Arden Tricks Out 2010 Jaguar XKR Convertible

Arden starts by hiking the performance of the new 5.0-liter supercharged V8 that gains 30 horsepower and 50 Nm of torque for a total output of 540 horsepower and 675 Nm (498 lb-ft). A sport suspension with new shocks and the removal of the electronic speed limiter complete the changes under the skin.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="[Arden+Jaguar+XKR-2.jpg]" border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FoXyvaPSnVk/SnwwfWCA4FI/AAAAAAAB82Y/Oc1L9xNw4eg/s1600/Arden+Jaguar+XKR-2.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />The tuner covers the XKR Convertible's front grille and air-intakes with handmade, chrome-plated stainless steel grilles while at the rear there's a new diffuser that houses the tail pipes of the new sport exhaust system. Of course, no Arden model would be complete without flashy wheels, and there's room for a new set of 21-inch Sportline alloys.<br />via:<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2009/08/arden-tricks-out-2010-jaguar-xkr.html">carscoop</a><br /><br /></span><p>

Handbuilt Eagle E-Type Speedster Revives the Iconic Jaguar E-Type

<center><img alt="Eagle E-type speedster" height="270" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/3121950.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Very much if you ask Eagle, who claim to be more than a E-Type restorer and definitely not a maker of replicas.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="Eagle E-type speedster" height="224" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/5479922.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Remember when Jaguars were the most beautiful, fastest cars on the road? Don't worry, you're not alone. UK firm Eagle remembers too and they're remaking this Jaguar E-Type Speedster using upgraded original components.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Eagle E-type speedster" height="225" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/7069064.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />But perhaps the East Sussex, U.K.-based Eagle shouldn't be judged solely on the originality of the parts it uses. This Jaguar E-Type speedster should be held accountable on its own merits.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Eagle E-type speedster" height="223" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/5859092.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />The Eagle 4.7 liter engine also delivers a comfortable 340 lb-ft of torque (460 Nm), plenty of pulling power when considering the car comes in at less than 1100 kg on the weight scale.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Eagle E-type speedster" height="221" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/2744140.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />The waterfall console, the custom-made 3-spoke steering wheel, the specially designed 3-eared wheel spinners on the wide alloy spoked rims, amongst other details, certainly help re-create a classic Jaguar styling. Eagle has made sure that the little touches are definitely there, and everywhere, and lay claim to making a true hand-crafted E-Type.<br /><br /><center><img alt="Eagle E-type speedster" height="224" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/3558246.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Actually, "remaking" probably isn't an appropriate term, maybe "reborn" would be better. See, while this vehicle was built on top of an original E-Type chassis and uses the original straight-six, the Speedster is actually a one-off contemporary design and that engine produces twice the power and torque of the original.<br />Source:<a href="http://jalopnik.com/5323954/recreated-jaguar-e+type-speedster-hits-175-mph/gallery/">jalopnik</a> via <a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/109072820742/handbuilt-eagle-e-type-speedster-revives-the-iconic-jaguar-e-type">worldcarfans</a><br /><br /></span><p>

Phil Hill's race-winning Jaguar C-Type on the block at Pebble Beach

<center><img alt="" height="265" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/mo09_r275_01.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />The upcoming auctions at Pebble Beach are shaping up to be the stuff of legends. Which should come as no big surprise as legends are exactly what will be up for grabs. In addition to the highly anticipated launch of the new "Grand Bentley" amidst the field of lust-worthy machinery on display, auctioneers will be putting such notable classics on the block as Ettore Buggati's own Type 57C, the one-of-a-kind Miller V16 racing car, and this historic 1952 Jaguar C-Type.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="" height="265" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/mo09_r275_02.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />The first C-Type Jaguar to be imported into the United States, model XKC-007 was sent straight to the race track where it was driven by no less a talent than the legendary Phil Hill. The World-Champion-to-be took this particular C-Type to three victories at Elkhart Lake, Torrey Pines and Watkins Glen, the former scoring as the first victory for the iconic C-Type in its storied history.<br /><br /><center><img alt="" height="267" src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2009/07/mo09_r275_05.jpg" width="400" /></center><br />After being retired from active duty, XKC-007 passed through several collections before undergoing a full restoration in 1986, after which it won numerous awards on the vintage concours circuit – including a reunion date with Phil Hill to commemorate Jaguar's 50th anniversary in 2002. XKC-007 will be up for auction at RM's three-day Sports & Classics of Monterey event from August 13-15.

