Jaguar Advanced Lightweight Coupe

This car will give an idea how the next XK will look like. Personally I think this car looks gorgeous but it looks a bit too Aston Martin like, expecially like the upcoming DB8 (AMV8 Vantage Concept). I also think Jaguar previous conceptcars had a far sexier interior. Ok maybe not all of it could be fitted in a production car, but still, this looks a bit to normal for a Jaguar interior

Not a big evolution of the current XK I regret that, they should have change the lights .

[pzgren]

hmm, don't like it. it looks like a mix of different cars but the siluette is the same than the existing xk. nothing special in my opinion

I like it and I do think it is a big step up from the previous XK. It looks a bit like an Aston, but I don't mind. Astons look good. There are also some details from previous concept cars by Jaguar. It would be nice if they finally their way into a production model via the new XK.

The thing I don't like are the wheels. Too big and too much bling. I don't think wheels like this will be on the production version. Besides, they knew they were going to unveil it in Detroit, so that might have something to do with it as well.

"aluminium accents and leather inside, the 2+2 sports 21-inch wheels, telematics, a paddle-operated gearshift, and aluminium bodywork and chassis"

"The coupe rides on 21-inch alloy wheels with custom Pirelli tyres while new chrome gills behind the front wheels aid engine cooling and also improve aerodynamic flow to the rear"

"Thanks to a technologically advanced aluminium architecture – which is around 40 percent lighter and 60 percent stiffer than a standard steel body – and V8 powertrain assembly, the car would be capable of reaching 60mph in less than five seconds and a top speed north of 180mph."

Doesent sound like the old XK to me Although it looks similar, it is no way the same. What would be the point of making a new model that looks totally different from the one it replaces

[takata]

[adamwich]

Thanks for the pictures! I think it is beautiful! :shock:

[noosee]

Beautifull, but 2 close to DB9 I think

[Fleischmann]

Ripping the design off Aston Martin...taking the easy route... they even made it into a liftback, just like the AMV8.

If only they sold it with a manual transmission...

I don't know if I like this. In general it is really beautiful, but I find more flaws than nice details when I try to be concrete.

It is only the edge curving over the rear wheels (shoulder pads, hips or whatever) that make it look like an AM. Still, why copy such a distinct feature from your sister manufacturer?
The front lights are no good.
The size of the wheels would be fine if they were less edgy and racing inspired. Jaguar is supposed to be more elegant than that.
I can agree that the interior is a bit too boring, even though it's quite stylish.

On the other hand I love the air intakes in the sides of the front bumper, and the exhaust tips.
The texture of the aluminium in the interior is nice.
