The Jaguar C-X75 concept is both a celebration of 75 years of iconic Jaguar design and a look into the future of automotive technology. Designed as a range-extended electric two-seater supercar, Jaguar C-X75 explores the outer limits of both performance and sustainability. With plug-in capability Jaguar C-X75 can achieve a zero tailpipe emissions range of 110km (68 miles) – three times round Paris’s Péripherique – when running under battery power alone, plus a potential top speed of 330km/h (205mph) and blistering acceleration.

A sensational JET-ENGINED supercar concept from Jaguar, C-X75 has a top speed of 205 mph and accelerate 0-62 mph in just 3,4 seconds, making it the fastest ever electric road car.C-X75 uses a bonded aluminium chassis together with aluminium panels keeping weight down to just 1,350 kg, and uses four electric motors-one at each wheel-powered by Lihtium batteries, each producing 195 bhp, giving a maximum 780 bhp and a heart-busting 1,180 lb.-ft of pulling power.

The Jaguar C-X75’s 580kW propulsion system combines powerful 145kW (195bhp) electric motors at each wheel for outstanding performance. At the centre of the car sit state-of-the-art, mid-mounted micro gas-turbines. These can either generate 140kW (188bhp) to charge the batteries and extend the range of the car to 900km (560 miles) or when in Track mode provide supplementary power directly to the electric motors. The four electric motors provide torque-vectored, all-wheel drive traction and grip, essential in a car that produces 580kW (778bhp) and 1600Nm (1180lb ft) of torque.

Finished in Jetstream Silver, the Jaguar C-X75 boasts advanced design features such as a ground-breaking propulsion system, and active aerodynamics allow for an elegantly simple fuselage section that remains stable at very high speeds.

2011 Jaguar F Type

The 2011 Jaguar F-Type will be a lightweight sports car designed to rival competitive products, such as the Porsche 911. Tata is planning to use new introductions like the F-Type to break from the Ford mold, Jaguar’s former owner. The new owner believes Jaguar must invest in image products, such as the F-Type, to keep the luxury brand on top of its competition.

The F-Type concept has been around for a long time. Jaguar originally introduced it as a concept car in 2000 when the company was owned by Ford. However, Jaguar never pursued production of the vehicle. Instead, the company concentrated on more mainstream products such as the S-Type and X-Type. Ford preferred to concentrate on mainstream products instead of image products such as the F-Type

Now, it seems Jaguar and its new owner may be launching the new F-Type at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show – which, by the way, is also the 50th anniversary of the iconic E-Type. If this unveiling does happen, it would be a treat for Jaguar lovers who have wanted a direct replacement for the E-Type for far too long. It would also signal a move the Jaguar’s new owners are committed to changing the strategy at Jaguar.

The 2011 Jaguar F Type is expected to be a front engine, rear drive sports car that will be priced similar to the Porsche 911. It is expected to use a version of the 3.0L Duratec engine. The styling will likely differ from the original 2000 concept car. Design cues will probably be taken from more recent Jags such as the XF and XJ. And, there is even speculation about a new name. Tata may use and XD badge instead of F-Type.

Jaguar revealed today the official details of its new XKR 75, a new car that celebrates firm‚ 75th anniversary which will be unveiled at the the Goodwood Festival of Speed on July 2. What makes this car so special? Well, first of all the car received a power boost of 20 PS and now carries a total output of 530 PS and 655Nm (compared to 625Nm on XKR). With these numbers, the car can accelerate from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.4 seconds (with 0.2 seconds faster than the XKR) and has a top speed which is electronically limited to 174mph (280km/h).

The Jaguar XKR 75 also features a revised suspension as well as handling in order to increase the precision and agility. At the exterior we find a revised aerodynamic body kit which includes a splitter, side sills extensions, a rear diffuser and larger rear spoiler in order to increase balance and the reduction in lift. “We conceived the XR 75 as a sports car with a duality of character that makes it perfectly suited to driving across Europe to the Nurburgring, completing some very fast laps, and then driving home again” said Mike Cross, Chief Engineer Vehicle Integrity.

