Here are some of the first spy shots available of the upcoming 2013 Jaguar XE - the British marque's new baby sports model.This prototype mule is riding on a shortened chassis and body from the XK. The XE will be offered as both a coupe and cabriolet model, and it's a cabrio we've spotted here today.

Details are still sketchy on the XE, but we expect it to be a two-seater and priced competitively with the Porsche 911, the model it aims to compete against. Given the long Jag nose, it will sport a mid-front engine mounting for performance handling.

The XE is also expected to be fitted with a V6 engine in at least two configurations, one naturally-aspirated and one supercharged. Output levels will be competitive with Cayman and 911 models

According to Car Magazine, the British brand is working on the 2013 Jaguar XE - a new coupe and roadster line-up that will fall in the same market segment as the Porsche Boxter and Cayman. The new 2013 Jaguar XE is part of a new company strategy that aims to transform it into the British Porsche. The 2013 Jaguar XE price should fall in the 60,000 Euros range.

The 2013 Jaguar XE will have a new lightweight architecture and although it will fight Porsche, it will have a front-engine platform with rear-wheel-drive.

The power of the 2013 Jaguar XE is expected to come from a supercharged V6 engine developing around 350 hp or a naturally aspirated one with 270 hp.

The 2013 Jaguar XE is expected to spawn a 2013 Jaguar XER version in two years time after the launch of the base model.
