  • 2012 Jaguar XF and XFR

    Jaguar has introduced several models at the 2011 New York Auto Show. Both XF and XFR feature fresh new look with slim new headlight units set into which are distinctive LED lighting strips sitting either side of a larger, more upright grille.

    The bonnet line is lowered as well as the new look to the lower bumper section complete with a trio of airdams, the outside pair of which are now intersected by twisted chrome fins.

    At the rear, the tail lamp units have been redesigned and now have LEDs. They are also extended further into the boot lid with a new chrome blade sitting below a simple Jaguar leaper badge.

    The interior features a restyled steering wheel, a new switchgear for the ventilation systems and all-new colour central and dial-mounted screens relaying reprogrammed navigation and entertainment software.  The seats are also new and now offer greater support.

    The engine range for XF includes 2.2 litre common rail diesel with 190PS (140 kW) and 450Nm (332 lb-ft). The engine is mated to a 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox. This model also has an innovative Stop-Start system, so the engine returs 50mpg and CO2 emission of just 149 g/km. The more powerful 3.0 litre V6 has 240PS or 275PS for Diesel S. The powerful V8 is developing 385PS.

    2012 Jaguar XFR is powered by a 5.0 liter supercharged V8 with 510PS and 622Nm (461 lb-ft) of torque. It features new sill extensions, a redesigned 20” wheels, adaptive dynamic suspension and full aerodynamic styling.

    2012 XF will hit the market in September. The price is £30 950 for the 2.2-litre diesel engine and the range-topping XFR is priced at £65 350.

    i-Stop-Start will reduce the time spent in the shutdown and start-up phase. Along with it, there is an advanced 8-speed ZF automatic gearbox.

    The acceleration is satisfying – 0 to 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 225 km/h (140 mph).

  • Jaguar at the Goodwood Festival of Speed

    The 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed was launched today and Jaguar takes a huge part in it. Furthermore, the 50th anniversary of the iconic E-type is being celebrated.

    Yasmin Le Bon and her daughter Ambe were present at the launch of the show. Amber posed alongside arguably the most famous E-type of all – one of two cars to have made an epic, high-speed journey from Coventry to Geneva in March 1961 at the behest of Sir William Lyons.  The car, a prototype Series One E-type roadster carrying the registration “77 RW”, was delivered by Norman Dewis, Chief Test Driver at the time.

    The new Jaguar XKR-S was tested by doing a series of dramatic demonstration runs up the notorious Goodwood hill.

    The 2011 Goodwood Festival of Speed will see Jaguar take centre stage with a dramatic sculpture being commissioned for the lawn in front of Goodwood House.  The fans will be able to view an array of Jaguars from the past, present and a little way into the future with the XK120, and examples of the C-, D- and E-type.

    The Festival will start on Thursday 30 June with the Moving Motor Show – a chance for visitors to experience the latest Jaguar road cars and even get behind and take on the Goodwood hill.

  • Jaguar B99

    Jaguar B99 Concept is a four-door coupe, which measures 4.5 meters long, 1.95 meters wide and 1.35 meters tall. This means that the car is slightly smaller than the old X-Type.

    B99 brings revolution in the design of four-door coupes, because it doesn’t feature the sloping roof line. Instead, a normal sedan-like C-pillar is inserted, but this makes the rear doors half the size of the front doors. (more…)