The new vehicle features a new Stratus Grey finish and its design is completed by the 20-inch gloss Vortex forged lightweight alloy wheels with a dark technical finish and diamond turn . The red brake calipers provide an unique contrast. Inside, the car features Charcoal with ivory stitch, piano black finish to facia and centre console and a Jet suedecloth headlining. The Jaguar XKR 75 will be produced in a limited edition of just 75 vehicles, each priced from £85,500 OTR and will be available to order from July 2010 while deliveries are set to start in October. 2011 Jaguar XKR 75 2011 Jaguar XKR 75 2011 Jaguar XKR 75 2011 Jaguar XKR 75

2011 Jaguar XJ

XJ nameplate; the driving experience follows up on the promise. It's true that the previous XJ had an aluminum body and roughly the same chassis architecture, so you could argue this is little more than a reskin and a repowering. But in the first few yards, you realize it represents a comprehensive rethink of what a large Jaguar luxury sedan should be.

It's shifting away from the S-Class or A8 or 7 Series. The XJ feels distinctly sportier. The ride is no longer the waft it was with the old XJ. The V-8 isn't intended to be silent. The steering is quick, the cornering agile. The design isn't meant to communicate formality or businesslike status: It's about panache and extroversion and a bit of fun. Just look at that interior. The most stylish cabin in the world today? I wouldn't disagree.

And as to the exterior: Well, as we drive through Paris, a city where people know about style, they stop and point and stare in amazement. Driving through the countryside north of that great city, where the traffic-free rural roads roads are alternately open and sweeping or twisty and bumpy, your reporter is continually amazed too-at the numbers being passed by the speedometer needle.

That is the achievement of the new XJ. Other big sedans use a wider array of active chassis technologies than the Jaguar does; it does without 4WD or 4WS or active steering or active anti-roll. But when the others hunker into their sport modes, they tend to lose fluency. They take every opportunity to remind you what a task it is to make an elephant dance. The XJ is different. It feels remarkably unflustered and natural.

1956 JAGUAR MK1

1956 JAGUAR MK1

1956 JAGUAR MK1

1956 JAGUAR MK1

Introduced at the October 1955 Earl's Court Motor Show, the MKI 2.4 litre was intended to broaden Jaguar's appeal beyond the volatile luxury and sportscar market sectors. Notable as the Coventry manufacturer's first monocoque design, it was equipped with independent coil and wishbone front suspension, a Panhard rod-located leaf-sprung back axle and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes (though, vacuum assisted discs soon became optional).

SPECIFICATION:The old 2.4 and 3.4 engines were carried over to the newer model with the 2.4 getting a power hike to 120 bhp, but now there was a new top spec engine. The 3.8-litre used in the XK150 the year before was now put in to the Jaguar 3.8 Mkll and was rated at 220 bhp. Prices for the 3.8 started at just below £1,800 in the UK and it had virtually no competition. With a top speed of 125 mph and 0-60 mph in 8.5 seconds the 3.8 is one of the cars that established Jaguars reputation for elegant performance. With 0-100 mph in 25.1 seconds the Jaguar was fast for its day in standard and there were plenty of people willing to improve upon those figures for money. And one of the best known was John Coombs, a Jaguar dealer from Guildford in Surrey.

DESIGN:Finished in Pearl Grey with red leather upholstery, it is variously described by the vendor as being in "very good" (four-speed manual gearbox, interior trim) or "excellent" (engine, electrical equipment, chassis, bodywork, paintwork, wheels / tyres) condition. Further vaunted as what "must be one of the best examples of a genuinely original MKI", the Jaguar is believed to have covered just 36,873 miles by the time it entered the current (second) ownership in January 2000. Documented via a series of MOT certificates, the four-door saloon has only added a further 5,000 miles to its odometer reading during the intervening seven years. To the best of the seller's knowledge, 'KHE 425' has been "garaged from new". Riding on correct type steel wheels, the MKI is thought to pleasingly retain its original upholstery, carpets, valve radio and cast-iron grille.

