Well the exclusive is over– the embargo is done but now it’s all about the car. Jack Yan, publisher of Lucire.com ran this blog post about the new Jaguar XJ. I love the line and particularly the XJ — since it’s really the true Jaguar experience
Jaguar XJ
From the Insider Blog post written by Jack Yan
Jaguar has been issuing teasers of the new XJ for months. The car, styled under acclaimed Jaguar design boss Ian Callum, is a huge departure from the previous model, which continued a look started by the original XJ6 launched in 1968.
With an aluminium frame and panels, the new XJ is similar to the outgoing car under the skin, but has a far more modern and dramatic look.
Callum had been keen to return Jaguar to a more forward-looking design theme after years of both stagnation and retro design.
From the front, there is a passing resemblance to the Jaguar XF, but a six-light glasshouse and a rising waistline give a greater impression of length for the range’s flagship.
It is at the rear where the new Jaguar XJ has surprised observers, with thin taillights that have a hint of Bentley Continental to them. However, they continue to a point on to the horizontal surface on either side of the bootlid.
Thanks to Jack Yan for the scoop. We heart the Jag line.
