"Idea Car", you say? I'm looking forward to seeing some of these ideas incorporated into future Jaguars.------------------
 
0-60 in 3.8 seconds. A top speed of 214 mph. Fear me. My site - Car of the Week - This week is the Porsche 911 GT2. IP: Logged |

Some F-Type news if anyone's interested:Jaguar will have finalized the car's layout and specs in the next 6 months. The big decision is whether the X600 will be mid-engined or front-engined. The choice to use the X-Type's gearbox has already been made though, and a tentative engine line-up is being worked out: 2.2 I-6; 170 bhp
2.5 I-6; 220 bhp
3.0 I-6; 250 bhp & a supercharged variant with 330 bhp The F-Type will probably go on sale in 2004. ------------------

Wait - sorry. Correction.Those aren't inline sixes, they're V6s. (AJV6s, to be precise). Or so AUTOCAR tells me. ------------------

The rear lights are too Ford Mondeo. Too much curve up front, same direction and fault as the BMW Z9. The hofmeister kink in the C pillar is trademark BMW: hands offf!!!!!!!  .
Give it some of that flame surfacing Chris Bangle is always going on about.More edges needed, especially at the front.Lovely proportions though.In terms of the interior:- the front facia is too retro. enuff of that retro stuff!!!Try being progressive without being too avant gard, though.Overall? Good seats. Should go into production , subject to the said adjustments. NOOOOOOOO Mondeo parts!
