Nice, always had a bit of a soft spot for Jaguars.
Not sold on the blue colour, bit bright for a Jaguar, I'd get it in Stratus Grey or Cashmere, |

The new Jag range is fricken brilliant, everything about them seems right and beautiful. Id get a Jag over an equivalent Merc/BMW anyday.
Theres a nice XF in what looks like British racing Green but darker near me and its unreal.

I thought the Jaguar's had a development of the old Jaguar/Aston Martin 4.2 Litre V8 with capacity increased to 5.0 Litres and direct injection Added.
~285kw non-supercharged. The Coyote/Miami is a completely new engine. |

That's very sexy indeed.
Would like to see one with a white/carbon fibre theme.

If so, that isn't correct, the engine in the Jag is a derivative of the Jag AJ-V8. The V8 in the FPV is a different engine totally. The last Ford to use a Jag V8, the AJ30/AJ35 was the Ford Thunderbird. The engine was stopped in 2006. As for the XKR-S without the wing it'll look good.

XKR Promo
Autocar.co.uk Review Would LOVE one of those. Only downside is that there is no Manual, ZF Auto only. |

The miami easily sees ponies beyond the factory FPV figures, theyve just chosen that number to suit its image & price range. |

They are awesome, but rear wing doesn't look too good.

Jaguar are bringing out a smaller car, the XS, to compete with BMW 3 series. If it looks as good as the rest of the range it should do really well.
