Can this really be the new XJ ?.
The NA XJ will have the new direct injected 5.0ltr V8 ( 380bhp ), and the XJR will have the same V8 with a supercharger (500+bhp ).Apparently Jaguar will unviel on the 09 of July this year.
The all new XJ - Jaguar

Have a look through this gallery peeps, a completely redesigned Murcielago is in there & i reckon you would notice the difference very quickly.Have a gander at the car before it too very sweet almost Z8 like.

The roadster i posted about is named the XE-Type, and Jaguar are apparently going to build it for the 50th anniversary of the E-Type.It's going to compete against the Z4 and the Boxster.Me preferably would like to see there new turboed straight six in there, and an all new V12 to be honest.

Looks nice, but doesn't look very Jag like, but then again nor did the XF.
To be honest I always liked the current model. Especially in black. Problem is no one bought one!

Yeah i know funny that Turbo2, i think the reason for this is some people thought it was old fashioned and the new 4x4's came on to the market with the new Mercs, BMW's & Lexus saloons etc.To be honest if Jaguar don't succeed with the new XJ, the offerings are down to three and i doubt that is enough.Also Plato tested the XJR & said that it doesn't handle ( too soft ), well the XJ12C is the same only people still buy them & they are what 35+ years old.I'm will Turbo2 the current face-lift is much more tasteful.

The first photo there Turbo2 posted is a silver XF not XJ.Jaguar hasn't released other pictures, they are just going to uncover the car at the London motorshow in July.What i would like to see is the current XJ with the supercharged 5.0ltr V8 battling against the M5 & kicking it's ugly *** all the way around the track.