1954 Jaguar XK SS

1954 Jaguar XK SS

INTRODUCTION:The job of making racing D-Type into roadgoing XK-SS was done as thoroughly as possible within the constraints inevitable when starting with a purpose-built machine.

HIGHLIGHTS:Jaguar relied on the XK engine, but some modifications were made to limit frontal area. The sump was halved in height by switching from wet to dry-sump lubrication. The engine was also mounted at an 8-degree angle, with the off-centre bump in the engine-cover as a result. Mechanically, the only difference between the 1954 and 1955 works cars was the use of larger valves on the latter. Extra space was required to house the larger valves. Frontal area was not sacrificed as the 1955 works D-Types were the first Jaguars to use an asymmetrical head that would come to be known as the '35/40 head'. The intake valves were mounted at 35 degrees, whereas the exhaust valves were mounted at 40 degrees.

SPECIFICATIONS:Rule changes, limiting the displacement to 3 litres, left the D-Types pretty much obsolete for 1958. Jaguar did supply a three litre version of the XK-engine, but it was no match for the competition. Dozens of short-nose production D-Types were sold to privateers, which successfully campaigned them on both sides of the Atlantic. To get rid of the remaining chassis, Jaguar equipped them for road use and sold them as the XKSS model. After only sixteen examples were produced a fire in the factory abruptly ended the run. With three Le Mans wins, the Jaguar D-Type remains as one of the most successful racing cars ever. In both road going XKSS and racing D-Type guise, it is also one of the most desirable Jaguar models.

DESIGN:XKSS Jaguars constructed. It was delivered new to the United States and when was purchased off its first owner by actor / racing driver Steve McQueen in the 1960s. At one point he had legendary artist Von Dutch customize the interior. He used it both on the road and on the track before selling to William Harrah at the end of the decade. He missed the stylish Jaguar so much that he bought it back a few years later and kept it until his untimely death in 1984. Today it's part of the Petersen Museum Collection and is seen here receiving the 'best of show' award during the 2006 Quail, a Motorsports Gathering.

1954 Jaguar XK140

1954 Jaguar XK140

1954 Jaguar XK140

INTRODUCTION:Jaguar, and its founder, William Lyons, wanted to add more prestige to the company. Begining with the development of the XK engine, a trend towards manufacturing more exciting sports cars would fulfill these desires and the XK series would launch Jaguar into it's best years.

SPECIFICATIONS:XK legacy didn't end with XK120 roadster. Later competition cars with XK engines won Le Mans outright in 1953, 55, 56 and 57. Throughout this victorious period, Jaguar upgraded the XK120 to XK140 specification, including more powerful engines and larger interior spaces. This culminated with the XK150, which reached 265 bhp in top form.

Jaguar, Italian Style.

• Of all the XK-powered Jaguars, very few received custom coachwork, and even less were bodied in Italy. However, Italian dealer Guido Modiano commissioned Zagato to rebody one of his bent XK140s. During the build, Zagato was ordered to build the car to high standards which was reflected by it's fully suede interior. Even in the Ferrari 250 Zagatos, from which this Jaguar lends some traits, suede was never ordered.
• Zagato's final form was so striking, Modiano decided to showcase his 'XKZ' at the 1957 Paris Auto
• Salon. Afterwards a brochure was made up for Zagato XK150 conversions of which one car was completed and shown at the 1958 Geneva Auto Show. Unfortunately, the second car marked the end of the project, and within the coming years both Anglo-Italian Jags were lost, one never to return.

1949 Jaguar XK120 Alloy

INTRODUCTION:After we’ve shown you all the latest luxury vehicles that can be added in your garage, we’re going to look back and admire one of the hottest vintage cars that still exist today. Set to be auctioned on Amelia Island this coming March, this classic 1949 Jaguar XK120 Alloy is the only model which is toned in Blue Sheen paint. It has undergone a complete restoration and has set a new record in the JCNA Slalom.

