You’ll find a plethora of new car verdicts tucked away in the reviews section of CAR’s website, but (unsurprisingly) very few appraisals of a car from the back seat only. After all, a car would have to be a more than moderately special machine to warrant a mention of the rear quarters lengthier than ‘the headroom is adequate.’ Such a ...

There are no 200mph-plus hybrid supercars on sale and then suddenly, like London buses, four come along all at once. The new Ferrari Enzo F150, mega McLaren P12, Porsche 918 Spyder and Jaguar C-X75 will all likely compete in the rarefied circa $1 million price band when they hit the road in a few years (probably 2013-14). But that’s where ...

My elder daughter has just passed her 16th birthday, and she never notches up another year without recalling my original E-type Jaguar. A month before she was born, her mother was taken into hospital for observation; and on that same day the car was sent down from Coventry for me to test. I was on my own, free to go ...

We were quite surprised when Jaguar dropped a 'scoop' shot of a disguised Jag XF Sportbrake on to its Twitter feed this week. Particularly when it had Father Christmas in piling up the boot with presents. It goes to show what a strange media landscape this is nowadays, one where car manufacturers – like any big business – try and ...

Recently I had the chance to spend a weekend in the company of a BMW 335d M-Sport coupe. As befits a press car it was well-specified, with red leather sports seats and access-all-areas iDrive, along with a set of kerb magnet 19-inch alloy wheels to complement its menacing black colour scheme. Darth Tractor and I got along so well I put 973 miles ...

Today's Jaguar C-X75 announcement tells us plenty about the health of Jaguar. That a small Midlands company can take on Porsche - which sells around twice as many cars each year - with a 200mph supercar as clean as a Prius speaks volumes about the ambition of Jag in 2011. Although they didn't say so explicitly, reading between the lines ...

My first recollection of Jaguar was at the (now long since demolished) showroom of Howells of Cardiff. I was about 7 years old. My granddad was (god help him) trying to negotiate a deal on a Triumph Acclaim, while my father and I wandered into the BL showroom next door to see a Series III XJ12 in Gunmetal with red ...

One of the real privileges of writing about cars for a living is getting to take important new models out onto the public road, often long before the first customer cars are delivered, and letting fellow car-nuts see them up close or on the move for the first time. I don’t know how many hours I’ve lost in service-station car ...

Elsewhere on this site you might spot me hooning about on Anglesey race circuit with Jaguar vehicle development boss Mike Cross and a pair of XFRs (click here to see that video). But while I was there I also got a steer in one of the final development XJs – a long-wheelbase, non-turbo V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); The XJ's intellectually oddball styling ...
