FIRST DRIVE: Alfa Romeo 33 Stradale – As Good As It Looks?

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.
