Gostei das alterações no XK, principalmente dos farolins traseiros e de pormenores no interior q o tornaram mais másculo, e um pouco mais industrial. Muito bom [br:)]

Já na dianteira não gostei do pára-choques, parece mais baixo e largo, dá a sensação q o carro vem com um avental de chef ou algo do género [:D]

“Una limusina híbrida para Jaguar a final de año

Bajo el extraño nombre "Limo Green" (extraño en el sentido de que no le pega a un Jag), Jaguar está trabajando en un proyecto junto con Lotus para ofrecer una berlina de lujo de grandes dimensiones pero con propulsión híbrida, unos consumos reducidos, y unas emisiones de CO2 bien por debajo de los límites.

Según los últimos rumores aparecidos en Jaguar Mania, el proyecto estaría cerca de concluir, con una fecha de presentación propuesta para finales del presente año, y una entrada en producción en 2010, lo cual nos podría hacer pensar en que veremos este curioso concepto en Frankfurt.

Se tratará de un híbrido de los llamados "enchufables", con unas emisiones medias de CO2 de menos de 100 gramos por kilómetro, lo que sería una cifra realmente impresionante. y unos consumos de menos de 5 litros a los 100. Para lograrlo contará con un propulsor eléctrico de 170 CV asociado con un motor de combustión para circular más allá de los 50 km que el coche puede recorrer en modo eléctrico puro.

En la web de Jaguar Mania no se habla del citado motor de combustión ni del aspecto final del coche, aunque lo suyo podría ser presentarse bajo el envase de la nueva generación XJ, cosa que está por ver. En todo caso, una evolución interesante para la marca británica que este año se llevará a Ginebra el C-XF, y que presenta un futuro atareado entre el C-XE y el nuevo XJ.”

Auto Express: Jaguar’s new C-Type

Auto Express: Jaguar’s new C-Type

It’s the sports car that every Jaguar fan has been desperate to see! This is the Big Cat’s all-new rival for Porsche’s Boxster – a compact two-seat roadster that promises performance and style at an affordable price.

Evoking memories of the legendary C-Type, it will lead a new wave of driver-focused machines, taking the firm into uncharted – but potentially very successful – territory. The compact sports market is huge and, as well as the Boxster, rivals include the Audi TT, BMW Z4 (tested on Page 50), Nissan 370Z and Mercedes SLK: Jaguar needs a slice of the action.
Drawing on the XK range’s strong following, the newcomer will feature head-turning styling and a thrilling rear-drive chassis. With a sub-£40,000 price tag, it’s a real recipe for success.

Ratan Tata, boss of Indian giant Tata Motors, which owns Jaguar-Land Rover, has made no secret of his desire for Jaguar to expand its sports car line-up – and this could be vital to securing the firm’s future. Thanks to insider information, we can give you the best view yet of how the machine could look.

It’s clear that the new model evolves cues from the XF such as the bold mesh grille, sharpened LED headlights and bonnet power bulge, making them more aggressive and sporty. Short overhangs, a steeply raked windscreen and muscular rear haunches are further highlights. The look is completed by a pert rear with slim tail-lights, an XF-style chrome strip and integrated chrome exhausts. In short, the vehicle takes the traditional British roadster shape and makes it completely modern.

As with the XK, the new sports car would use an aluminium monocoque with extruded body panels to maximise weight-saving and structural stiffness. A strict two-seater, it would feature an electrically operated folding canvas roof, to be stowed behind the occupants’ heads.

Under the bonnet there will be a wide range of engines all taken from the XF, with an entry-level 235bhp 3.0-litre V6 version and a 380bhp 5.0 V8 flagship. There’s also scope to offer the XF’s latest 3.0-litre twin-turbo diesel, which boasts 272bhp and the prospect of 40mpg. All models will feature Jaguar’s excellent six-speed automatic gearbox, complete with steering wheel-mounted paddles.

With such a lightweight chassis, even the entry-level 3.0-litre V6 will be enormously fast, boasting a 0-60mph time of around seven seconds. The 5.0-litre V8 version could slash two seconds off that sprint and accelerate on to 155mph.

As the XF has shown, Jag’s talented engineers can produce a saloon that corners like a sportster but offers a cosseting ride. So making a purer driver-pleasing roadster should be a task they will relish. But while the car will be agile, responsive and sporty to drive, it also promises to be extremely comfortable.

Of course, the firm is not without its problems: together with Tata, it is currently trying to secure financial assistance from the UK Government. And that means the new XJ saloon plus a forthcoming XF estate, as well as a convertible version of that car, are its priorities for now.

