Jaguar XF Clay Model gets the Axe…Literally


All automakers create real-life size clay models of their upcoming production and concept models. Most of the times, once they have served their purpose, these prototypes are destroyed under secrecy.

In a eureka moment, Jaguar decided to make something out of the destruction of one of its older XF clay models by filming the designers and sculptors going primitively wild on the prototype and sharing the video with us.

Head past the break to take a look at it.

Watch and Hear Jaguar's Upcoming Two-Seater F-Type Roadster on the Road


As pointed out in the video by former F1 driver and commentator Martin Brundle, it's been a long time since Jaguar had a new two-seater sports car in its range – more than 50 years if you start counting from the presentation of the legendary E-Type in 1961, around 20 years if you take into consideration the limited production XJR-15 and XJ220 supercars.

Jaguar's new proposal goes by the name F-Type and it is based on last year's warmly received C-X16 concept coupe. Even though it will launch as a roadster model, a coupe will follow later on.

Jaguar Previews All-New F-Type Roadster Based on the C-X16 Study, Goes on Sale in 2013


Jaguar is moving like a cheetah with the development of its new sports car model that was teased at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show through the C-X16 Concept study.

Today, at the New York Auto Show, the company announced the production model will be called the F-Type and it will launch as a roadster in mid-2013. A coupe variant will most likely follow in 2014.

"We showed the C-X16 concept in September 2011, and the reaction to it has been so positive that we've accelerated our development of an all-new Jaguar sports car," commented Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar Global Brand Director.

Jaguar Shows More Versatile but Equally Stylish XF Sportbrake in Geneva


If you live in Europe and are interested in an executive station wagon, you will soon be able to add one more vehicle to your shopping list as Jaguar is attempting to draw customers away from the Audi A6 Avant, BMW 5-Series Touring and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate with its new XF Sportbrake.

Jaguar's second ever estate model is based on the XF sedan riding on the same wheelbase but it adds 48mm of rear headroom for the rear passengers while there's also 550-liter of boot space with the seats up and 1,675 liters when they're lying flat.

One Helluva Catfight: EVO Pits New Jaguar XKR-S against 1992 XJ220 at the Nürburgring


In the 1980s supercar battle, Ferrari had the raw F40, Porsche the highly sophisticated 959 and Jaguar had, well, nothing. That is, until its chief engineer, Jim Randle, decided to begin work on an unsanctioned project on a mid-engine, all-wheel drive Jag supercar.

The XJ220 concept, named after its 220 mph (350 km/h) claimed top speed, was unveiled at the 1988 British Motor Show. It sported a 6.2-liter version of Jaguar’s classic V12 engine with a quad-cam system developed for testing in the Le Mans XJR-9 racer and, as Randle envisioned, all-wheel drive.

Jaguar Creates Short Film Charting the XF Diesel's Coast-to-Coast Journey


We could be wrong, but it looks increasingly possible that Jaguar may be testing the waters to see if there's any interest in its new diesel-powered version of the XF premium saloon in the States.

Following the completion of the 2,884-miles coast-to-coast trip in a standard, UK-registered, right-hand drive XF 2.2D, the British automaker has now released a short film recording bits and pieces from the journey made by independent testers, David and Alexander Madgwick, mixed with facts about the car.

IAA 2011: C-X16 Production Concept is “The Future of Jaguar Sports Cars”


Jaguar is so far under-performing, recording a 27% sales drop in the first quarter of the year. Indian owner Tata Motors is determined though to turn its fortunes around by investing US$2.5 billion annually for the next five years in the British luxury carmaker and its Land Rover stable mate in order to develop 40 new models and variants.

A spiritual successor to the legendary E-Type is certainly a good start: a modern sports coupe along with a roadster variant boasting compact dimensions and 21st century design and driving dynamics. This is exactly Jaguar’s main attraction at the 64th Frankfurt Motor Show: the C-X16 “production concept”, as the study is officially named, clearly pointing at a road-going model.

Following the release of a single teaser rendering, the British carmaker unloaded a slew of photos and information on the concept that is believed to lead to a production model sitting under the XK and aiming at the likes of both the Porsche Cayman and 911.

Jaguar Releases First Running Footage of its Hardcore XKR-S Sports Coupe


According to Jaguar, the new XKR-S is the most powerful and fastest mass production sports car the company has ever built. The hardest-looking version of the XK series gets an uprated supercharged V8 direct-injection engine churning out 550-ponies and 680Nm of torque, good enough to propel the sports coupe from 0 to 60 (96km/h) in 4.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 186mph (300km/h).

Following last week’s reveal at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Indian-owned British carmaker released the first footage of the sports coupe being put through its paces on the road as well as on the track. Unfortunately, Jaguar also covered the supercharged V8 engine’s howls with some annoying music beats… Watch the video for yourself right after the break.

Video of Bertone's B99 Baby Jaguar Concept for a BMW 3-Series Rival


One of the most talked about prototype models at this year's edition of the Geneva Motor Show is Bertone's concept for an entry-level Jaguar sports sedan called the B99. While the British automaker has turned a new page with the designs of its latest XF and XJ saloons, Bertone proposes a modernized version of the classic Jaguar three-box saloon. For some it works fine, for others it's an unnecessary throwback to old times. Watch the video after the break and tell us what you think in the comments section below.