HIGHLIGHTS: XK 120 was first shipped to the United States’ West Coast, where it was campaigned in a number of amateur sports car races at Monterey and Santa Barbara. It then served for a time as a dirt-track racer, fitted with an American V8 engine when its original gave out. In poor condition, it returned to England for a full restoration by John May of XK Development at Homesdown Farms, Fiddington.

SPECIFICATIONS:::The first 244 XK 120s—including the car on offer here—were clad entirely in aluminum. In period, these represented the best of the best, with their advantageous power-to-weight ratio courtesy of the alloy body and the highly tunable, dual-overhead-cam XK engine. This engine was used in production Jaguarsin successive stages of development through 1987.

The car has been prepared according to the Historic Sports Car Club rules, with respect to the spirit of 1950s-era racing. The drum brakes
have been kept, as has the steering box (which has been displaced to the right side). Even the lever-arm shocks have been kept at the rear. The engine has been tuned with specific camshafts, 9:1 compression ratio, a C-type head, and SU HD8 carbs, and the Moss gearbox is of the close-ratio type.

1939 jaguar SS 2.5-Liter Mark IV

INTRODUCTION:Jaguar's first postwar model, the three-position drophead coupe was distinctive, captivating and extravagant. Extremely rare today, the MK IV was an extremely desirable vehicle and one of the few postwar cars that is considered a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America.
HIGHLIGHTS:When SS Cars Ltd. introduced the SS 100 Jaguar Sports car in 1935, it popularized a name that the company itself would adopt after World War II. In 1938, the firm added a DHC (Drophead coupe - convertible) version. Built on a 120-inch wheelbase, this convertible had a new crossbraced frame and pressed steel body. It was much admired for its gracefully curved front fenders, which flowed into the running boards. The luxurious interior included a dashboard in French walnut and doors and seats upholstered in Vaumol leather. A padded case inside the trunk lid held a complete tool set.
SPECIFICATION:

• A total of 5,761 1.5 liter Jaguar Mark IV's were produced, 1,861 2.5 liters and 4,420 of the 3.5 liter models. The Mark IV featured a wheelbase of 112.5 inches, an overall length of 173.0 inches, and had a weight of 2,970 lbs.
• Pronounced Mark Four, the Jaguar Mark IV was a saloon vehicle built by Jaguar from 1945 through 1945, and was a re-launch of a pre WWII model produced by SS Car Ltd from 1936.The company was renamed Jaguar Cars Ltd. after the war. The nomenclature ‘Mark IV' was applied by the trade to simply differentiate it from the officially named Mark V. The Saloons were named SS Jaguar 1 ½ litre, 2 ½ liter or 3 ½ liter. The little two seater sports vehicle was called the SS Jaguar 100 2 ½ liter or 3 ½ liter.

Jaguar SS 100

Introduction:The SS 100 was designed by Sir William Lyons.The SS-100 was a lot of sports car for the money, yet only 116 of the 3.5 litre version and 198 of the 2.5 litre version were produced from 1936 to 1938.The SS100 was built between 1936 and 1940 by SS Cars Ltd of Coventry, England. The last one is though to have been delivered in 1941. In 1936 the name Jaguar was given to a new Saloon car and from then on to all the cars. Following the war, due to the connotations then attached to the initials SS, the company was renamed 'Jaguar'.

Specifications:Built on a 102-inch wheelbase, this car is powered by a 3.5 litre overhead valve, six cylinder engine that sports dual SU carburetors. The horsepower was rated at 125 at 4,350 rpm.'The Autocar' magazine reported the new 2.5-liter (20 Royal Automobile Club horsepower rating) car, with the windscreen lowered, to have a maximum speed of 95 mph and a zero-to-sixty mph time of 13.5 seconds. With the 3.5-liter (25 RAC hp rating) the top speed reached the magic 100 mph with a best of 101 mph over the quarter mile and the 0-60 mph coming down to 10.4 seconds.

