Sedan Jaguar XJ

When you're sitting behind the wheel of a new Jaguar XJ, it would appear that no rainy day could affect your mood. Well, except for those 6,475 U.S.-spec units manufactured between July 28, 2009 and November 3, 2010, on which the front wiper arms weren't sufficiently torqued during assembly. Consequently, Jaguar has issued a recall for the affected cars, according to a NHTSA press release.

Conceito Jaguar C-X16

A Jaguar divulgou a primeira imagem do concept car C-X16. Desenvolvido pela equipe que produziu os Jaguar XJ, XF e XK, o protótipo C-X16 representa o primeiro avanço do futuro coupé compacto da marca britânica, destinado a concorrer com modelos como o Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Audi TT e BMW Z4, entre outros.



O diretor de design, Ian Callum, afirma que “os Jaguar excepcionais foram sempre belos, inovadores e inequivocamente futuristas. O protótipo final C-X16 tem o potencial de proporcionar tudo isto, mantendo a capacidade de surpreender, entusiasmar e refrescar.”

Este protótipo de produção demonstra a qualidade das capacidades de design e engenharia da Jaguar para tornar estes planos realidade , estou ansioso por partilhar o C-X16 no Salão Automóvel de Frankfurt.”

These stretched cars, with their multiple rows of seats and doors, were essentially the primitive precursor to the modern day shuttle bus.

Bertone’s Baby Jaguar Sports Sedan: Not My Cup of Tea

In all honestly, I really struggle to see how the Bertone B99 fits into Jaguar’s past and current design lineage and line-up. The new generation of Jags – the XF and the XJ – are sleek, risqué and look like nothing else on the market.
