Should I move on to a C8 Grandsport?

Come Back Jag!

Everybody knows that Jaguar is working on a new sportscar. Well, not one, but at least two. Or even three.
























Whenever Jaguar is working on a new sportscar, the media goes crazy. They start publishing renderings, and all kinds of what if designs, and they would write about roadsters and talk about speedsters and Boxsters. When people hear that Jag is developing a roadster, they instantly remember the famous E-Type. When people hear that Jag is developing a sportscar, they instantly remember the famous E-Type. Of course they do. And it is good thing.
And Jaguar knows it.
No wonder their latest toy, the C-X75 is a sportscar. Its not only that Jag is celebrating its anniversary, but also stretching out its paws and looking into the future.



The XK line up is slowly aging, the XJ220 is still whispering high speed promises and the Germans are just about releasing their new generation of roadsters. Porsche, BMW and Mercedes basically owned the smaller coupe/roadster segment.
And Jaguar knows it.

Ever since the XK-180 and F-Type concepts people are still dreaming about driving topless fast cats with a relatively affordable price. There is a market demand for this type of vehicles.
And Jaguar knows it.

"The problem with a front-engine car with, say, a V-6, is that you end up with a high bonnet [hood] line, further aggravated by pedestrian impact requirements, that increases the height of the windscreen and the occupant's H-point [hip-point]," one insider explained, adding, "but if the engine is in the middle, you can lower the height of the car overall." Above, R&T artist's interpretation of what a mid-engine XE could look like.

The new CEO of the luxury brands of Tata , Jaguar and Land Rover Carl-Peter Forster , (ex head of GM Europe ), in May announced the development of Jaguar Carl said openly that he is preparing a prototype of which is the F-Type 2013 . He said: “is already well underway and rowed with the first clay models solved.” The goal of Carl is to achieve a model that competes on an equal footing with the Porsche 911
