The following car is a compact, rear-wheel drive, two-seater that is powered by a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 ensuring 376 horsepower, 332 pound-feet of torque. The car offers an eight-speed gearbox.

The manufacturer claim that a top speed of 186 mph. I am so excited to see this car in series production. It seems to me an ideal sports car of the future!

According to the manufacturer, the car drew inspiration from the XJ. The new model – 2012 Jaguar XF – features a new front fascia and a revised grille and bi-xenon headlights. The car looks very expensive and elegant.

Inside you will get improved seats and some other cosmetic changes. The car will boast a new 2.2-liter four-cylinder diesel and an eight-speed automatic transmission which enables the car to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 8.5 seconds. The top speed is 225 km/h.

Just one look at the Jaguar XKR – and you can understand, that Jaguar trade mark is in a full swing. Almost all its cars are well-thought, gorgeous, stylish and has no disadvantages, but for expensive price. But, who knows?!

New Jaguar XKR takes care about driving, because it is well-balanced and seemed to be glued to the road while riding. As to the interior and exterior design: developed  by a creative team, led by Ian Callum, seems like a sport car silhouette multiplied by elegance and muscles. This Jaguar can be proud of new comfortable sport car seats, also, it has an ‘R’ badge on the tachometer, gear selector and steering wheel. The exterior is made in a “weave pattern” design, and, of course, this car is: ecologically-friendly and made taking into consideration leading principles of ergonomics (simple and clear info display on the instrument panel).

To tell the truth, S-Type Jaguar is known to the public since 1999. Also, there are some propositions, to replace it with a completely new model – the XF in 2009. These cars belong to E2 category (premium business class), the competition is extremely tough here and since 1999 Jaguar sedan S-Type is an important player there. These cars are made on the Ford LS1 platform. The new S-Type is a sedan car with a rather interesting shape that combines the retro chic and brand new look of a luxurious sport car. Creating of this car was inspired by first of all, previous cars in the Jaguar model range, than, by such cars as the RD6 and R-Coupe. Some people do believe, that the look of this car was taken from the XK coupe. It is going to be on sales next year.

For the first time, the society have seen Jaguar S-Type on the London motor-show in 1963. It can be called “Noting special!” Because it was a model with one aim to fill the gap between two existing Jaguar-models Mk II and an extremely popular car Mk X. It was spent 680 million of dollars onto it development. Half of this sum was spent onto the modernization of existing plant in Birmingham – finally, it became the only one plant, covering the whole stages of car-production. Since then, this car is known to us and gains the popularity!

Those lucky guys, which have already seen one, reported that:

• In such model as XJ sedan and XK was widely used aluminum, but in this model, its usage will be minimized. But it will be still present, mainly in to save weight. The interior looks much alike with XK model.
• The engine will have no changes – it will be the same lineup. All standard cars will be installed with a six-speed automatic.
• This car has a new front and rear fascias, S-Type R bumper and mesh grille, leather seats and steering, ABS+EBD, TC, DSC.
• This car has an electronic suspension-control system (CATS), new wheels and rubber of Z-type.
• Max. speed of the new Jaguar S-Type is 240 km/h.

It is a new luxurious sport sedan. It has the latest technical appliances as well, such as: mobile phone, navigation system, etc. The most t interesting appliance of this car is a system of voice-control. It is not made yet, but it already has a number of opponents. They call this car the snows of yesteryear. But, as form me, such a design makes this car even more noticeable and attractive for buyers. I am not the only one in my suggestions, have a look at this blog Car News, I really like it!
