It’s now clear that Jaguar are about to announce a new, hard core version of the XKR, based on last year’s XKR Goodwood Special. Last year Jaguar took a ‘Hot’ XKR to the Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Jaguar Land Rover – new 4-pot engines & ‘Made in China’
Jaguar Land Rover are working towards building their own 4-cylinder engines in conjunction with parent Tata, and are setting up production in China.

Jaguar: 0-75 years in under 4 minutes
Jaguar are celebrating 75 years this year and we have video chronicling cars from the SS100 right through to the new Jaguar XJ. If Jaguar had reached the milestone of 75 years of car making even five years ago, playing the ‘History’ card would have been a dangerous game. The perception then was that Jaguar […]
New Jaguar XJ joins the new Government – eventually
Jaguar have missed out on some stunning PR for the new Jaguar XJ by failing to get the XJ in Government hands in time for the election. Yes, I know we’re supposed to be on the pulse of everything that’s going on in the world of cars. And honestly, we usually are. But these last […]
