New Jaguar sir? Suits you, sir
CAR Online certainly hopes so, and that the new XF will finally allow Jaguar to shed its pipe and slippers image. These are the most revealing shots yet of one of the most important cars in Jaguar’s history. Stripped of most of their disguise while hot-weather testing in Death Valley, the XF and XFR (shown above) are slowly revealing their curves.
So will the XF look like the concept?
Ultimately no. Few cars ever do. Our art editor has already bemoaned the XF’s dashboard though we have scooped the car’s new transmission control that has survived from concept to production. In the face of ultra-tough safety tests, emission regulations and demands for more space, the Jag will end up being bulkier than the concept, and a good bit taller too.
