NEWS: Jaguar R Range Expansion With 550PS XJR
Jaguar's iconic letters – XJR – are back! Yes, Jaguar’s peak performing cat range, those beasts in their cultish R range, has been expanded to include the XJR. The new XJR will be making its global debut at the 2013 New York Show, alongside the F-TYPE and all-wheel drive XF and XJ sedans. The 5.0-litre, supercharged, 550PS, 502lb ft XJR will become "the dynamic flagship sedan of the Jaguar line-up."
Jaguar PR says about the XJR: "With a bespoke chassis and aerodynamic developments, the XJR is the most focused, agile and responsive Jaguar XJ ever made. It delivers supercar performance and assertive looks with the highest levels of luxury."
And according to Adrian Hallmark, Global Brand Director, Jaguar: "The new XJR epitomises the three pillars of technology, performance and contemporary design which the Jaguar brand stands for in the twenty-first century, while delivering new levels of dynamic ability in a luxury saloon."
We love a hot Jaguar, don't you? And that 5.0-litre supercharged V8 engine is a beauty. Bring it on!

NEWS: Jessica Ennis Unveils Jaguar F-Type's Dynamic Debut
The all-new F-TYPE, driven by Jaguar Academy of Sports Ambassador Jessica Ennis, made its UK dynamic debut – purring like a good 'un (the Jag, not Jess!) – in front of a crowd of over 500,000 people at this year’s Lord Mayor’s Show in London. With a stunning display of old and new, the F-TYPE made its way through the City of London accompanied by two E-Types and got a great reception as it passed by the grandstands.
Jessica Ennis commented: "It was great being part of the Lord Mayor’s Show in the Jaguar F-TYPE. I was amazed how many people turned out to watch the procession.”
Bringing up the rear were two of the most famous E-Types ever built, Chassis No. 4 and No. 24, which were restored by Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth and showed the strong historic links existing between the two models. Pageantmaster Dominic Reid OBE said: "It was a great honour for us to welcome such an outstanding Olympian as Jessica Ennis to the Lord Mayor’s Show. It was wonderful how the crowd reacted to her. It was great to see Jaguar Cars back in the parade and the new F-TYPE making its UK debut supported by two important E-Types. This was particularly poignant as my father’s E-Type was driven in the show in 1973 by Graham Hill."
This year's event saw more than 6,500 people, 21 carriages, a Sherman tank and a steamroller taking part, which filled the whole area between Mansion House and the Royal Courts of Justice in Aldwych. The procession was cheered by thousands of people and watched live on the BBC by millions more who saw Jessica Ennis drive the all-new F-TYPE.
Hard to say which looked better... you decide!

VIDEO: Jaguar F-TYPE 'Fierce' Film: Testing @ Nardo
Fabulous film from Jaguar here, called 'Fierce,' filmed at the fabulous Nardo Test Facility in Italy, featuring the new awesome F-TYPE. Here it is being put through the most rigorous high-speed testing by Jaguar's engineers, setting up the ECU, suspension and much more in high temperatures. Nardo's unique ring shaped track means that test drivers can not only VMax the car, but it’s also possible to stress test at the most extreme high temperatures. Watch as the F-TYPE is pushed to its limits to ensure outstanding performance... and enjoy! Great film, great car...
