Ever since the debut of the Jaguar Advanced Lightweight Coupe (ALC) concept at the 2005 Detroit auto show in
January, we’ve been eagerly awaiting its production version, the new XK to appear. During the past months, we’ve seen
various spyshots and now, finally, Jaguar has announced the arrival of its most stunning car in recent memory. Designed
by Ian Callum, who also worked on the gorgeous Aston Martin DB9 and Vanquish, the new XK bares a striking resemblance
to its Aston cousins. The all-aluminum 2007 XK is stiffer and lighter than its predecessor and is powered by a 4.2L V8
that produces 300 bhp. 0-60 comes just under 6 seconds and top speed is limited to 155mph. The new XK will hit
showrooms next spring, with plans for the convertible to be announced later this year.