This Boxster rival, along with a replacement for the legendary E-Type and an Audi R8-style supercar, are on the drawing board, though, and would arrive in 2012 at the earliest.
Já é falado a muito tempo,espero que se torne real.Se aproveitarem bem a estrutura em alumínio pode tornar-se um novo ícone.

Este XJ actualmente é uma pérola escondida no mercado automóvel..

Jaguar XE (2013): the big cat that's aimed at Porsche

JaguarXEphoto.jpg

"By Tim Pollard (artist's impression by Motor Forecast/R.Varicak)

Jaguar is working up a new coupé and roadster pair tentatively badged XE – to tackle the Porsche Cayman/Boxster duopoly in the premium sports car market. The new Jag XE is revealed in full in the latest September 2009 issue of CAR Magazine, but we've held one artist's impression back to show online.

The two-seater is part of an ambitious strategy to turn Jaguar into the British Porsche (minus the VW family political spats that seem increasingly to distract from Stuttgart's mostly sensational road cars). The XE is part of an outline product plan that stretches to 2015, and CAR magazine lays bare the key cars in the new issue. If successful, Jaguar could soon be making more than 100,000 cars a year as a profitable independent under Tata Motors' wing.

Jaguar XE: here in 2013, you say?

That's the plan. This is a progressive sports car, designed to slot beneath the XK coupé and convertible pair starting at £60k. Think a starting price pitched around £40-50,000 in today's money, and you won't be too wide of the mark, slotting in neatly between the Boxster/Cayman and 911.

The XE is made possible by sharing a new lightweight alloy architecture that would – in the long term – form the basis for the replacement XK, XF and XJ models. It'll be a common aluminium matrix, housing the engine up front and driving the rear wheels. Incidentally, that spells the end of front-drive, Ford-derived Jaguars, ushered in through the back door in the shape of the X-type.

What's under the bonnet of the Jag XE?

Jaguar's current plan is to use exclusively V6 power, turning out 275bhp in naturally aspirated form and around 350bhp with a supercharger fitted to crank up the fun factor.

First up is the Jag XE roadster, perhaps as early as 2013 if the scheme passes the bean counter test. Coupé (pictured) and R versions would follow within two years. CAR understands that the design direction is very progressive, in line with the latest 2010 XJ and XF, sporting crisp, modern surfacing and a long nose for styling panache and a mid-front mounted layout."

Jaguar está a trabalhar-se um novo coupé e roadster par timidamente badged XE - para combater o Porsche Cayman / Boxster duopólio no mercado premium carro desportivo. O novo Jaguar XE é revelada na íntegra no último set. 2009 questão da CAR Magazine, mas temos realizado um artista da impressão de volta para mostrar online.

Os dois lugares, faz parte de uma estratégia ambiciosa para ligar para a britânica Jaguar Porsche (menos a VW spats família política que parece cada vez mais para distrair de Stuttgart da maioria sensacional veículos rodoviários). O XE é parte de um esquema produto plano que se estende até 2015, e revista CAR define nua a tecla carros no novo problema. Se for bem sucedido, Jaguar poderia em breve ser tomada mais de 100.000 automóveis um ano como um lucrativo independente sob Tata Motors' asa.

Jaguar XE: aqui, em 2013, você disse?

Esse é o plano. Este é um carro desportivo progressivo, projetado para slot abaixo do XK Coupé e Cabrio par começa em £ 60k. Pense um preço começando campal em torno de £ 40-50,000 hoje em dinheiro, e você não será demasiado grande da marca, em slotting limpamente entre o Boxster / Cayman e 911.

O XE é possível através da partilha de uma nova arquitectura que liga leve - no longo prazo - constituem a base para a substituição XK, XF XJ e modelos. Vai ser uma matriz comum de alumínio, a habitação, o motor à frente e de condução das rodas traseiras. Aliás, que anuncia o fim de front-drive, a Ford-derivadas Jaguar, iniciada com a porta traseira através da forma do X-tipo.

O que está sob o capô do Jaguar XE?

Jaguar do actual plano é utilizar exclusivamente V6 poder, transformando a 275bhp naturalmente aspirados em forma e em torno de 350bhp superalimentador equipado com uma manivela para o fator diversão.

Em primeiro lugar, encontra-se o Jag XE Roadster, talvez logo em 2013 se o regime passa a contrariar feijão teste. Coupé (foto) e R versões sucederiam no prazo de dois anos. CAR entendem que o desenho é muito direcção progressiva, de acordo com as últimas XJ 2010 eo XF, desportivas crisp moderna, pavimentação e um longo nariz para styling cocar e um médio-frontal montado esquema."