Comparison:The SS100 had a similar underslung chassis similar to the SS90. The wheelbase measured 104 inches. Under the hood was a Standard six-cylinder engine with a new overhead valve design with aluminum pistons, augmented by a robust bottom end and seven main bears. With the help of two SU carburetors, the engine was capable of producing just over 100 horsepower at 4500RPM, compared to 68 horsepower.

Conclusion: This car, which came to be known as 'Old Number 8' was run very successfully at the Brooklands circuit by Wisdom and in the Shelsley Walsh hillclimb by Coventry garage and theatre owner, Sammy Newsome. A year later a team of three cars was entered by the factory in the RAC Rally, the premier rally event in Britain. The team, which included the Hon. Brian Lewis (later Lord Essendon) took the Manufacturer's Team Prize but outright success eluded them. Instead the event was won by a privately entered SS 100! A new, enlarged 31/2 litre engine had been developed and tested in 'Old Number 8'.

The Jaguar SS1 was produced from 1934 through 1936. These were a further evolution of William Lyons' Swallow coach-built bodies that had been used on various types of chassis during the late 1920s. Morris, Fiat, Austin, and Standard were a few of the automakers that commissioned the Swallow bodies.
The origination of the SS letters designated by Jaguar founder Sir William Lyons, has always been controversial. As his original firm was known as the 'Swallow Sidecar Company', that seems a logical explanation. The SS-100, was the first in a long line of high performance production cars that looked as fast as they went. They were one of the first cars to bear the Jaguar name, although at the time it was just a nameplate; it wouldn't become the corporation's umbrella brand name until after World War II.

The SS100 had a similar underslung chassis similar to the SS90. The wheelbase measured 104 inches. Under the hood was a Standard six-cylinder engine with a new overhead valve design with aluminum pistons, augmented by a robust bottom end and seven main bears. With the help of two SU carburetors, the engine was capable of producing just over 100 horsepower at 4500RPM, compared to 68 horsepower.

The engine was fitted to a four-speed gearbox with synchromesh engagement in the top three gears. 15-inch Girling aluminum drum brakes were rod-actuated and brought the 18-inch center-lock Dunlop racing wheels to a stop. The suspension was typical for the period, with semi-elliptic leaf springs at all four corners.
The SS100 soon earned a reputation for its performance and handling characteristics. Along with performance, the car had rakish good looks. The '100' in its name was supposed to represent its top speed, but in testing the car did not achieve this figure. Its top speed was close, at 95 mph. Zero-to-sixty was achieved at about 12 to 14 seconds.

Horsepower rose from 102 to 125 horsepower. A new transmission, driveshaft, and differential were added. The result was a zero-to-sixty time in just over 10 seconds and finally capable of topping the 100 mph barrier.
This is all about 1935 Jaguar SS1. I hope you like it.

The SS90 was the first true sports car produced by Jaguar.There were only 23 examples produced before the SS 100 was built.

This S.S. 90 prototype was built by William Lyons at the soon-to-be-renamed Jaguar factory as an experimental short wheelbase model with a standard in-line 2.6-liter, 6-cylinder engine producing around 90 bhp. The shortened chassis is based on a modified SS1 design. Production of the S.S. 90 started in 1935 adn around 25 cars were built before the appearance of the much more successful SS100 Jaguar. This prototype is easily distinguished by its sweeping rear bodywork, which was shortened for production. This car made its first appearance in the hands of Brian Lewis at the RAC Rally in 1935. It later appeared at the 1935 Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb. In 1938, it was owned by Hugh Kennard, a serving RAF Spitfire pilot stationed at Duxford, north of London during the Second World War. After several owners the car was bought by its current owner who had it restored.

This is all about Jaguar SS90 produced in 1935 as the first true sports car.
