Jaguar XF Clay Model gets the Axe…Literally

All automakers create real-life size clay models of their upcoming production and concept models. Most of the times, once they have served their purpose, these prototypes are destroyed under secrecy.

In a eureka moment, Jaguar decided to make something out of the destruction of one of its older XF clay models by filming the designers and sculptors going primitively wild on the prototype and sharing the video with us.

Head past the break to take a look at it.

Jaguar Builds C-X16 Clay Model at Clerkenwell Design Week

As the official sponsor of the Clerkenwell Design Week that runs in London from May 22 to 24, Jaguar will have plenty to keep visitors entertained.

The highlight of the British firm's exhibition is the construction of a full size clay model of the C-X16 Concept sports coupe, with which Jaguar wants to divulge the artistry involved in sculpting cars.

1957 XKSS bought for hill climbs. The Brits mean racing uphill on twisty roads, not cross country without a road.

"Hillclimb" in England means racing up a curvy road to the top of a hill; the road is paved the whole way. It's not like an American hillclimb, straight up the side
Thanks Archie!

Meet Jaguar's New Nürburgring Taxi, the 503hp XJ Supersport V8

If you have strolled around the Nürburgring in BMW's famous 'Ring Taxi and are looking for something with a different flavor, you will be pleased to know that Jaguar has launched its own service.

The British marque's very first 'Ring cab is based on the latest long wheelbase XJ Supersport limo equipped with Sport and Speed Pack options. Power comes from a 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine that is good for 503hp (510PS) offering a top speed of 174mph (280km/h).

Jaguar Officially Confirms 5.0-liter Supercharged V8 for the F-Type Roadster

We first heard the rumors last week, but today, Jaguar confirmed plans to offer a 5.0-liter supercharged V8 alongside its new 3.0-liter supercharged V6 in the upcoming F-Type sports car.

We still do not know the performance specifications of the F-Type's force-fed V8, but it will likely be one or perhaps even both versions of the 5.0-liter unit offered by Jaguar.

While the British automaker has made no mention (yet) of any other powertrain being offered in the F-Type, Edmund's InsideLine is reporting that a "very reliable source" told them that the car will also be available with Jaguar's 5.0-liter V8.

The flagship XJ model is based exclusively on the long-wheelbase version and will be the first to be offered with Jaguar's new 3.0-litre V6 supercharged petrol engine producing 335hp (340PS).

The car can also be specified with Jaguar’s existing 5.0-litre V8 supercharged petrol engine, and its 3.0-litre V6 turbocharged diesel, with all engines linked to eight-speed automatic transmissions.

U Imagine: Jaguar C-X16 Rendered into the F-Type Roadster

After Jaguar itself admitted the relationship between the C-X16 Coupe Concept that was displayed at last year's Frankfurt motor show and the firm's upcoming F-Type roadster, it was only a matter of time before someone put their photoshop skills to work.

In our case, that someone happens to be a Carscoop reader that goes by the alias 'Plattform' in our comments section.

Watch and Hear Jaguar's Upcoming Two-Seater F-Type Roadster on the Road

As pointed out in the video by former F1 driver and commentator Martin Brundle, it's been a long time since Jaguar had a new two-seater sports car in its range – more than 50 years if you start counting from the presentation of the legendary E-Type in 1961, around 20 years if you take into consideration the limited production XJR-15 and XJ220 supercars.

Jaguar's new proposal goes by the name F-Type and it is based on last year's warmly received C-X16 concept coupe. Even though it will launch as a roadster model, a coupe will follow later on.

Jaguar Previews All-New F-Type Roadster Based on the C-X16 Study, Goes on Sale in 2013

Jaguar is moving like a cheetah with the development of its new sports car model that was teased at last year's Frankfurt Motor Show through the C-X16 Concept study.

Today, at the New York Auto Show, the company announced the production model will be called the F-Type and it will launch as a roadster in mid-2013. A coupe variant will most likely follow in 2014.

"We showed the C-X16 concept in September 2011, and the reaction to it has been so positive that we've accelerated our development of an all-new Jaguar sports car," commented Adrian Hallmark, Jaguar Global Brand Director.

Dutch Design Studio Converts Classic Jaguar XJ into a…Hanging Bookshelf!

We're all for classic cars with character being preserved and used on the road, but we’re going to admit that there's something cool about the idea of having a real life vehicle as a decorative piece in your house.

This is exactly what Dutch design studio Denieuwegeneratie did for one of its clients for a project called "Dutch Mountain".

The designers incorporated a classic Jaguar XJ (Series III, judging from the absence of the triangular windows on the front doors) into a room, by converting it into a…bookshelf and hanging it on the wall!

Jaguar-Land Rover Forms New Joint Venture with China's Chery Automobile

Tata Motor's Jaguar-Land Rover premium division has signed a joint venture deal with Chery Automobile to sell cars in its home market of China. The agreement, however, is not final, as it has to be approved by China's regulators.

Just last December, China's National Reform and Development Commission (NRDC) and the Ministry of Commerce said that they would stop encouraging foreign investment in the car manufacturing industry to allow for “healthy development” of a market.

Jaguar Shows More Versatile but Equally Stylish XF Sportbrake in Geneva

If you live in Europe and are interested in an executive station wagon, you will soon be able to add one more vehicle to your shopping list as Jaguar is attempting to draw customers away from the Audi A6 Avant, BMW 5-Series Touring and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class Estate with its new XF Sportbrake.

Jaguar's second ever estate model is based on the XF sedan riding on the same wheelbase but it adds 48mm of rear headroom for the rear passengers while there's also 550-liter of boot space with the seats up and 1,675 liters when they're lying flat.

a '59 Jag that he paid 900 for, but wants to make 200 mph with. He ran it at Maxton, and got 195, but will try again

9.89 at 137 mph in the quarter-mile,
At the '11 ECTA meet at Maxton, Kris ran 195 mph naturally aspirated, and 195 in AA/Fuel Super Street, he ended up winning HOT ROD jackets for earning the highest speeds in both the Real Street and Super Street classes, something that had never been done before.
