has become so popular around the world.
2007 Jagaur XF
Jaguar just delivered the first images and information on the 2008 Jaguar S-Type, but most people won’t even notice anything different from the previous five model years. That’s because Jaguar is replacing the S-Type with an all-new sedan called the XF in early 2008.
Jaguar C-XF Concept
Jaguar had to do something to pick up their sales. The reality is likely this: Buyers don’t want to spend tons of money for a vehicle that is high tech underneath, but decidedly old school on the surface. Cutting-edge aluminum construction cannot compensate for outdated designs.
Borrowing from Ford’s crisis playbook, the next Jaguar has to be bold enough to move the brand forward. The C-XF concept car debuted at the Detroit auto show marks the biggest change for Jaguar in 30 years, and it predicts the style and presentation of the S-type replacement, the 2008 Jaguar XF.
