Jaguar Says Bertone B99 Concept Is: “Not For Us”It was one of the big surprises of last week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show, the Jaguar B99 sedan concept that had nothing do with Jaguar whatsoever. What makes the concept’s gestation even more surprising was that it was developed by financial stricken Italian design house Stile Bertone, a...

Video: The Jaguar XKR-S In ActionThe Jaguar XKR-S is one sexy beast. All of the refinement of the standard XK, with the sport and race additions of the R and, now, S, appendages. Fresh from its debut in Geneva, the XKR-S struts its stuff in the video below. No, it's not the fastest, best value, most outrageous, or even the most...

2012 Jaguar XKR-S Live Photos: 2011 Geneva Motor ShowJaguar may be celebrating 50 years of its iconic E-Type at this week’s 2011 Geneva Motor Show but that hasn’t stopped the automaker from rolling out a very special version of its equally stunning XKR.

Jaguar To Unveil XKR-S At Geneva Show"Legendary" is a word that's thrown about with abandon these days, but it's an apt description of the Jaguar E-Type. For decades it has been the embodiment of Jaguar itself: Bold, sleek, sexy, fast, powerful. Its influence is still felt today, in the fastback shape of dozens of different...

Billed as the "most potent series production" Jaguar ever, the XKR-S is staged for a debut at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show. The XKR-S leverages a 542-horsepower supercharged V-8 engine to rocket to a top speed of 186 mph, hitting 60 mph in 4.2 seconds and 100 mph in 8.6 seconds along the way. If those numbers sound a bit less than massively impressive in an era of 250+ mph supercars and sub-3-second 0-60 mph times, that's fair enough, but those cars aren't Jaguars. At least, that's what Jaguar has to be hoping you'll think, as the XKR-S, like the just-revealed Aston Martin Virage, seeks to meld...

Jaguar's new XF and XJ sedans have made waves in sport-luxury seas, bringing a newer, fresher face to what was once a bit of a stodgy lineup. Now it looks like Jaguar may be planning even more boat-rocking, with several new models in the pipeline including a sports car, a BMW 3-Series rival and an estate wagon. However, the list of new model additions may not end just there. The hope is that Jaguar will be able to triple its sales to around 750,000 vehicles by 2018, but to do so it will need a much fuller lineup of vehicles. With a new management team on board, including new brand manager...

Perhaps it...

Jaguar Working On Crossover SUV? Why?!A Jaguar crossover/SUV? Isn't that what Land Rover is for? Apparently not, according to a new report out today. Instead, Jaguar may go its own way into the crossover market and "stop being a saloon-based company," according to Jag's global brand director Adrian Hallmark. Hallmark, recently poached...

Jaguar has issued a recall on all 2010 and 2011 model year XJ sedans due to an issue with their windshield wipers. The problem poses no immediate threat to passengers and subsequently the recall is only scheduled to begin on December 13, though this may be pushed to an earlier date. According to Jaguar, the recall affects all 2010 and 2011 Jaguar XJ sedans manufactured from July 28, 2009 through to November 3 of this year. Essentially, the front windshield wiper arms’ spindle fixings were not torqued to the correct specification during manufacture. As a result, the securing nuts could...

More Concept-To-Production Speculation: Jaguar C-X75It used to be that concept cars were just that: concepts. Ideas about what cars could be, what they might be like at some indeterminate point in the future. Then sometime not too long ago, the term "concept" began finding its way onto cars that were essentially pre-production examples of cars...
