  • 2013 Jaguar XE Coupe test mule spy shots

    The Frankfurt Auto Show brought us many new concepts and previews of production vehicles, but few were as stunning and successful as the C-X16 Concept. The C-X16 is widely thought to preview the upcoming production XE, captured in these spy shots in coupe form. Earlier this summer we brought you the first spy shots of the XE, then in roadster guise.
