Jaguar has launched a new ultra-luxurious version of its XJ flagship sedan at the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, adopting the ‘Ultimate’ tag last used on the Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition from Land Rover last year. Based on the long-wheelbase XJ, the ichanges applied to the XJ Ultimate Edition focus on the rear accommodation and provide passengers with the kind of luxury appointments they’d find in a private jet. A full-length, leather-trimmed centre console separates the two individually tailored rear seats which feature power adjustment, ventilation, massage and...

Jaguar Heritage Racing launches, factory-backed C- and D-Type racing imminentFor those that feared the worst for Jaguar's Heritage operations after news last month that the Heritage Museum would be shutting down this fall, it appears the division is merely shifting its focus: now on to racing. Well, historic racing, to be precise. The new Jaguar Heritage Racing program will...

Jaguar’s Jet-Powered C-X75 To Be Track Car Only: ReportIn 2010 Jaguar unveiled a stunning new supercar concept called the C-X75, which was powered by an advanced range-extended electric drivetrain that relied on a pair of gas-powered ‘microturbines’ to top up the vehicle’s batteries. Then, early last year, Jaguar gave its C-X75 the...

We can’t get enough of Jaguar’s new XF Sportbrake but sadly, we’ll have to learn to appreciate it from afar as Jaguar has no plans to launch its svelte wagon in the U.S. Despite the previous X-Type wagon selling locally, the new XF Sportbrake won’t due to differences in government regulations between the U.S. and Europe. Low expected volumes for the XF Sportbrake meant Jaguar wasn’t willing to invest in making the car’s bumper designs and engines meet U.S. certification, according to The New York Times. For other markets, the XF Sportbrake will be available...

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake Live Photos: 2012 Geneva Motor ShowJaguar and Geneva have always had a special connection, ever since the now-famous E-Type was launched at the show back in 1961. The XF Sportbrake isn't as glamorous as an E-Type but Jaguar's wagon is still a sophisticated beast, and we grabbed some live photos of it on the show floor. The...

2012 Jaguar XFR: Quick DriveIt takes a degree of self-control to drive not one, but two diesel examples of Jaguar's XF, before finally getting behind the wheel of the high-performance XFR.

"Grace... Space... Pace". Three words that Jaguar used to describe its luxury sedans and coupes back in the 1960s, and three words by which Jaguars have been held to account ever since. That slogan raises questions when a car like the 2012 Jaguar XKR-S springs from the company's gates. Will it be a true Jaguar? And faced with the rest of Jaguar's range to compare it to at a recent event in Warwickshire, England, Jaguar's fastest car since the XJ220 supercar has a lot of grace, space and pace to live up to. It succeeds, but cautiously so. Pace It would be easy to become overwhelmed by the...

Jaguar Considering Track-Focused XKR-S: ReportTo most, the 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S is about as hardcore as you’d ever want a Jaguar to be. However, for the buyer that likes to take his car to a track, race it, and then drive home again, even the XKR-S may not be focused enough. This has got management at Jaguar wondering if they...

If you love cars with a little bit of history, then you’re going to love this 1993 Jaguar XJ220S that’s going up for sale at an RM Auctions event taking place in Arizona this week. We’re sure you’ve heard of the XJ220 before, Jaguar’s V-6 behemoth from the early ‘90s which at one point was the fastest production car on the planet. Well, going under the hammer this week is an ever rarer XJ220S, one of only six ever built, and composed mostly of carbon fiber! That’s right. While the regular XJ220s all featured aluminum bodies, Jaguar had Tom Walkinshaw...

Jaguar XJ Gets More Executive Thanks To StartechIt's always nice to see a logical tune. Let the stripped-down, two-seat super-coupes get 1,000-horsepower engines and gaudy carbon fiber body kits, luxury cars are about elegance, comfort, and of course, making the money needed to buy them. Instead of focusing all its attention on the engine bay or...
