After the now Indian automaker, Jaguar, unveiled the latest version of their luxury limousine the XJ sedan, the classic English automaker has also announced plans for a two door coupe version based on the same vehicle, in other words, a return of the legendary two-door XJC that was built between 1975 and 1978.
Rumors suggest that the Jaguar design studio is already hard at work creating sketches of the future sports car and the proposed XJC is already looking nice. The future Jaguar coupe should be styled heavily based upon the looks of the current XJ luxury limousine, but that is just speculation. However, what we do know is that the next XJC will feature a full length glass roof, a set of 21 inch rims and the new XJ’s hi-tech cabin.
The 2010 XJ sedan is the first Jaguar car to be built atop the automaker’s all-new aerospace-inspired aluminum unit body technology. The four door version will soon be available with the owner’s choice of new ultra-efficient Gen III gas and diesel burning engines ranging from a 3.0 Liter diesel V6 to a naturally aspirated 5.0 Liter V8 and a supercharged version with the same displacement. No matter which power plant is chosen, the new XJ should carry the same power and handling performance that has made all previous XJ models the automotive icons that they are recognized as today.
The all-new Jaguar XJ made its official debut at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, London. The car is now available for order and prices for UK starts from £52,500 for the standard wheelbase 3.0-liter V6 diesel luxury.

It seems that until July 9, Jaguar decided to tease the living daylights out of us with details about their next generation XJ. This time it is is all about driving dynamics. The engine lineup for the new car consists of the new 5.0 Liter V8 as the main gasoline burning engine available, with the 503 HP supercharged version toping the lineup with the XJR. There will also be a 3.0 Liter twin-turbo diesel V6 making 237 HP while returning as much as 40 MPG, but that engine has not been confirmed for the North America market just yet. Check out the video to see what we are talking about.
Jaguar will unveil the new generation XJ luxury sedan on July 9. But before we’ll see the final product, the company keeps teasing us with one more video, this time talking about the sedan’s aluminum body shell.
Jaguar promised to unveil a totally redesigned model in 2009, taking design cues taken from the latest XF-C Concept and the current XF super sedan. Even if the next generation XJ sedan will keep the car’s aluminum platform, everything on the exterior will be changed. As the Indian automaker prepares for its upcoming launch less than a month away in July one thing is for certain. Wherever a future super car is testing, spy photographers are never too far behind!
The now Indian automaker, Jaguar has officially announced that the next generation Jaguar XJ will keep the current 510 HP supercharged V8 from the R models, when it is unveiled this September at the Frankfurt Motor Show. This is a relief for all the Jaguar fans who feared a greener future with a little less horse power from the classic well handling British luxury limousine.
Next to the high performance powerhouse, Jaguar will also offer a wide range of internal combustion engines; mostly borrowed from the current XF and XK models. The majority of the piston pumpers will be gasoline powered with the entry-level model only having six of them. Don’t fret alternatively fueled junkies; there will also be a diesel powered unit.
The top of the line XJ will get the same 5.0 Liter V8 engine found in the current XFR sport sedan and two door XKR. There hasn’t been an XJR since the Vanden Plas trim was added, so this boosted XJ will wear an SV8 badge. However, there is talk of bringing back a 550 HP R version, but not anytime soon.
