I love the Jaguar XJ, particularly the Supercharged version (which is no longer available as the XJR – shame), but even I have to admit that it’s no longer a car I would want to live with everyday. Its strength, and ultimately its weakness, is that it looks little different conceptually from the iconic XJs […]
Official: Honda F1 becomes Brawn GP
Well, it’s good to see they survived! After reporting last week that the Honda F1 team was going to be the subject of a management buyout, thus securing the team and its employees, an official announcement has now been made and we can confirm that Ross Brawn has taken control of the Honda F1 Team, […]
Jaguar and Land Rover’s Big Chinese Takeaway
As we are only too well aware, car makers are having the most torrid of times. Massive drops in car sales in the UK (at least in new cars – UK used car sales are actually rising) means car makers’ cashflows are horrific. But it looks like there’s a white knight on the horizon for […]
Jaguar XFR Photo Image Gallery
The Jaguar XF marks the start of Jaguar’s renaissance, and has been the best received car from Jaguar in a generation. It has all the modern style and 21st century technology required to make it a real force in the car market, but retains enough Jaguar heritage to mark it out as a real Jaguar. […]
Jaguar XF prices announced
Jaguar has had quite a time at the Detroit Motor show, and has taken the car wolrd by storm with the launch of the XFR and the XKR. And just a short time before that they also announced the new 3.0 litre diesel for the XF (which we believe will also end up in the […]
Jaguar to build R8 rival
Jaguar has its problems, there is no doubt. Tata is struggling financially with its recently acquired Jaguar / Land Rover set-up, but then virtually every car maker has major problems at the moment. And yes, it has just laid off 450 staff, although this seems to be more about management rationalisation than shedding pure manufacturing […]
XFR Jag the fastest ever
Car manufacturers have been very reticent about anything related to performance of late (unless it’s to tell us that the exhaust gases from their latest eco-box will save the planet) so its good to see that the boffins at Jaguar have been let out to play at the beach (well, the Bonneville Salt Flats, to […]
2009 Jaguar XKR is unveiled
We brought you the first undisguised pictures of Jaguar’s updated XK a few days ago, and Jaguar has now officially unveiled the XKR at the Detroit Motor Show. As we reported, the styling updates, although modest, do freshen the car up nicely and make it feel more current. A new front end with chrome-rimmed air […]
Jaguar XFR – the Cat’s out of the bag
The much anticipated Jaguar XFR – the blown version of the XF – is due to launch any day at Detroit, but the embargo has been broken early, and the images of the new Cat are here in all their glory. The XFR is Jaguar’s answer to the barn-storming saloons from Mercedes, BMW and Audi, […]
Facelift Jaguar XK spotted
We’ve seen a few shots of the facelift for the Jaguar XK recently, but this is the first un-disguised car we’ve come across. The obvious at first view are the new vents in the front, but it’s a bit more extensive than that. The whole car has been tweaked to give a more current style, […]
