Jaguar will unveil the next generation XJ at the end of 2009 as a 2010 model. It will be a totally redesigned model, with design cues taken from the latest C-XF Concept and from the XF sedan. This sneak peak photo was taken while it was caught testing at the Nurburgring.

The 2010 XJ uses the internal code X351 and will feature the aluminium chassis of the current XJ but wears all-new bodywork. Jaguar wants it to be a serious competitor for the Aston Martin Rapide.

Until its official debut next year check our preview on the 2010 Jaguar XJ.
