If you like the cultured growl of a Jaguar XK or the fierce snarl of the new XFR-S, you'd best enjoy it while you can. Jaguar has said that the pressure of meeting future emissions regulations could rule out a future for its V-8 engines, and the British automaker is already exploring alternatives for future performance models. According to Drive, that means more focus on the recently-introduced supercharged V-6 engines, but may also mean electric assistance for its most powerful models. V-8s have been the basis of Jaguar's performance models for the last few decades, and are currently found...

Jaguar F-Type Coupe May Cost More Than Convertible: ReportIn the automotive world, coupes traditionally cost less than their convertible equivalents, which makes sense since the cost to engineer and install a fixed roof on a car is almost always less than it is for a convertible top.

Jaguar’s stunning XF Sportbrake is about to spawn an XFR-S performance variant and we have our first spy shots of a prototype testing at the Nürburgring. The XF Sportbrake is essentially the wagon version of the svelte XF and it boasts a usable 59 cubic feet of storage despite sharing a footprint with the sedan. The new XFR-S Sportbrake should be launched late in the year and come to the market with the same specification as the XFR-S sedan. This means a supercharged 5.0-liter V-8 will be spinning the rear wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission and limited-slip...

Though all of the historic open-road automobile races have now become exhibitions--if they haven't disappeared altogether--they do manage to recapture at least something of the look of the iconic originals. Jaguar's entry into this year's Mille Miglia is a perfect example of the experience, capturing the glory of the cars that once set world records and awed the world. Though many of those cars are now in better shape than they were even when new, the hand-painted driver names on the doors, the classic racing numbers, and, of course, the lines and sounds of the cars themselves, gives a sense...
