Jag concepts are always stunning but the production models are less so. Not to say they aren’t beautiful in themselves but production models always end up with a conservative front end and the grill is just hideous too. This is nice, hopefully it will stay true to form when it’s finally released. Makes up for the weird looking XKR.

Jaguars are beautiful looking machines.The british engineers of old were a breed that will never be forgotten amongst real car enthusiasts.The British roads are like race tracks in many areas,as the Brits and Europeans know how to build roads properly.That is a road that lets one enjoy the driving experience.
I have driven on Australian roads and they are sadly lacking to say the least.

I still dont think electric is the way to go for the future. Electric cars just take too long to “recharge” compared to refueling. Can you imagine motorsport pit stops? Not to mention the lack of sound.

Also, power stations still burn fossil fuels and so cars will still be dependent on them. With the sudden increase in demand for electricty to power our homes and our cars, whats going to happen to our electricity bills?

Aesthetically pleasing machine following an interesting trend in power train. It seem that the gremlins of 70’s Jags are now becoming midst in time and seems they are adapting well under the new management.

I am aware that battery technology is now advancing in an almost commensurate style to that of IT.

Poses some interesting scenarios as to what we will be driving in ten years.

Yes Alex i know.. there are a few images circulating the new of Jag’s 911 fighter. All of them nice and Rahan Tata wants it done for 50th anniversary of E type.. And he usually gets what he wants..

How funny that first Germany and now India are better at being British… than the British! Jaguar will the brand to watch for the next decade i think.. Might out Audi,Audi.

Yep, I know it’s not produced yet Alex. Just hope it is – like I said above, it is (sorry, will be) the best looking roadster I’ve ever seen should it actually end up looking like this.

You guys do realise that this picture is just a mish mash of current Jaguars don’t you? It probably won’t look a thing like the picture. I certainly can’t wait for a Jaguar roadster though.

Always been a fan of Jags and this looks awesome. The front end looks nice and aggresive. The Jaguar design team are really kicking goals lately.

That thing is stunning.. I was a bit embarressed to be a Jaguar fan for the last decade (xtype wagon anyone?) but this a great comeback indeed.
If this thing goes half as good as it looks it will be incredible.

I’d have to say that is the best roadster I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning lines.

That photo makes the car look a lot like an S2000.
