The Jaguar XF is a four-door sedan and five meters in length. It is on sale since 2008. Its main virtue is that provides comfort suspension, whatever the type and condition of the road. In this respect I find it difficult to say whether it is better or worse than a Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Besides the [...]
Jaguar XKR 2010 is more luxurious and faster than its previous models. The engine displacement is increased to 5.0 liters from previous 4.2 liters. The power has been increased by 100 hp. The maximum power this V8 supercharged engine sends to its rear wheels is 510 hp. The engine is married to six-speed electronically controlled [...]
Jaguar’s designers and engineers were very conscious of the serious mistakes made in the late 1990s. Poor styling, a low rent interior and its budget US sourced running gear hobbled the 1998 retro styled S Type. The 2000 ‘compact’ X Type was undermined by retro styling and the fact it was based on the ageing [...]
After the extensive debate over the ill fated “F Type” project which was to replace the ageing XJS, Ford cancelled the extraordinary four wheel drive, twin turbo machine and decided to start from scratch on an all new coupe. The car had to be successful in the all important US market. It was in many [...]
The Jaguar XJ 220 was by far the most outlandish of the late 1980s super cars, a food of which were born on the back of the world wide economics boom. It began life as nothing more than a Christmas holiday doodle by Jaguar’s engineering boss, Jim Randle and progressed as “The Saturday Club”, with [...]
The MK X was easily the most sophisticated Jaguar saloon yet. It had the triple carburetor 3.8 liter XK engine from the E Type, power steering as standard and fully independent suspension, the quadruple damper rear and also fitted to Jaguar’s new sports car. Smooth and rotund in styling with a girth of 6ft 4in [...]
The C-Type was the sports car that twice won the Le Mans 24 hour race for Jaguar (1851 and 1953), and is forever associated with those two magical moments of racing glory. Based on the XK 120, it capitalized on all its elder sisters character and strengths, whilst finding plenty of ways to crave out [...]
In 1950, 100 mph twin cam luxury saloons were pretty thin on the ground. Still fewer were pitched under the $1000 barrier. No surprise, then that the Jaguar plant at Brown’s Lane in the Midlands could hardly keep up with the orders when they announced the flagship MK VII. Although the identically engined XK 120 [...]
Fortunately for jaguar, we are putting more emphasis on how these cars perform on the road than on the tracks. On the paper, the new XKR-S looked like it might do well around Anglesey. To the standard XKR’s stiff, relatively light weight aluminum construction and 416bhp supercharged V8 and the S adds firmer, 10mm lower [...]
  The Jaguar XKR-S Coupe will be on sale summer ’08 and only 200 cars will be produced. They will only be available on the European markets, with left and right hand drive and all cars will come in black. It’s the fastest of its kind, with 19mph more then the XKR and [...]