Shipped to New York in 1952, this example was immediately driven to Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, where it, along with XKC-009, made their competitive racing debuts as part of the company's North American sales pitch for the model. It was at this meet that XKC-007 made Jaguar history when the eventual World Champion driver, Phil Hill – then just 25 – drove it to victory in The Sheldon Cup. Under the sponsorship of Charles Hornburg, the Western United States Jaguar distributor, and with Phil Hill back behind the wheel, XKC-007 went on to achieve further success at Torrey Pines that same year.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">XKC-007 passed through the hands of numerous owners over the following years and was fully restored by noted Jaguar expert Terry Larson before making its way into the distinguished, private collection of Jerry and Kathy Nell in 1993 where it has remained ever since. Presented in period correct condition, it notably displays the signature of the great Phil Hill and retains its original, numbers matching engine.Throughout its racing career, XKC-007 was never crashed.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"RM Auctions is truly honored to represent this outstanding C-Type on behalf of its long term owner. XKC-007 is certainly the most historically significant Jaguar C-Types to ever come to auction during Monterey's famed classic car week and its well-known provenance, coupled with its historically significant racing history and victories, is set to attract the interest of discerning collectors around the world," said Ian Kelleher, President and Chief Operating Officer of RM Auctions.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"It is without question an amazing opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to have the chance of successfully bidding on and owning the best of the very best," he added.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">In addition to its rich race history, XKC-007 has enjoyed success on the show field, awarded a national championship in 1994 by the Jaguar Club of North America. In 2002 it was reunited with Phil Hill at Pebble Beach to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the C-Type, as well as at another commemorative event in 2006 in Elkhart Lake when the famed Wisconsin road track was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">The rare 1952 Jaguar C-Type Sports Racing Car, chassis number XKC-007, will lead a magnificent line-up of investment-quality collector cars when RM Auctions highly anticipated Sports & Classics of Monterey auction event returns to the Portola Hotel and Spa, 2 Portola Plaza, Monterey, California, August 13th to 15th.

The technology is next-generation stuff and is likely to filter down into other next-generation Jaguars.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><center><img alt="2010 Jaguar XJ leaked photos - 800" height="303" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/4724971.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />The next XJ is promised to be the new class-leader in a segment led by the BMW 7 Series and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, as well as the Audi A8 and the Lexus LS. Jaguar seeks to reclaim its spot alongside these luminaries after years of being sidelined by both buyers and the motoring media.<br /><br /><center><img alt="2010 Jaguar XJ leaked photos - 800" height="301" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/7/large/8068841.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Powerful engines will match or even outperform some of its competitors. Here we can mention engines like the new 275hp (202kW), 600Nm 3.0-litre twin turbo diesel and the 5.0-litre V8 with natural aspiration. A supercharged XJR might use the engine that makes 510hp (380kW) in the XFR/ XKR but have its power upped to keep up with the BMW 760i and the Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG. Of course this is just pure speculation at this point in time.<br />via:<a href="http://www.worldcarfans.com/109070820342/2010-jaguar-xj-photos-leaked">worldcarfans</a><br /><br /></span><p>

Jaguar XF Being Evaluated as Police Pursuit Car in the UK

<center><img alt="Jaguar XF Police Car" height="265" src="http://img.worldcarfans.com/2009/5/large/309992684.jpg" width="400" /> </center><br />Is it necessarily true that a luxury car loses its snob appeal once it becomes a fleet vehicle? That question may be answered in a few months time if the UK Police forces decide to purchase a fleet of Jaguar XF Diesel S models which they are currently evaluating. These are the first ever Police-spec Jaguar XF units to be tested by the law enforcement across the UK.<br /><span class="fullpost"><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Press Release </span><br /><br /><div style="display: block; font-style: italic;" class="pressrelease"> <p><strong>PERFORMANCE JAGUAR XF IN POLICE PURSUIT</strong></p> <p>Jaguar UK has launched a high performance Police pursuit vehicle based on its award-winning XF Diesel S model. The first ever Police-spec XF is currently being evaluated by Police forces across the country.</p> <p>Geoff Cousins, UK Managing Director for Jaguar Cars, said: "Police forces are looking for vehicles that represent value for money, have good environmental credentials and deliver the power and performance required of a pursuit vehicle."</p> <p>The Jaguar XF beats other contenders in this market with a fuel economy figure of 42mpg, class-leading residual values and an excellent CO2 rating of 179g/km.</p> <p>"The Police Officers driving pursuit vehicles demand a very high level of performance and handling, as well as safety and comfort."</p> <p>The Police specification Jaguar features the 275PS 3.0-litre Diesel S engine with its unique, parallel sequential turbocharger system. Delivering high torque throughout the entire rev range, improved throttle response and low CO2 emissions, the twin-turbochargers work sequentially to deliver unrivalled response and best-in-class torque that means the XF packs a huge punch at all engine speeds.</p> <p>"We hope that with this amount of torque on tap - and a 0-60mph time of 5.9 seconds, we will meet and exceed the exacting standards of any Police Officer driving this car."</p> <p>The XF has picked up more than 20 international awards since launch, most recently 'Britain's Best Car' in the Auto Express Driver Power survey for 2009, 'Best Executive Car' at the What Diesel Magazine awards 2009 and the award for 'Best Executive Car' at the 2009 Fleet World Honours.</p> <p>In the UK, retail pricing of the XF range starts at £32,900 for the 3.0-litre petrol. The 3.0-litre diesel model is available from £33,900 while the 3.0-litre Diesel S starts at £36,900. For more information go to www.jaguar.co.uk.<br />via:World Car Fans<br /><br /></p></div></span>
