Latest Jaguar XJ Spyshots
Apologies for the absence of posts in December - An office move has limited our time scouring for and posting the latest Jaguar news - normal service is now resumed!
Just to prove it, here are the latest shots of the next generation Jaguar XJ that are currently floating round the interweb. Unlike previous spyshots which have been of the current generation XJ body shell being used as a test mule, here we have the real thing - early pressings of the body shell that will make up the new car, heavily disguised of course.
From the rear particularly, we can see the cladding around the top of the C Pillar that is designed to disguise the incredibly coupe-like roof line that the new XJ carries. This shows clearly Jaguar is moving away from the traditional 3 box shape completely, and towards the 4 door coupe style that we have seen in the Aston Rapide concept, the latest Maserati, The Lamborghini Estoque, and all started with the Mercedes CLS, which was internally known at Mercedes as the Jag-Beater during its development.
The new XJ is expected to be revealed at the Frankfurt show in September, and should have the new generation of engines currently being debuted in the Jaguar XF and Jaguar XK - the new 3.0 diesel in both 237 and 270 horsepower forms, and the 5.0 V8 both as a naturally aspirated and supercharged format. Prices are expected to be up on the £50,000 a current XJ costs.
