Jaguar has been <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/06/28/video-jaguar-extols-the-glory-of-aluminum/">touting</a> the aluminum-intensive construction of the XJ sedan since the previous-generation model was introduced back in 2003. According to the automaker, the use of aluminum in lieu of steel can lead to an impressive 40 percent reduction in weight. That's bound to have positive effects on driving dynamics, performance and efficiency.<br />
<br />
With its <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/09/2010-jaguar-xj-we-get-hands-on-with-coventrys-new-big-cat/">latest redesign</a>, Jaguar claims to have improved its aluminum architecture even further, so it's not surprising that the company plans to extend the technology to the rest of its line. According to Ratan Tata, chairman of the company that now owns Jaguar Land Rover, "JLR is planning to have all its future cars constructed with light weight aluminum bodies resulting in considerable savings in weight, and reduction in CO<sub>2</sub> emissions."<br />
<br />
To go along with their new diets, Jaguar and Land Rover are known to be experimenting with hybrid powertrains. A <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/04/24/sae-2009-torotrak-mechanical-flywheel-kers-likely-coming-to-ne/">kinetic energy recovery system</a> may be in the cards for the <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/04/12/jaguar-to-build-extended-range-ev-version-of-new-xj-in-2011/">XJ line in 2011</a> while Land Rover has been working on an <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2008/07/22/london-2008-land-rover-intros-new-green-technology/">Electric Rear Axle Drive</a> that could debut in the upcoming <a href="http://www.autobloggreen.com/2009/06/25/report-compact-hybrid-range-rover-lrx-gets-go-ahead/">LRX compact Range Rover</a>.<br />

<div align="center"><small style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">2010 Jaguar XKR Goodwood Special - Click above for high-res image gallery</small><br /></div>
<br />With its aggressive stance, classic lines and deep-throated growl, it'd take a really breathtaking array of exotic machinery to let a car like the Jaguar XKR go by unnoticed. Unfortunately for Jaguar, that's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/06/goodwood-festival-of-speed-2009-mega-gallery/">exactly what rolls up Lord March's lawn</a> every summer for the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The stoic British marque has a long history of participation in the event, and came this year with its 225mph XFR and a host of rare classics. But apparently eager to make its mark, Jaguar turned up with a <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/06/30/jaguar-officially-announces-xkr-goodwood-special-in-lime-gree/">special-edition XKR</a>, painting it a retina-burning shade of lime green with orange decals, just to make sure it got noticed.<br /><br />The Goodwood Special upgrades the stock XKR with a lowered suspension, retuned exhaust, 21-inch alloys and satin graphite trim replacing the chrome. But the real treat is under the hood, where Coventry's finest have squeezed out a further twenty ponies from the supercharged 5.0-liter V8 for a total of 530 horsepower and 515 lb-ft of torque. Considering that the (anything but) ordinary 510 hp version rockets to 60 mph in just 4.6 seconds, the extra power promises to take the sport coupe into even more rarified territory. Unfortunately for the time being the Goodwood Special remains a one-off, but Jaguar is reportedly keeping its ear to the ground for enough feedback to offer a limited production run.

<br />The thing about limited editions is that there are bound to be at least a few customers disappointed that they couldn't get their hands on one. That's the whole point, keeping demand higher than supply and thus ensuring a high price. So it's a little unusual to see an automaker or aftermarket supplier going back and reopening the supply lines, especially if the model in question has already been replaced. But that's exactly what British tuning house Arden has done with the AJ18.<br /><br />Based on the previous-generation XK, Arden debuted this limited-edition track-inspired Jag coupe nearly ten years ago at the 1999 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Frankfurt-Motor-Show/">Frankfurt Motor Show</a>, pegging production at just 13 units. A decade gone by, Arden has announced the availability of an additional five examples, bringing the total run up to 18 pieces. What sets the AJ18 apart from the stock XK8 is the carbon-composite aero kit, custom grilles and bumpers, narrow wing mirrors, giant rear wing and 20-inch Sportline rims hiding 370mm brake discs with 6-piston calipers mounted to a lowered Bilstein suspension. <br /><br />We'd just as soon go out and buy a new XK, dynamically superior as it is to its successor in just about every way, but if you've already got a previous-generation model in your driveway and still regret missing your chance to upgrade it to the Arden AJ18, this will probably be your last chance. Probably.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/06/arden-goes-back-to-future-with-jaguar.html">Carscoop</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/07/01/in-tune-with-the-past-arden-re-issues-limited-edition-aj18-xk/">In Tune With the Past: Arden re-issues limited-edition AJ18 XK</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 01 Jul 2009 18:20:00 EST.

