Jaguar C-X75's 502HP 1.6-Liter Engine May Power a Production Car

There are no plans to produce the Jaguar C-X75, but the engine that gave the bulk of its power, the 502HP 1.6-liter turbocharged, four cylinder gasoline unit, may still have a chance. According to a report from Piston Heads, the F1-derived engine is still being developed and could make it to production. Read more »

Jaguar Tells the Sad Tale of the Axed C-X75 Supercar

It looks like Jaguar is having a hard time giving up on its C-X75 hypercar. As you probably remember, the company announced late last year it was going to axe the project due to difficult market conditions that would have made a £1 million Jaguar ($1.53 million) hard to justify. Read more »

New Jaguar E-Type Concept Project by Alexander Imnadze Looks Amazingly Sleek

There are some young automotive designers whose names and work keep popping up on our radar, and all for good reason. Alexander Imnadze is one of them.

After grasping our attention for the first time with this Lamborghini Concept, he followed up with the Ferrari Quattroporte sports sedan and more recently, the Alfa Romeo 6C, and now he is preparing a new, and might we add, very interesting design concept for a modern Jaguar E-Type.

Autocar Gets Behind the Wheel of the Stillborn C-X75 Hybrid Hypercar

The automotive world is often a cruel one, and some of the coolest cars never make it into consumers’ hands, because of some technicality, costs or logistics. I was quite sad when Jaguar announced last year that their promising C-X75 hybrid hypercar, which was both reportedly very green and very fast, received the axe, and I feared I would never get to see one of these in action.

Jaguar Tells Autocar F-Type Coupe Patents Show Concept, We Say Pics May Suggest Otherwise

Recently, German car magazine shared some patent renderings showing what they reported as being the F-Type Coupe, something we agreed upon leaving a small question mark. However, just the other day, British publication came with a report stating that a Jaguar spokesperson told them that the "apparent F-type coupé renderings in fact show the C-X16 concept from 2011". As usually happens in our digital world, many sites jumped in on Autocar's report and took it for granted.

After looking into the matter again, we'll disagree with Autocar's assessment that the renderings clearly show the concept – not because of a spokesperson statement, but due to facts from specific photos of the patented coupe, the C-X16 Concept and the production F-Type roadster.

This is the Original Jaguar F-Type that Never Made It to Production

Long before the current F-Type, Jaguar was very close to launching a similar car that would have been the first true successor to the iconic E-Type. As the XJ-S failed to emulate the E-Type’s success, in 1980 Jaguar started developing the F-Type, codenamed XJ41 (coupe) and XJ42 (roadster).

The F-Type was supposed to use the underpinnings of the XJ40 sedan and to look like a modern reinterpretation of the E-Type. Signed off for production in July 1982 by Jaguar’s then owner British Leyland, the F-Type started taking shape, with a launch date set for March 1986.

Jaguar XK-1 Design Concept Resurrects the Classic D-Type

Like all sports and premium carmakers with a long presence in the industry, Jaguar has created some models, which for one reason or the other, have withstood the test of time and become legends.

The D-Type is one such model. Produced between 1954 and 1957, the sports racing car with the distinct shapes and lines won the Le Mans 24-hour endurance race in 1955, 1956 and 1957. It is this classic model that inspired the creation of the Jaguar XK-I Concept by Mudit Gupta, a design student from the DSK ISD International School of Design in Pune, India.

Jaguar C-X3 is a Design Concept for a BMW 1-Series and Mercedes A-Class Rival

Jaguar's last effort to expand its automobile range with a more affordable model, the 2001-2009 X-Type sedan, didn't quite work for a number of reasons, but the truth is, if the British brand wants to remain alive and competitive, it will eventually have to give it another try, something that the company's bosses haven’t denied.

Whether Jaguar will attempt to build another compact executive sedan or if it will choose a different category, remains to be seen.

New Jaguar F-Type Officially Revealed, Prices Start from £58,500 in the UK [Photos & Video]

The Jaguar F-Type will certainly be one of this year’s Paris Auto Show main attractions with the British brand providing all the juicy details during the presentation of the car at the Musée Rodin museum in Paris.

The front-engined, rear-wheel drive convertible was previewed at the 2011 IAA by the C-X16 concept. Despite that concept being a coupe, the F-Type, which is a soft-top convertible, remains remarkably faithful to the concept.

Jaguar claims that its models have “always defined sinuous, muscular simplicity”, adding that the F-Type follows the same principles.

“A piece of design should tell a story and this is why every line in the F-Type has a start, a direction and a conclusion”, said the brand’s director of design Ian Callum. “If you approach every line individually and get it as aesthetically correct as possible, get the dimensions right, it will stand the test of time”, he added.

Jaguar XF Clay Model gets the Axe…Literally

All automakers create real-life size clay models of their upcoming production and concept models. Most of the times, once they have served their purpose, these prototypes are destroyed under secrecy.

In a eureka moment, Jaguar decided to make something out of the destruction of one of its older XF clay models by filming the designers and sculptors going primitively wild on the prototype and sharing the video with us.

Head past the break to take a look at it.

U Imagine: Jaguar C-X16 Rendered into the F-Type Roadster

After Jaguar itself admitted the relationship between the C-X16 Coupe Concept that was displayed at last year's Frankfurt motor show and the firm's upcoming F-Type roadster, it was only a matter of time before someone put their photoshop skills to work.

In our case, that someone happens to be a Carscoop reader that goes by the alias 'Plattform' in our comments section.
