Novo XJ

"Our spy photographers have snapped a prototype of the next-generation Jaguar XJ being put through its paces at the Nurburgring.
Although hidden under bodywork from the current car, the test mule’s blistered wheelarches and extended front end give a good indication of the crucial model’s larger external dimensions.
Jaguar insiders have previously told Autocar that the new XJ, which uses the internal code X351, uses the aluminium chassis of the current XJ but wears all-new bodywork. According to one source who has seen the car in the metal, “It looks like the XF’s features have been draped over an Aston Martin Rapide.”
Production of the new car is scheduled to begin late next year, with Jaguar hoping that the XJ will be able to build on the massive international success of the mid-sized XF saloon."

Jaguar readies new diesel XK sports car

By Tim Pollard

26 November 2008 09:50



Jaguar will relaunch its XK range in 2009 with a fuel-supping diesel and a pair of new V8 petrol engines. It will be the first time Jaguar has built a sports car that sups from the black pump – and will pitch it head-to-head with BMW’s 635d.
The engine in question is Jaguar’s new 3.0-litre turbodiesel, that’s being developed to replace the 2.7 V6. It remains a twin-turbo unit but the hike in capacity should give the big Jaguar more oomph than today’s rather tepid 2.7.
Why launch a diesel Jag XK?

Sales of the XK haven’t been as strong as Jaguar would like, so it’s a natural extension to the range as buyers flock to more tax and fuel efficient vehicles. The 3.0 V6 will achieve the holy grail of being more powerful than today’s 204bhp/320lb ft diesel yet it comes with emissions some 20g/km cleaner.
But I want a petrol sports car, thank you very much!

Don’t worry, Jaguar hasn’t gone all French on us. The 4.2-litre models will be replaced by the new family 5.0-litre V8, heralding the arrival of direct fuel injection. That means power outputs of around 400bhp (naturally aspirated) and 500bhp (supercharged R versions).
Both new petrol and diesel engines will cascade through the range of larger Jaguars (and Land Rovers), so expect revisions to XF, XK and XJ.
Jaguar XK: the facelift

It’s not just new powerplants for the XK. The exterior will be slightly fettled, but these latest spy photos taken this week near Jaguar’s Coventry engineering base prove there won’t be much change outside. The cabin will be overhauled, however, with the arrival of the JaguarDrive Selector pop-up rotary gearchange and other tweaks.
Expect the new Jaguar XK to arrive in March 2009, wearing a price tag from around £55,000 to compete head-on with the BMW 635d.

Ya, está tudo bem com esse modelo... talvez uma actualização técnica, porque em termos de aspecto, está mesmo 100% adoro-o, é pena já não se fazerem carros elegantes e másculos como esse: baixo, largo e comprido, com um cockpit bem proporcionado...

Jaguar XK 2009: novos motores 5.0V8 e 3.0d. Dos primeiros ainda não há dados oficiais. Do segundo sabe-se que atingirá 250km/h e os 100 em menos de 6s... Há mudanças tb no interior, ao estilo do XF...