<br />Performance and efficiency. These are the two cardinal attributes that all car designers are aiming for these days, and Jaguar is no different. For the last few years, the automaker's latest XK has relied heavily on its riveted and bonded aluminum-intensive architecture to achieve low weight, which is the first necessity for sporting credentials. For 2010, Jaguar is taking that successful formula and adding lots more power via an enlarged version of its AJ V8 engine. Direct injection, variable valve timing and a variable-geometry intake manifold all conspire to increase power to 510 hp while also having the desirable effect of improving fuel efficiency. Of course, an impressive engine is only a small part of the overall desirability of a new car, and Jaguar claims to have given its XK line, available in both a Portfolio model and uplevel R-model for the 2010 model year, a thorough freshening. So, what are they on about? Plenty, it seems.

Although this new sedan will eventually replace the XJ in the company's lineup, it is said to be radically different from the traditional sedan. Imagine XF detailing on a four-door XK and you won't be far off from the vehicle that's due to show up later this year. <br /><br />No official details have been reported, but Jaguar officials are apparently mentioning the Porsche Panamera, Maserati Quattroporte, Aston Martin Rapide and Mercedes-Benz CLS as competition. Engine options will likely include <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/29/jaguar-upgrades-xf-diesel-in-europe-443-lb-ft-and-35-mpg/">Jaguar's new 3.0L V6 diesel</a> as well as the new direct-injection, 5.0L gas V8s in naturally aspirated or supercharged form. The car should be revealed later this year, making 2009 a very busy year for the company. Jaguar is already set to unveil the supercharged <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/03/spy-shots-jaguar-xf-r-bares-more-teeth/">XF-R</a>, as well as updated <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/04/jaguar-updates-the-2009-xj/">XJ</a>, XK and XKR models, along with its new V8 and V6 diesel engines at the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/DetroitAutoShow/">Detroit Auto Show</a> next week.

The new XK, long due for a serious refresh, will show up in 2009 with the minor addition of the JaguarDrive selector a la XF and the major addition of a diesel engine to boost fuel economy and sales, along with two new V8s. <br /><br />Since Jaguar's 2.7-liter V6, which puts out 204 hp and 320 lb-ft., is only getting bored out to 3.0 liters it probably won't match the numbers put up by BMW's 3.5-liter, at 286 hp and 427 lb-ft. But the larger lump should goose the horsepower number and seriously increase torque (we hope) at least to the level of Audi's 3.0-liter V6 diesel, which turns out 240 hp and 369 lb-ft.<br /><br />If diesel economy and pump prices still don't register with you, there will still be two gas options to fuel the fires. The 4.2-liter V8 goes away to make room for the new 5.0-liter with 400 hp, and if you want whipped cream and cherries on top, hit Jaguar up for the supercharged XK-R with 500 hp.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://www.carmagazine.co.uk/Secret-new-cars/Search-Results/Spyshots/Jaguar-readies-new-diesel-XK-sports-car/">CAR</a>]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/12/01/spy-shots-jaguar-xk-diesel-under-development/">Spy Shots: Jaguar XK diesel under development</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 01 Dec 2008 09:35:00 EST.

The highly-tuned 420-hp Jaguar XKR-S sports coupe features stiffer springs, firmer dampers, thicker anti-roll bars, quickened steering, and lighter forged 20-inch alloy wheels wrapped in performance rubber. Aerodynamic changes, including a new rear spoiler, reduce lift up front by 60 percent, and 17 percent at the rear, while overall drag drops by three percent. The supercharged V8 is unchanged. Limited to a run of just 200 cars, Jaguar North America doesn't feel it can run head-to-head with the likes of tuned Porsches and other sports cars in the States so the automaker is limiting sales to just Germany and Britain. What? You don't think we can handle it?<br /></p>

<p>When Jaguar launched the current-generation XK in all its feline ferocity, it reportedly promised that the car would only be offered with gasoline engines. But that was a couple of years ago, around the same time that Audi began to dominate Le Mans racing with its R10 TDI, when BMW put the 3-liter turbodiesel into the 6 Series, but more importantly, before the current fuel crunch made consumers reexamine the prospect of driving a diesel sportscar. </p>
<p>That's why reports now suggest that Jaguar is preparing a diesel version of the XK. Based on the 2.7-liter V6 turbodiesel used in its sedans, the XK is tipped to receive a more powerful 3-liter version with 250 hp - still short of the BMW 635d's 290, but still capable of returning over 30 mpg with torque to spare. Whether the diesel XK would make it to the American market remains doubtful, however.</p>

With so many other pots on the boil, like the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/02/spy-shots-jaguar-xf-r-mules-testing-in-death-valley/">XF-R</a> and the new <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/05/27/spy-shots-2010-jaguar-xj-interior-look-familiar/">XJ</a>, the XK-R is going the subtle route when it comes to changes. Up front, new intakes will be fitted under the headlights, while out back LED tail lights will be fitted in place of the standard units. One change we are most excited to hear about is the swap from a telescoping aerial to a shark fin on the deck lid. On the convertible, the raised aerial caused all kinds of wind noise, which, frankly, was unacceptable on a $100K car. Inside you'll find, ta-da, Jaguar Drive.

