Conceito Jaguar C-X16

A Jaguar divulgou a primeira imagem do concept car C-X16. Desenvolvido pela equipe que produziu os Jaguar XJ, XF e XK, o protótipo C-X16 representa o primeiro avanço do futuro coupé compacto da marca britânica, destinado a concorrer com modelos como o Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Audi TT e BMW Z4, entre outros.



O diretor de design, Ian Callum, afirma que “os Jaguar excepcionais foram sempre belos, inovadores e inequivocamente futuristas. O protótipo final C-X16 tem o potencial de proporcionar tudo isto, mantendo a capacidade de surpreender, entusiasmar e refrescar.”



O Diretor-Geral da Jaguar Cars, Adrian Hallmark, ressalta que “a Jaguar criou e definiu planos arrojados e ambiciosos para o futuro. Este protótipo de produção demonstra a qualidade das capacidades de design e engenharia da Jaguar para tornar estes planos realidade , estou ansioso por partilhar o C-X16 no Salão Automóvel de Frankfurt.”

Jaguar Celebrates E-Type's 50th Birthday

At the 1961 Geneva Auto Show, Jaguar stunned the automotive world with a timeless design that is still regarded as one of the finest in history. That car was none other than the E-Type. The company said it will mark the E-Type's 50th birthday at this year's Geneva Motor Show and at other events such as the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, Goodwood's Revival and Goodwood's Festival of Speed, without going into any more details.

“Half a century of progress has not diminished the significance of the E-Type,” says Mike O’Driscoll, Managing Director Jaguar Cars. “It was a sensation when it was launched, and remains Jaguar's most enduring and iconic symbol. The E-Type is simply one of the most exciting cars ever created and a legacy to the genius of Jaguar's founder, Sir William Lyons.”

After all, what other car is a permanent exhibit in New York's Museum of Modern Art? Even the proud Enzo Ferrari said about the E-Type that it was “the most beautiful car in the world.” If one was asked to portray the sixties in the form of a car, the E-Type would be the obvious choice.

It was an even more impressive car considering the E-Type's performance managed to match its looks. Its straight-six 3.8-liter engine produced 265 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque, so the car was capable of doing 150 mph, earning it the title of the fastest production car of its time.

On top of that, it only cost a fraction of the price of rivals with similar performance (in today's money $60,000). It remained on the market for 14 years, selling more than 70,000 units.