<p>The <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/07/06/in-the-autoblog-garage-2007-jaguar-xk-convertible/">Jaguar XK</a> may have been the subject of the aptly-named "Gorgeous" campaign, but the four-door <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/11/26/first-jaguar-xf-rolls-of-production-line/">XF</a> is set to take its turn in the limelight. Since it's due to hit dealer showrooms on March 1, the first TV commercials are invading both our airwaves and YouTube, as evidenced by the :30 spot after the jump. Jaguar's marketing hired guns opted for the typical fast cuts of sex on wheels mixed with good-looking people getting frisky over a soundtrack of "Hush" by <em>Deep Purple</em>. Good stuff. Let's hope it helps folks remember Jaguar's not dead. Thanks for the tip, Chad!</p>

He says one of his co-workers is "fanatical about his car," going so far as to park it in the "most remote corner of the garage." So, naturally, Scott and his office buddies just had to stick 14,000 Post-It-Notes on the <strike>XJ</strike> S-Type. <br /><br />Take note, if you want to pull off a sticky job like this yourself, get several friends to help, raid the office supply room, and plan for it to take a couple of hours.<br /><br />Scott says the owner of the car took the joke very well and was even able to drive home with most of the blocks on the car for his kids to see. And all you Jaguar fans shouldn't worry. Scott says no cats were harmed in the making of this practical joke.<br /><br />I wonder, though, if in the ever-escalating InPhonic practical joke war, the Jag owner will come back next week and Wite-Out Scott's Porsche. Or color a co-worker's white Eos with pink highlighters. Scott, keep us updated. We definitely want to know what happens next in the InPhonic garage. Anyone there drive an Enzo, by any chance?<br /><br />Many more photos after the jump, and even more at Scott's <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ableman/323244293/in/set-72157594421824427/">Flickr page</a>.<br /><br />Thanks to faithful reader, Spluch for the tip!<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/01/jaguar-xj-customized-with-14-000-post-it-notes/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Jaguar "customized" With 14,000 Post-It Notes</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2007/01/01/jaguar-xj-customized-with-14-000-post-it-notes/">Jaguar "customized" With 14,000 Post-It Notes</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Mon, 01 Jan 2007 12:01:00 EST.

And here's yet another trophy for those keeping track of all of them. CNET.com wants you to help decide their 2006 Tech Car of the Year Award winner. They've done the hard work and weeded out the really big turkeys to give you a list of some real dears.<br /><br />In early voting, the Lexus LS460 L, with its 19-speaker sound system, live traffic GPS and self-parking system is leading the other nine contenders. So what's it gonna be for you? Acura's RDX with voice commands? Audi's adaptive-suspension-equipped Q7? BMW's 335i with its adaptive cruise control and iDrive? Or are you more a Cadillac guy, voting for the Escalade with OnStar?<br /><br />See the other five contestants after the jump.<br /><br />[Source: <a href="http://reviews.cnet.com/4520-10846_7-6673053.html">CNET</a>]<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/vote-for-cnets-tech-car-of-the-year/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Vote for CNET's Tech Car of the Year</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/20/vote-for-cnets-tech-car-of-the-year/">Vote for CNET's Tech Car of the Year</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Wed, 20 Dec 2006 11:32:00 EST.

At the time, we were a bit surprised, but now that they've rated the Porsche 911 as the "Top Ultra-Performance Car," their gear-head cred may have just been confirmed.<br /><br />The vehicles tested in the performance arena included the Corvette Z06, Dodge Viper and the aforementioned 911. Those coupes, along with a BMW 650i, Cadillac XLR, Jaguar XK, Lexus SC430 and an M-B SL550, made up the magazine's first foray into the world of luxury sports cars.<br /><br />This inaugural exam of high-end motoring proved to be the most expensive yet for the magazine. As we're sure you're aware, C.R. doesn't accept any press vehicles for evaluation, so they purchase their test subjects on the open market, just as any other car buyer would. The total for all vehicles came in at over $650,000.<br /><br />The 911 was rated by C.R.'s wonks as "excellent" overall, just barely nudging out the Z06, which also received an "excellent" score. The Viper, brought up the rear with a "very good" rating, although it had the distinction of being the fastest vehicle to sprint to 60 MPH in Consumer Reports' history (4.2 seconds, if you didn't already have it firmly implanted in your cortex).<br /><br />Interestingly, of all the vehicles rated in the test, only the Lexus SC430 received the 'recommended" designation, due to a lack of reliability information on the rest of the models. <br /><br />Follow the 'read' link for a synopsis or wait until September 5th, when Consumer Reports hits newsstands everywhere.<br /><br />[Source: The Auto Channel]<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2006/09/01/consumer-reports-ranks-porsche-911-best-performance-car/">Consumer Reports ranks Porsche 911 best performance car</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Fri, 01 Sep 2006 10:05:00 EST.
